INTRODUCTION

Advent Wireless Headphones expand and enhance your enjoyment of the audio
sources (TV, stereo, etc.) in your home. Like FM radio, the Advent Wireless
Headphone System’s 900 MHz signals travel with ease through walls, floors, ceil­ings and other obstacles, delivering high-quality stereo sound to virtually anywhere
in or about the home. Resonator-controlled circuitry for drift- and static-free recep­tion, coupled with outstanding range up to 300 feet*, make the possibilities for your
enjoyment of the Advent Wireless Headphone System nearly unlimited.

The Advent Wireless Headphone System is compatible with most audio sources, i.e.
TVs, VCRs, stereo receivers/amps, personal stereos, boom boxes, DSS receivers,
and individual stereo component pieces (CD players, cassette players, etc.).
Because the headphones do not have line-of-sight restrictions imposed by infrared
technology-based systems, you have the freedom to use the headphones while
moving about freely within the transmitter’s sending range – up to 300 feet* in all
directions. The contents of this manual cover various connection options and
detailed operating procedures for making the Advent Wireless Headphone System a
valued part of your lifestyle. If, after having reviewed the instructions, you have any
questions, please contact our Customer Service Department at 1-800-732-6866.

*Maximum range; results achieved may vary by environment.
