power turns off automatically. Do not
apply pressure to the left ear pad when
not using the headphones, otherwise the
headphones will be switched on.

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.
When no audio signal is received for
more than approximately five
minutes
The transmitter will be burned off
automatically.
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 130 feet (40m) 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 point) 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 point 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
housing 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.

Precautions
• When the headphones are not to be
used for a long period of time, remove
the dry batteries (if any) 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.
If you have any questions or problems
concerning the system that are not
covered in this manual, please consult
the nearest Sony dealer.
Be sure to bring the headphones and the
transmitter to the Sony dealer when
requiring repair work.
