Guest guest Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 Sometimes one of the batteries is substandard and that makes for not enough power overall. It happens!

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 why watch tv with t-coil ...............Patsy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 Why TV coil, OK I will you. I use a Nucleus hi fi cable, that I connect to my processor ,connect to a stereo AV receiver, which gets sound from the TV. I would not get any other sounds from the other rooms.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 Dear beloved Moses: You think we got a crystal ball, already? LOL ! You got a bum battery, note probably singular. Just like batteries in a 3 cell flashlight, the Zinc Air cells in Nucleus 24 are wired in series to produce an effective operating voltage in the range of 3.75 volts or 1.25 per cell. The battery label of 1.4 volts is deceiving, and only applies to a fresh cell with no load applied. It only takes one apple to spoil the bunch, they say, and that applies to Batteries as well! This can happen in all brands.. but curious, was it the Bunny's or Arnie Palmer's or what brand was it? Bob ..............

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 Sounds like some batteries. See if it happens again and if so you probably have a bad batch.

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Connie, are you using the body aid, or the G3? Moses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Moses Something I do which works very well when using the cables is I put my processor on auto sensitivity and that blocks out the background noise and allows me to only hear the tv/cd player. This works great when I go to the gym and ride the bikes (something I need to do more of) so I don't hear all the extra noise. Connie chinamoses@... wrote: Why TV coil, OK I will you.

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Carol, I have already replied, I mentioned that I had direct listening from my G3 processor to stereo AV receiver, which is connected to the TV. I didn't want to hear any outside noise from other rooms, so thats why I use Tcoil. Regards, moses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
