Theseare small circular rings with a red or white plastic insert, andthey may be located on the front or rear of the audio device(Please refer to your audio device owner’s manual). As withthe SCART Adaptor, connection does not interrupt sound tothe speakers, allowing others to listen at the same time.

Plug the Audio Jack Cable into thissocket to connect the audio device to The Conversor TV Protransmitter.By plugging the Audio Jack Cable into the headphonesocket on the TV or Audio Device, the speaker of the audiodevice will be disconnected, so that other people cannot listenat the same time.Sockets and Connections – ReceiverThe Conversor Pro Reciever can also be used with anearpiece or binaural headphones instead of using yourHearing Instrument, as described below.Simply plug the ear piece or headphones jack into the socketlocated on the bottom of The Conversor Pro Receiver.This socket is an Audio Output Socket.
