Battery life

* at 1 kHz, 1 mW + 1 mW output

Notes on batteries

To avoid damage to the system caused

by battery leakage and corrosion;

– Install the batteries with the correct

polarity.

– Remove the batteries if the system is

not to be used for a long period of

time.

In case of battery leakage, wipe off any

deposit in the battery compartments

before installing new batteries.

Check the remaining power of the

headphones’ battery

Pull up the self adjusting band, and

check that the headphones’ power

indicator lights in red.

Install a new dry battery, if the power

indicator light is weak or turned off and

the sound become distorted or has a lot

of noise.

( Operating the system

Listening to a

program

1 Select the radio frequency with the

CHANNEL selector switch.

2 Turn on the audio/video equipment.

3 Put on the headphones and the

power turns on automatically.

4 Turn up the volume to a moderate

level with the VOL control, then

tune the headphones to the

transmitte frequency with the

TUNING control until you can hear

the audio signal loud and clear.

Try the above steps 1 and 4 until the

receiving performance becomes better.

Sending RF signals from the Transmitter

The transmitter starts sending the RF

signals automatically, when it detects

audio signals from the equipments

connected.

If it does not detect an audio signal for

more than approximately five minutes,

the transmitter will stop sending RF

signals.

But the Power indicator remains lighting

as long as the AC power adaptor is

connected. When the transmitter

receives an audio signal again, it starts

sending the RF signals.

If the audio signal is very weak, the

transmitter does not send RF signals

automatically. In this case, make sure

the volume of the equipments connected

is set to 5 – 6.

You may not hear the beginning of the

sound from the headphones until the

transmitter starts sending the RF signals

after detecting an audio signal.

Note

If the transmitter is connected to the headphones

jack of the source equipment, set the volume of

that equipment as high as possible without

distorting the audio signal.

Auto power on/off function

When you remove the headphones, 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. The power turns off.

Mute function

If a hissing noise is heard when 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 near toward the transmitter.

After listening to a program

Take the headphones off before turning

off the transmitter. If you turn off the

transmitter first, you may hear some

noise.

The effective areas

of the transmitter

The optimum distance is up to

approximately 150 feet (46 m) without

the system picking up some interference.

However, the distance may vary

according to the surroundings and

environment. If the system picks up

some noise while using it within the

above mentioned distance, reduce the

distance between the transmitter unit

and the headphones, or select the other

channel.

Notes

• When you use the headphones inside the effective areas

of the transmitter, the transmitter can be placed in any

direction from the listener.

• Even within the signal reception area, there are some

spots (dead spot) where the RF signal can not be

received. This characteristics is inherent to RF signals,

and does not indicate malfunction. By slightly moving

the transmitter, location of the dead spot can be

changed.

Replacing the ear pads

When the ear pads become dirty or

damaged, you can get replacements

from your Sony dealer. Replace them as

illustrated below.

1 Remove the old ear pad by pulling it

out of the groove on the housing.

2 Place the new ear pad on the driver

unit and insert the edge of the pad

into the groove as illustrated.

Make sure that the entire edge of the ear

pad is securely inserted into the groove.

( Additional information

Precautions

• When the headphones are not to be

used for a long period of time, remove

the batteries to avoid damage caused

by battery leakage and subsequent

corrosion.

• When the transmitter is not to be used

for a long period of time, disconnect

the AC power adaptor from the AC

outlet holding the plug. Do not pull

on the cord.

Also remove the batteries to avoid

damage caused by battery leakage and

subsequent corrosion.

• Do not leave the wireless stereo

headphone system in a location subject

to direct sunlight, heat or moisture.

Notes on headphones

Preventing hearing damage

Avoid using headphones at high

volume. Hearing experts advise against

continuous, loud and extended play. If

you experience a ringing in your ears,

reduce the volume or discontinue use.

Caring for others

Keep the volume at a moderate level.

This will allow you to hear outside

sounds and to be considerate to the

people around you.

b To connect to LINE OUT or REC OUT

jacks

c To connect to TV, etc.

If noise occurs when the transmitter is

connected to the headphone jack of

your TV or VCR, set the NOISE

FILTER switch to ON.

Notes

•If you connect the transmitter to LINE OUT

or REC OUT jack, do not set the NOISE

FILTER switch to ON. Otherwise, the

volume will be limited.

•The NOISE FILTER switch effects the sound

only in cases such as connection diagram c.

In diagrams a and b, the switch has no

effect.

•When the transmitter is placed on or near a

TV, it may pick up a noise. In such case,

place the transmitter away from the TV.

2 Connect the transmitter to an AC

outlet using the supplied AC power

adaptor.

If you connect the AC power

adaptor, power of the transmitter

will be turned on.

Notes

• Use only the supplied AC power adaptor. Do not use

any other AC power adaptor.

Polarity of the plug

• When you connect the connecting cord directly to an

earphone jack, the audio signal will not be output

through the right channel. In such a case, use the

separately sold PC-236HG plug adaptor.

• If the connected equipment has the AVLS (Automatic

Volume Limiter System) function, be sure to turn the

function off when using the transmitter. Otherwise, you

will have to turn up the volume of the headphones, and

that may cause noise.

• Do not place the transmitter near a fluorescent lamp, etc.

when using the system.

high frequency signals in the 900 MHz band

so the receiving performance may deteriorate

due to the surroundings. The following

examples illustrate conditions that may

reduce the possible receiving range or cause

interference with reception.

• Inside a building with walls containing

steel beams.

• Area with many steel file cabinets, etc.

• Area with many electrical appliances

capable of generating electromagnetic

noise.

• Transmitter is placed on a metal

instrument.

• Area facing roadways.

• Noise or interfering signals exist in the

surroundings due to radio transceivers in

trucks, etc.

• Noise or interfering signals exist in the

surroundings due to wireless

communication systems installed along

roadways.
