8
Using the Transmitter
Transmitter Range
The transmitter sends game audio from your PS3 or Xbox 360 to the headset via digital radio frequency (RF) signal, so a direct line of
sight is not required. When you’re out of range, you may hear popping or clicking sounds if the headset loses the RF signal. For best
performance, place the transmitter in an open area that is unobstructed by objects that might absorb RF signals from the internal antenna.
Avoid placing it on a metal surface, such as the top of a home theater A/V receiver.
When the transmitter and headset are communicating, the top LED on the front of the transmitter will be on. If this LED is slowly pulsing,
it means the transmitter can’t communicate with the headset. This could happen if the headset is turned off, out of range or needs
to be “paired”.
9
Using Wired Headphones
The transmitter can only communicate with one wireless headset, so two wireless headsets cannot be used with the same transmitter.
The headphone jack on the front of the transmitter can be used to connect a set of wired headphones for listening to the Dolby Surround
Sound game sound being transmitted to the wireless headset.* The volume control above the jack sets the volume of the wired headset
and does not affect the volume of the wireless headset.
*Since presets are governed by the PX5 headset, the presets do not apply to a second wired headset.
10
Pairing the PX5 and Transmitter
The headset and transmitter in this package are “paired”, which means they’re synchronized to ensure they work together. When
the headset and transmitter are communicating, the top LED on the front panel of the transmitter will be on solid. If this LED is instead
slowly pulsing, it means the transmitter can’t communicate with the headset. This could happen if the headset is turned off or out of
range. If the LED is slowly pulsing when the headset is on and within range, then they might need to be “paired” as described below:
Step 1:
Make sure the headset is off by pressing the
“Power” button until the LED turns solid, and
then release it when the LED turns off.
Step 2:
Then press and hold the headset power button
until the LED turns solid and release when the
LED begins to flash rapidly. A voice prompt will
announce "pairing headset."
3
Step 3:
Press and hold the transmitter “Bypass” button
for 5 seconds until the topmost LED on the transmitter 2
turns off, then release the button. The transmitter LED
will then flash rapidly and a voice prompt will announce
1
"headest paired."
After a few seconds, the topmost transmitter LED should be on solid and the headset LED should be flashing about once per second,
indicating that the units are paired.

16
PC/Mac® Setup 1,2,3
The PX5 can be setup for PC gaming (Windows or Mac) in 2 different ways depending on your system specifications. In order
to hear surround sound, your computer must have a digital (optical) connection and Dolby® Digital Live installed. For wireless
chat functionality, your computer must have Bluetooth® built in or you must purchase a separate USB Bluetooth adapter.
1. If your PC or Mac does not include a digital optical output, then you will need to purchase an “Optical S/PDIF Adapter”.
Turtle Beach offers the “Audio Advantage® Micro II” which is available on our website.
2. Most games will not output Dolby 5.1 unless your computer is running Dolby Digital Live. You will hear enhanced stereo
audio unless Dolby Digital Live is installed.
4. In this configuration you will only hear enhanced stereo audio. To hear surround sound, you need to use the digital
optical cable as shown in the first diagram and have Dolby Digital Live installed.

18
Home Theater Setup
Setting up the transmitter as illustrated below lets you listen to your console or TV with the PX5 headset. You can also hear your console
on your home theater speakers without disconnecting the optical cable from the transmitter.
The PX5 transmitter’s analog inputs connected to the TV will automatically shut off whenever your console is active, as indicated by the
digital input LED on the transmitter front panel. When your console is turned off, the transmitter analog inputs will automatically turn on
so you can listen to the TV with the PX5 headset without having to disconnect cables.
Connecting the PX5 transmitter digital output to your home theater system will pass your console’s game audio from the transmitter’s
digital input to the home theater A/V receiver digital input, so you can hear the game audio on your PX5 headset and your surround
sound speakers at the same time. To hear the game audio only on the PX5 headset, turn down or mute your speakers.

