Basic operations
Selecting a better reception channel
When the playback sound is noisy, you can 
choose one of the other two channels to 
transmit signals on the base station.
•  The white noise may come out when 
switching the channel. Take off the 
headphones when switching the channel.
1  Slide the CHANNEL 
selector on the back side of 
the base station to select another 
channel.
2  Press AUTO SCAN on the 
headphones to tune in to 
the new channel.
3 Repeat Steps 1 and 2 to select the 
best channel.
Listening area
The headphones can receive the FM signal 
of the base station 100 m away from it at 
maximum (when no interference or obstacles 
exist between them). But the receivable 
range becomes shorter or reception quality 
becomes poorer in the following cases:
–  In places such as reinforced concrete 
buildings
–  Obstacles such as steel-reinforced doors 
exist between the base station and 
headphones
–  Items such as metal furniture are situated 
nearby
–  In places facing a street
–  Noise or interference sources exist nearby 
(e.g. mobile ham, radio stations, high-
voltage power lines, a microwave oven, 
cordless phones, cellular phones, etc.)

Troubleshooting
Symptom Cause/Remedy
No sound comes out at all. •  Turns on the power of the headphones.
•  Start playback on the AV equipment connected to the base 
station.
•  Check the connection between the base station and the AV 
equipment.
•  Turns up the volume of the headphones or the connected AV 
equipment to an appropriate level.
•  Fully charge the headphones’ battery. 
No sound comes out from 
R-channel.•  Check the connection between the base station and the AV 
equipment.
•  Sound comes out only of L-channel when the base station is 
connected to the monaural audio output. Convert the mini 
plug to the base station from stereo to monaural with the plug 
adaptor (not supplied).
Sound is distorted. •  The headphones’ battery will soon run out. Fully charge the 
battery.
•  The volume of the headphones and/or the connected AV 
equipment is too high. Adjust their volume to an appropriate 
level.
Sound is noisy. •  The headphones’ battery will soon run out. Fully charge the 
battery.
•  Switch the base station channel to another and press AUTO 
SCAN on the headphones.
•  The volume of the connected AV equipment is too low. Adjust 
the volume as high as possible without causing distortion.
•  Too far from the base station. Use the headphones within the 
range of the base station (see page 8). 
Cannot charge the battery. •  Check the contact of the charging terminals on the base station 
and the headphones.
•  Check the polarity of the battery.
•  The cycle life of the battery ended. Replace with the new 
battery (see page 6). What appears to be trouble is not always serious. Check the following points before calling a service 
center.
