Four steps to sound in both headphones.
Do each step in order and check the expected lights before moving on.
Step 1
Power the transmitter.
USB-C supplies power only—not TV sound.
Watch: power the transmitter
- Plug USB-C into the transmitter.
- Plug USB into a powered TV port or 5 V, 1–2.4 A adapter.
- Slide the transmitter to ON.
✓
Ready: transmitter lights turn on or blink.
No wall adapter in the box?
Use a powered TV USB port or standard 5 V adapter. USB provides power; the Optical or AUX cable carries TV sound.
Step 2
Choose the socket label you see.
Match both the printed label and the shape. Use an audio OUT, never an input.
Which socket label is on your TV?
Tap the matching socket. If the TV has only HDMI ARC/eARC, choose HAX06.
Connect with Optical
Use the cable with purple square ends.
- Remove the clear caps from both cable ends.
- Push one end fully into TV OPTICAL / DIGITAL AUDIO OUT.
- Push the other end fully into transmitter Input from TV — OPT.
TV OPTICAL OUT→Transmitter OPT input
Watch: Optical connection
Next: set the TV to Optical output and PCM.
Connect with AUX
Use the cable with blue round ends.
- Connect TV HEADPHONE / AUDIO OUT to transmitter Input from TV — AUX.
- Push both plugs in completely.
- Raise TV volume to about 50%.
TV HEADPHONE OUT→Transmitter AUX input
Watch: AUX connection

- Connect the HAX06 to the TV's HDMI ARC/eARC socket.
- Connect HAX06 Optical OUT to transmitter Input from TV — OPT.

✓

Quick fixes
Choose what is wrong.
Follow the short check, then confirm the expected result.
1Sound only on one side of a headphone
- Test the other included headphone on the same TV program.
- On the affected headphone, confirm left/right balance is centered on the TV, phone, or PC.
- Turn the headphone off and on, then test another source.
Expected: speech plays from both earcups. If one earcup stays silent on every source, submit a ticket for hardware service.
2Only one headphone connects
- Use the transmitter setup, not TV Bluetooth.
- Turn off Bluetooth on nearby phones/PCs so a headphone cannot reconnect there.
- Turn both headphones OFF, then ON.
- Press the matching black or red button on the transmitter once and wait 5–10 seconds.
Expected: both headphone LEDs turn solid blue. Direct TV Bluetooth supports only one included headphone at a time.
🔇No sound after setup
- Confirm the cable uses TV audio OUT and transmitter Input from TV.
- For Optical, select Optical output and PCM.
- Check the transmitter Audio Signal LED: solid means valid audio; blinking means fix the TV output/settings.
- Raise each headphone's volume.
⌁Hum, buzz, or crackling
- Push the AUX plugs fully into both ports.
- Move the audio cable away from USB power adapters and other power cables.
- Try Optical if available; it avoids analog ground noise.
- Try a different 5 V USB power source.
Expected: clean audio without hum. If only one headphone hums on every source, submit a ticket.
⚡Transmitter will not turn on
- Reconnect USB-C at the transmitter and the USB power source.
- Use a 5 V, 1–2.4 A source.
- Try another cable or powered USB port, then slide OFF → ON.
If no LED appears, submit a ticket with a photo of both cable ends.