Dolby® Processing
The PX5 uses Dolby Pro Logic IIx, Dolby Digital, and Dolby Headphone processing technologies – the industry-standard formats for
encoding multi-channel game audio. Dolby Headphone processing recreates surround sound using the PX5 headset so you can hear
the sound all around you, as if you were listening to an actual surround sound speaker system.
The PX5 Transmitter supports three types of digital source material and analog stereo. When the Dolby Bypass button is ON, Dolby
processing is deactivated, so you can hear the unprocessed input signal in stereo. Here’s how the signal processing modes operate:
· When the digital input signal is active, the front panel Digital Input LED turns on and the analog inputs are turned off.
· If the Dolby Bypass LED is ON, Dolby processing is deactivated and the signal will be heard as stereo.
· If the digital input source is a Dolby Digital 5.1/7.1 signal, the front LED turns on and Dolby Headphone processes the channels
to create surround sound in the headset.
· If the digital input source is a Dolby Pro Logic IIx signal, both Dolby LEDs will turn on and Dolby Headphone processes creates
Pro Logic IIx surround sound in the headset.
· If the digital input source is stereo, the LED turns ON and the signal is processed by Dolby and Dolby
Headphone to create and expanded stereo sound in the headset.
· If the digital input source is not active (or disconnected) the analog stereo signal will be active.
· If there is an analog stereo input and the Dolby Bypass LED is ON, there will be no Dolby processing and the signal will be heard as stereo.
· If the is an analog stereo input and the Dolby Bypass LED is OFF, the LED turns ON and the analog stereo signal is
processed by Dolby Pro Logic IIx and Dolby Headphone to create an expanded stereo sound in the headset.
20
Digital Signal Processing
The PX5 headset incorporates a Digital Signal Processor (DSP) to independently modify game, chat and microphone audio. The DSP
settings are saved as presets, which are described in the next section. Connecting the PX5 headset to a PC with the included USB
cable lets you create custom presets or replace the presets with different ones downloaded from our website. For more information on
custom presets, please visit the PX5 section on our website (www.TurtleBeach.com).

Noise Gates: Separate noise gates on the game, chat and microphone audio channels cut out background noise that’s below a threshold
point, so rather than hearing static or other distracting sounds, you’ll hear total silence when there’s nothing going on.
Sonic Lens: The game sound can be processed by band-limited dynamic range compression that focuses on specific types of sounds
in the game (e.g. footsteps, the loading of a gun, etc.) so you can hear them better and react faster.
Sound Field Expander: The game sound field can be adjusted from narrow to wide, bringing out background sounds that might
be difficult to hear.
Blast Limiter: The maximum sound level can be limited over a wide range, so you can turn up the volume of softer sounds without blasting
your ears when louder sounds occur.
Chat Boost: Automatically boosts the level of Playstation® Network or Xbox LIVE® chat signals as the game volume increases, so you can
always hear your teammates regardless of game volume.
Voice Morphing: Change the pitch of your voice from the deep lows to shrill highs, disguising yourself to other online players.
Microphone ALC: An Automatic Level Control on the microphone channel helps prevent overload when you shout into the mic.
Microphone Monitoring: Hear your voice as you speak into the mic, so you won’t have to shout.
Multi-Band Equalizers: The game, chat and mic audio can be individually adjusted for optimum tone settings (e.g. bass boost/cut, treble
boost/cut, midrange boost/cut).
Ear Guard: After the game, chat and mic audio is mixed together, they’re processed by Ear Guard which limits the maximum sound level
before it reaches your ears, reducing ear fatigue during long gaming sessions.
Intuitive Voice Prompts: A voice announces headset status, so you won’t have to wonder what’s going on. (e.g “Battery low”, “Preset #”, etc).
22
Presets
The PX5 has a total of 18 presets that are grouped in two sets of 9. The first set is optimized for PS3 mode and the second
set of is optimized for Xbox 360 mode. Pressing the power button twice quickly will switch between wireless and wired modes and the
headset announces which mode is active.
23
Using Presets
Pressing the Main button on the right ear cup toggles between the Main and Alternate presets. For best results, start with the Main preset
and then toggle to an Alternate preset that’s optimized for the game situation you're in. When the situation has passed, you can switch
back to the Main preset. For example, if you want to focus in on the sound of enemy footsteps, toggle to one of the Alternate presets that’s
optimized for footsteps, then toggle back to the Main preset when you’re done.
Customizing Presets
The 18 default presets can be replaced with custom presets by downloading new ones from the Turtle Beach webstie. You can also
create your own custom presets by downloading the PX5 Advanced Sound Editor software. For more information, visit
www.turtlebeach.com/customize.
24
Using Bluetooth®
The PX5 incorporates Bluetooth technology that lets you communicate with Playstation® Network and Xbox LIVE®chat, answer calls on
your mobile phone and listen to stereo music streaming from a Bluetooth enabled digital music player. So, for example, you can answer
a phone call or listen to your favorite songs while gaming. If you’re not using any of these Bluetooth features, you should turn off the
Bluetooth radio to conserve battery power.
Dual Pairing
The PX5 can be simultaneously paired to 2 Bluetooth enabled devices at once. For example, you can pair the PX5 to Playstation Net-
work online chat and your mobile phone at the same time. If your mobile phone is also a digital music player like many smart phones,
you can stream music to your headset as well. The PX5 will automatically remember the last 2 paired devices upon powering on.
NOTE: Only one Bluetooth device can be active on the headset at a time. For example, if you are making a call with the headset while on Playstation
Network chat, the chat will be deactivated until the call is over.
25
Making Calls
Once the PX5 is successfully paired with your mobile phone, you can use it to make and receive calls. The PX5 can be used with voice
dialing if your phone supports this function.
1. Using voice dialing* – Press the BT MFB button for 3 seconds until you hear a tone—then release. The voice recognition prompt in your
phone will now be activated. Say the name of the phone number
or person whom you want to call. You can exit the voice recognition state at any time by pressing the MFB for 3 seconds.
2. Using mobile phone keys to make a call – Dial the number on the mobile phone as normal. Once the
call has been placed, the sound will automatically be transmitted to the PX5.
3. Redial – Double-click BT MFB button. You will hear two tones, and the last number called will be dialed.
4. Muting the microphone – During a call, the PX5 microphone muting can be toggled by Pressing
the MIC MUTE button. You will hear one tone, indicating that the mic mute is active. While the
mic is muted, a beep will be heard every 30 seconds to let you know that mic mute is still activated.
NOTE: Some mobile phones may not have a redial or voice recognition function. If a phone does not have a redial function, then a double-click
of the MFB will initiate the voice recognition state instead. If a phone does not have either function, then a double-click or 3-second press of the
MFB will have no effect.
Receiving Calls
When the PX5 Bluetooth is powered on and there is an incoming call you will hear a musical chime.
You have three options when an incoming call is received:
1. Answer call – Press the BT MFB once to accept the call. Press it again to end a call. A tone is heard in the earpiece each time you
answer or end a call.
2. Reject call – Press the BT MFB for 3 seconds until you hear a beep. The call is sent directly to your voicemail.
3. Do nothing – The “incoming call chime” will sound until your phone sends the caller to voicemail.

