Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
Before you start using your RS 5000:
What are the advantages of wireless TV headphone systems?
With a wireless TV headphone system, you benefit from the following advantages:
- You can watch TV while your partner can e.g. read or sleep undisturbed in the same room.
- You can enjoy crystal-clear sound without being completely acoustically isolated from your environment.
- The stethoset receiver does not encircle your ears like normal headphones. The ear pads don't fully cover your ear canals and allow ambient sound to pass so you are not acoustically isolated from your environment.
- Your hearing sensitivity starts to change but you can enjoy and hear TV sound clearly without having to increase the volume.
- You can better understand and enjoy the dialogs in movies or sportscasts, without annoying background noise such as background music or stadium noise.
During the use of your RS 5000:
Why are my TV's internal loudspeakers muted when I connect the wireless headphone system using the analog cable?
This should only be the case if the TR 5000 transmitter is connected to the analog headphone socket of your TV. Some TV models mute the internal loudspeakers as soon as a headphone jack is inserted. Check the menu of your TV to see if and how the internal loudspeakers can be unmuted. Alternatively, you can connect the transmitter using the audio connection "AUDIO OUT" or "DIGITAL OUT" (if available).
Can I use several headphones/receivers with one transmitter?
You can connect (pair) up to 4 stethoset receivers to the TR 5000 transmitter and use them simultaneously.
How can I personalize the sound of the wireless headphone system?
The hearing profiles allow you to personalize the sound of the RS 5000 and to especially improve the speech intelligibility. You can choose between the following hearing profiles:
- Hearing profile 1 - Low-frequency tones are slightly boosted to provide a warm, full sound. High-frequency tones are reproduced less piercing and clanking.
- Hearing profile 2 - High-frequency tones are strongly boosted to provide a crystal-clear sound, especially for sibilants and high-frequency tones such as twittering of birds.
- Hearing profile 3 - Low-frequency tones are attenuated so that they cannot mask high-frequency tones.
- If no hearing profile is selected, the sound from the connected audio source is reproduced unchanged.
When speech is mixed with annoying background noise, you can use the speech intelligibility function. The speech intelligibility function automatically detects and reduces annoying background noise. Speech is foregrounded and easier to understand. Press the Speech intelligibility button to activate or deactivate the function. The speech intelligibility function can also be used in addition to one of the hearing profiles 1–3. If you switch to the next hearing profile, the speech intelligibility function is automatically deactivated.
When I wear the stethoset receiver for extended periods of time, the ear pads exert pressure on my ears and cause pain. Are the ear pads available in different sizes and forms?
Ear pads in different sizes are available as optional accessories from your Sennheiser partner
Why is there reverb/echo when using the headphones with my TV?
When using the headphones with your TV and the TV sound is also reproduced through the TV’s internal loudspeakers, this can cause reverb/echo issues. To eliminate the reverb/echo effect, reduce the volume on your TV or check the audio output settings of your TV to see if you can reduce the "latency" or "delay" setting (recommended setting: "0" or "low").
How can I protect my settings against accidental changes?
The advanced settings allow you to adjust the TV headphone system to your individual needs and to protect the settings against accidental changes.
What can I do if the volume is very low?
This should only be the case if the wireless headphone system is connected to an analog headphone socket of your TV/audio device. In this case, make sure that the volume of your TV/audio device or the volume of the headphone socket on your TV/audio device is adjusted to at least a medium level. Deactivate the muting function on the audio source.
What does a flashing battery status display on the transmitter mean when I switch the stethoset receiver off?
A flashing battery status display means that the charging reminder function is activated. When you take the stethoset receiver out of the transmitter's charging compartment and the transmitter switches to standby mode, the Battery LED will flash for 10 minutes to remind you to charge the stethoset receiver. The LED stops flashing when the charging process starts. You can also deactivate the charging reminder function.
Are there special instructions for battery maintenance?
No, the transmitter’s intelligent battery charging technology ensures that the rechargeable batteries are always charged to their optimum capacity and the battery life span is maximized. When not using the wireless headphone system for extended periods of time (several months), it is recommended that you remove the rechargeable batteries and store them in a dry place at room temperature.
