It is also worth noting that the TV receiver is able to recognize the connected transmitter. This can be seen by first going to the settings menu. In the menu, select the "Connected devices" item. After that, the presence of connected devices will be displayed in a separate window. If the synchronization between the gadget and the TV has not been completed, the user must restart both devices.

When adjusting the volume it is worth considering the distance at which the paired gadget is from the TV... At a great distance from the TV receiver, sound may be reproduced with interference or partial loss of signal. Because of this, it will be problematic for the user to adjust the desired volume level.
