Notes

This system utilizes infrared rays for communication so noise (hissing) can be heard in the headphones as you move farther away from the transmitter. The sound will also cutoff and noise occur if the infrared rays are blocked. These are characteristics of infrared ray communication and do not indicate an equipment breakdown.

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 diagram, the transmitter can be placed in the front, behind or by the side of the listener.

The sound you hear varies according to your position and the transmitter position. Try finding a position which yields the best sound.
