Panasonic RPWF6000 Selecting the surround field, Maintenance, Troubleshooting guide

Listening to audio from equipment connected to the transmitter

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.
