TUNING
VOL control
Try the above steps 3 and 5 until the
receiving performance becomes better.
Auto power on/off function
When you remove the headphones from your
head, the power turns off automatically. Do not
allow the self adjusting band to be pulled up,
otherwise the headphones will be switched on.
The power turns on.
Note
If a hissing noise is heard move closer to the transmitter.
Flexible Circuit Board Repairing
• Keep the temperature of soldering iron around 270˚C
during repairing.
• Do not touch the soldering iron on the same conductor of the
circuit board (within 3 times).
• Be careful not to apply force on the conductor when soldering
or unsoldering.
Notes on chip component replacement
• Never reuse a disconnected chip component.
• Notice that the minus side of a tantalum capacitor may be
damaged by heat.

ELECTRICAL ADJUSTMENTS
Notes:
1. Use a transmitter to which check and adjustment are already
completed.
2.
On adjusting the headphones section, use the transmitter as a jig.
Headphones:MDR-RF875R

IC 308 pin 7 and GND on the RX-BASE board.
6. Connect a 33KΩ resistor between IC301 pin 4 and pin 7.
7. Connect lead wires to the speakers’ terminals (L+,L-,R+,R-)
on the RX-BASE board. (See page 9)
3-1. Free Run Frequency Check and Adjustment
1. Set the transmitter AUDIO IN-A connector (J402) to no signal.
Note: In this case, operation time is about 4 or 5 minutes.
2. Check the transmitter power indicator (red) lights.
3. Set the transmitter CHANNEL switch to 1.
4. Connect DC 1.2V across TP and GND.
5. Connect a frequency counter to IC301 pin 4 and GND on the
RX-BASE board.

1kHz signal and CH2 is GND.
9. If CH1 and CH2 are not satisfied in step 8, adjust the coil (L301)
on the RX board to satisfied step 8.
10. Open between Q303 corrector and GND on the RX board.
11. When the transmitter off, check the waveform of the
oscilloscope as follows:
1.8V
GND
2–3 sec
12. Set the transmitter CHANNEL switch to 1.
13. Push the headphones tuning switch (S301) to receive radio
frequency.
14. Check same step 8.
15. Set the transmitter CHANNEL switch to 3.
16. Push the headphones tuning switch (S301) to receive radio
frequency.
17. Check same step 8.
