Notes on receiving performance
Connecting cord (supplied)
•When you use the speaker system 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 cannot be received. This is a characteristic inherent to RF signals, and does not indicate malfunction. By slightly moving the transmitter, location of the dead spot can be changed.
If it does not detect an audio signal for more than approximately four minutes, the transmitter will stop sending RF signals, and the power indicator turns off.
When the transmitter receives an audio signal again, it starts sending the RF signals, and the power indicator will light in red again.
If the audio signal is very weak, the transmitter does not send RF signals. If the transmitter is

• Do not carry the speaker unit by its reflector. If |
you do so, the speaker system may detach from |

Notes
•If a hissing noise is heard, move it closer to the transmitter.
•If you turn up the volume of the speaker system too high, the light of the reflector may flicker. But this is not a malfunction.
•If you hold the antenna of the transmitter with your hand, noise may occur. But this is not a malfunction.
Because this speaker system is magnetically shielded, you can set it up near a monitor. But depending on the model of the monitor, color irregularity may occur.
To correct the color irregularTurn off the monitor, and then turn it on again after 15 to 30 minutes.If color irregularity remains after performing the above•Separate the monitor and the speaker system.•Make sure that no magnetic object, such as may be attached to a door of shelf, healthcare device or toys, etc., is located near the speaker system.
If you have any questions or problems concerning the system that are not covered in this manual, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
Be sure to bring the speaker system and the transmitter to the Sony dealer when requiring repair work.