Troubleshooting Tips
No sound
• Check that the transmitter and headset volume controls are both turned up.
• Check that the transmitter power and optical cables are properly connected.
• Check that the headset is powered on. The LED on the left ear cup should be flashing.
• Check if the top LED on the front of the transmitter is on solid. If the LED is slowly pulsing, it indicates that the transmitter isn’t
communicating with the headset. If the headset is on solid and the transmitter LED is slowly pulsing, then the headset and
transmitter need to be “paired” as described in the section “Pairing the PX5 Headset and Transmitter”.
28
Troubleshooting Tips (con’t)
PS3 Pairing Issues
• If the PS3 cannot locate your PX5, make sure that it is in pairing mode before you starting scanning, as indicated by the
flashing red/blue LED.
• If the PX5 is missing from the device menu list after you re-start your PS3, please repeat the pairing process.
• I f the PX5 appears on the PS3 Audio Device menu but is not selectable, then it is not connected (it should connect automatically when
the Audio Device menu is selected). Make sure the headset is charged and powered on, then select the “Connect Bluetooth” tab on
the screen. If this doesn’t correct the issue, please repeat the pairing process.
• If there are other active Bluetooth devices nearby, power them off to see if this has any effect on the PX5’s performance.
• Also try updating your PS3’s system software with the latest version. This can be done in the System Settings menu.
Safety Notice
To avoid potential damage to the device, always disconnect all cables before transporting it.
WARNING: Permanent hearing damage can occur if a headset is used at high volumes for extended periods of time, so it is important
to keep the volume at a safe level. Over time, your ears adapt to loud volume levels, so a level that may not cause initial discomfort can
still damage your hearing. If you experience ringing in your ears after listening with the headset, it means the volume is set too loud.
The louder the volume is set, the less time it takes to affect your hearing. So, please take care to listen at moderate levels.
• Before placing a headset on your ears, turn the volume down completely,
then slowly increase it to a comfortable level.
• Turn down the volume if you can’t hear people speaking near you.
• Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
