(Operating the system

Listening to a

program

1Turn on the audio/video

equipment connected to the

transmitter.

When the audio signals is input,

the transmitter turns on

automatically and the infrared

emitters glow. If the transmitter is

connected to the headphone jack,

set the volume control of the

audio source equipment as high

as possible but not so high that

the audio signal gets distorted.

(Around level 5 or 6 on the

volume control should be

appropriate.)

2Put on the headphones and the

power turns on automatically. The

power indicator glows red when

the power turns on.

3Adjust the volume.

Auto power on/off function

When you remove the headphones, the

power turns off automatically. Do not

pull up the self adjusting band when

not using the headphones, otherwise

the headphones will be switched on.

Mute function

If a hissing noise is heard when the

infrared rays are obstructed, or the

headphones are used outside of the

effective range (see the next section),

the mute function will be activated and

the sound will not be heard from the

headphones. To restore the sound,

move nearer toward the transmitter or

remove the obstruction.

When no audio signal is received at

the transmitter input for more than

approximately five minutes

The transmitter will be turned off

automatically.

After listening to a program

Take the headphones off before the

transmitter turns off. Otherwise you

may hear some noise when the infrared

rays are suddenly cut off.

Note

The infrared emitters light up when the

transmitter is turned on. The brightness of the

emitters may not be uniform, however, this is not

a malfunction.

The effective areas

of the transmitter

The illustration below shows the

approximate area covered by the

infrared rays emitted from the

transmitter.

Notes

•If you use the headphones at too great a

distance from the transmitter, you may hear a

hissing noise and if there is an object between

the receiver and the transmitter, the sound may

be interrupted. These phenomena are inherent

to infrared ray communication and do not

mean that there is a problem with the unit

itself.

•The infrared rays will not penetrate walls or

opaque glass, therefore, be sure to stay within

sight of the transmitter.

•When you use the headphones inside the area

illustrated in the diagrams, the transmitter can

be placed in the front, behind or by the side of

the listener.

Replacing the Ear

Pads

When the ear pads become dirty or

damaged, consult your nearest Sony

dealer and replace them as illustrated

below.

Remove the old

ear pad by

pulling it out.

Place the new ear

pad around the

driver unit as

illustrated.
