3 Connect the supplied AC power adapter

to an AC outlet.

Preparing the receiver

1 Connect the receiver to a TV with the

supplied AV connecting cord. (See fig.B–c)

WARNING

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: – Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. – Increase the separation between the equipment and

receiver.

– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit

different from that to which the receiver is connected.

– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV

technician for help.

For the customers in Canada

CAUTION

TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT USE THIS POLARIZED AC PLUG WITH AN EXTENSION CORD, RECEPTACLE OR OTHER OUTLET UNLESS THE BLADES CAN BE FULLY INSERTED TO PREVENT BLADE EXPOSURE.

AC power cord plug

One blade of the plug is wider than the other for the purpose of safety and will fit into the power outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, contact your dealer.

If your TV or VCR is a monaural type

Connect the yellow plug for video and connect only the white plug for audio on both the receiver and the TV or VCR. With this connection, the sound is monaural.

Notes

• To connect the receiver to an AC outlet, use only supplied AC power adapter, because the polarity of the supplied adapter is opposite of conventional adapters. Do not use the supplied AC power adapter for other electric appliances with a DC IN 9 V jack.

Polarity of the plug

• To connect more than one appliance to the transmitter, use an AV selector such as the SB-V30G, SB-V40, etc. (optional).

You are cautioned that any changes or modifications not expressly approved in this manual could void your authority to operate this equipment.

Using This System

The following example details the connection of the transmitter to a camcorder. Please refer to the operation manual supplied with your video equipment such as camcorder or video game.

1 Turn on the camcorder or the video game

connected to the transmitter.

2 Press POWER on the receiver to turn it on

(OON). (See fig.C–a)

3 Turn the TV on. 4 Set the POWER switch on the transmitter

to ON. (See fig.C–b)

5 Start the playback by turning on the

camcorder or the video game.

6 Adjust the angle and direction of both the

transmitter and receiver.

Make sure that the infrared receiver and the transmitter face each other when you use the system.

Using a headphones (See fig.C–c)

Connect the headphones to the PHONES jack. Adjust the volume with the VOL control.

After using this system

Press POWER on the transmitter and the receiver to turn them off (o OFF). The Power lamp goes off.

Coverage of the infrared rays (See fig.E)

The diagrams illustrate the approximate area covered by the infrared rays. Position the transmitter and the receiver within the area so that the units operate effectively.

Notes

• Select the input of the receiver with the input selector on the TV.

• If the angle of the transmitter or receiver is adjusted past the movable range as illustrated, it can cause a malfunction.

• Do not cover the light emitter or receiver of the transmitter or the receiver with your hand, etc.

• The infrared rays will not penetrate walls or opaque glass. Therefore, the infrared receiver must be used within the “in sight” area of the transmitter.

• The brightness of the transmitter’s light emitter is not necessarily stabilized. This is not a malfunction and does not affect the infrared coverage distance.

• Noise and beats appears when the transmitter and the receiver are positioned too close.

Troubleshooting

If you run into any problem using the system, first check the power supply source. Then use the following table for troubleshooting. Should the difficulty persist, disconnect the power source and contact your Sony dealer or local authorized Sony service facility.

Precautions

On safety

• Unplug the AC power adapter from the AC outlet when it will not be used for a long period of time. To disconnect the AC power adapter, pull it out by the plug. Never pull the cord itself.

• Do not open the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.

• Be sure that nothing metallic comes into contact with the metal parts of the AC power adapter. If it does, a short circuit may occur and the unit may be damaged.

Operation

• Do not place the units in a location where it is: – Extremely hot or cold – Dusty or dirty – Very humid – Vibrating

• Do not apply mechanical shock or drop the units.

• The units become warm during the use, but this does not indicate a malfunction.

• Avoid exposing any part of the receiver’s light receiver to strong rays such as direct sunlight or inverter fluorescent lamp rays or to another infrared ray source such as a remote commander.

• Do not place any obstructions between the transmitter and receiver, or the visual and sound will disappear.

• Do not use this system with another infrared ray transmitter such as cordless headphones or two pairs of this system at the same time. The signals may become mixed.

On cleaning and care

• Clean the units with a soft cloth slightly moistened with water or mild detergent solution.

• Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner to clean the units, as they may mar the finish.
