Hi all,
I have a roger On iN and want to directly connect it so that I can hear television more clearly.
Phonak supply an optical connecting cable (sometimes called “toslink”) that can be plugged into the back of a regular TV. The other end is plugged into the combined audio/optical socket on the Roger On iN charger stand.
We don’t have a regular TV. Our “TV” is actually an IPTV box that is connected to our Hi-Fi and a projector. Sound to the loudspeakers works fine. But I can’t hear the loudspeaker sound clearly, so want to use the Roger On iN connected with that optical cable.
My Hi-Fi amplifier has an optical output that accepts the Phonak optical cable. When I plug it in, the pinpoint red light can be seen on the charger stand end of the optical cable. I connect the optical cable to the iN charger stand and “dock” the iN. A music note symbol appears on the iN’s display, but I hear nothing, even if the volume buttom on the iN charger is set to maximum.
Thinking that there might be something wrong with the amplifier’s optical output, I then bought a small box of electronics that converts output from stereo RCA phono to optical. Same story. When I plug it in to the phono output of the amplifier, the pinpoint red light can be seen on the charger stand end of the optical cable. I connect the optical cable to the iN charger stand and “dock” the iN. As before, the music note symbol appears on the iN’s display, but I hear nothing, even if the volume button on the iN charger is set to maximum.
I’m pretty knowledgeable about this sort of thing but am now stumped.
Does anyone have any suggestions please?
Richard
