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 headphones and the transmitter, sound may be interrupted. These phenomena are inherent to infrared ray communication and do not mean that there is a problem with the system itself.

•Do not cover the infrared sensors with your hands or hair.

•When you use the headphones inside the area in the illustration above, the transmitter can be placed in front, behind or by the side of you.

•The noise you may hear through the headphones may vary depending on the transmitter position and room conditions. It is recommended that you place the transmitter in a location that produces the clearest sound.

•Do not use this system in areas exposed to direct sunlight or strong light. The sound may be interrupted.

•Plasma displays may interfere with normal operation of this system.
