I had initially considered C. Crane but they told me that their transmitter couldn't do what I needed. Nice people to deal with and I have bought some of their other products. Not the cheapest place, though.

Verify the power on the FM Transmitter, your audio source and your receiver is on. 2.. Try adjusting the input level on the side of the FM Transmitter. If that doesnt help, try adjusting the volume of your audio source. 3.. Check your cable and make sure it is connected to the right audio source. 4.. Check your frequency and make sure you are tuned to the correct frequency. If none of the above options work, try the FM Transmitter on another device. How do I connect my FM Transmitter to my computer? You can connect it directly to your computers sound card by connecting to the output or headphone jack. You need to adjust the volume on your computer and the input level control on the FM Transmitter. You can also connect the FM Transmitter to your computers speakers if they have a headphone jack. Why am I getting muffled sound or poor fidelity from my FM Transmitter? The input level control on the side of the FM Transmitter is probably set too high. The FM Transmitter ""overloads"" easily, and this may cause muffled, harsh, and distorted audio. Set the input level control so that the LED on the unit just barely glows or flashes, and then back it off just a little. If the gain is set any higher, then the LED will flash brightly or stays on. This means the unit is overloading. Overloading can cause poor audio quality. On the other hand if the level is set too low, the signal will have more noise and hash, and will also transmitting range. How does the Automatic Power Off Timer work? Press and hold the power button. It must be activated. It will shut the transmitter off in 1, 2, 4, or 8 hours selectable by you.
