Audio from your TV

The audio output from television receivers varies considerably. It is therefore very important to select the right audio product for your television.

In general, four types of output connector may be used: Headphone socket, SCART, Phono or digital audio. The electrical character of each of these outputs is different and may even vary between different models and manufacturers of television sets.

These products may not be connected directly to the digital audio output of your TV or audio equipment.

Personal TV Loops and Silent Headphones

This range includes Personal Television Loops and Silent Headphones, both of which may be used wherever a normally-hearing person would use a pair of headphones. The TVL loops and the Silent Headphones are designed to plug directly into the headphone socket of your TV. They are supplied with a short, tug-safe connection to a 4 metre lead fitted with a 3.5mm stereo socket.

Home Loop System

In the HLS-30 system, a loop is installed around your living room and coupled with your television via a special induction loop amplifier. Home Loop Systems are also supplied with a microphone, to pick up conversation or general room sound (such as telephone ringing).

The CLS-30 is a home loop system incorporating a cushion loop, for use where it is necessary to limit the range of the loop transmission, for example in flats or residential accommodation.
