equipment

This unit uses radio waves to transmit the signals so it is recommended to use the headphones within the range
of the radio waves.

The range of the radio waves

The radio waves have a maximum range of 30 m (98.4 ft.) from the transmitter.
The most appropriate frequency is automatically set when the headphones are taken off the transmitter. When

the headphones are used outside the range of the radio waves or the radio waves weaken, the sound is
broken. Move nearer to the transmitter or reset the frequency ( page 14 [Setting the most appropriate
frequency]).

● Since this unit is using the 2.4 GHz radio frequency band, obstacles (such as reinforced concrete walls
and metal doors) may cause the sound to be broken. This is a characteristic of radio waves and not a
malfunction.

● The sound heard from the headphones will differ depending on where the transmitter is placed and the kind
of location in which it is used. We recommend placing the transmitter where the sound is received best.

● The sound may be broken when the unit is used at the same time as other equipment that uses the 2.4 GHz
radio frequency band such as wireless equipment or microwaves.

Locations

Avoid placing the unit in the following locations

- Places with high temperatures such as near heating appliances or places directly exposed to sunlight

- Places with a lot of dust

- On top of unstable carts or inclined surfaces

- Places with excessive vibration

- Bathrooms and other moisture-prone places

Listening caution

Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing
“comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound. So
what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful
to your hearing.
Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe

level BEFORE your hearing adapts.
Selecting fi ne audio equipment such as the unit
you’ve just purchased is only the start of your musical
enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how you can
maximize the fun and excitement your equipment
offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries
Association’s Consumer Electronics Group want you
to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at
a safe level. One that lets the sound come through
loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion­and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive
hearing.

We recommend that you avoid prolonged exposure to
excessive noise.

To establish a safe level:

● Start your volume control at a low setting.

● Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it

comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.

Once you have established a comfortable sound

level:

● Set the dial and leave it there.

Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent

hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we want

you listening for a lifetime.

Note

● When watching movies, be careful not to turn up the volume too high during quiet scenes. The movie may
suddenly switch to a very noisy scene and you could damage your ears if the volume is raised too high.

● Avoid listening for prolonged periods of time to prevent hearing damage.

● Be sure to use the headphones within the range of the radio waves.

● Discontinue use if you experience discomfort. Continued use may cause rashes or other allergic reactions.

For your reference

● If you disconnect the AC adaptor from the transmitter before taking off the headphones, there may be static
noises.

● The actual location of the sound may be diffi cult to recognize with music and audio only sources such as music

Time required for mode changes

The actual time required for the unit to change to a particular mode after it has been selected using the slide

switch on the transmitter, may vary between individual modes. This is due to different internal systems being
used to change to different modes.

DECODE MODE lamp l

The transmitter automatically distinguishes the recording method of the input signal and this lamp lights as

shown below. When switching to DOLBY DIGITAL/DTS and so on, do so on the connected equipment e.g. the
DVD player.

● DOLBY DIGITAL: Signals recorded in DOLBY DIGITAL format.

● DOLBY PRO LOGIC II: Analog input signals, digital input signals (PCM 2-channel signals) and DOLBY

DIGITAL 2-channel signals treated as DOLBY PRO LOGIC II. (Select “OFF” in SURROUND MODE (
page 14) to stop this).

● DTS: Signals recorded in DTS format.

● MPEG-2 AAC: One of the audio compression formats defi ned by the MPEG-2 standard. Advanced audio

coding is used for the sound in digital televisions.

For your reference

When any function other than [PLAY] - such as fast-forward or rewind - is selected on the equipment connected
using the DIGITAL IN terminal, the DECODE MODE lamp may not light correctly. If [PLAY] is selected, it will
however light correctly.

When you are unable to hear any sound from the headphones

(MUTING function)

If the headphones are used outside the range of the radio waves or the radio waves weaken, reception will

decline and the MUTING function will come on. No sound will then be heard from the headphones. If this
happens, move nearer to the transmitter and the MUTING function will automatically switch off. If the sound
is still broken, reset the headphones to the most appropriate frequency.(

If no audio signal is received at the transmitter for more than

approximately 5 minutes

The radio waves being emitted from the transmitter automatically stop and the transmitter’s OPR/CHARGE

lamp goes out. The radio waves start being emitted again when an audio signal is received. When the input
audio (analog only) continues to be very low for more than 5 minutes (approximately), the radio waves being
emitted from the transmitter may stop. If this happens, increase the volume level on the connected equipment
and decrease the volume level on the headphones.

If a noise signal is input from equipment connected by the LINE IN terminal, the output of radio waves may not

stop.

Listening to audio from equipment connected to the transmitter

Troubleshooting guide

If the sound is broken or noisy when the headphones are in use

(Setting the most appropriate frequency)

The sound may be broken or noisy if the headphones are used outside the range of the radio waves or if

the reception becomes poor due to the interference from other wireless equipment using the 2.4 GHz radio
frequency band, a microwave etc.

Perform the following steps to manually reset the appropriate frequency for transmitting.

Press [ID/TUNING] on the transmitter once.

● The ID/TUNING lamp on the transmitter glows green, the
transmitter changes the frequency and then radio waves
start being transmitted.

● The headphones will automatically detect the emitted
frequency and noise and sound distortion will stop.

When the noise or sound distortion does not stop

Repeat the above step until the most appropriate frequency is set.

● This may not solve the problem if the headphones are being affected by a digital cordless telephone or other
device. In this case, moving the transmitter and the headphones as far as possible from the digital cordless
telephone or other device may stop the noise or sound distortion.

Selecting the surround field

Press [SURROUND] to select the desired surround
mode.

Each time the button is pressed

● The SURROUND lamp for the selected mode will come on.

● This will go off, if “OFF” is selected.

● If the AC adaptor is disconnected and then connected, CINEMA is

automatically selected.

Surround mode Surround mode and suitable input source

OFF For normal headphone play
MUSIC When playing music sources for enhanced acoustics
