Placement of transmitter and headphones
  Playing DTS signals    Select the DTS audio signal on the connected equipment.
  ●  A DTS compatible DVD player is necessary to play DVD discs recorded in DTS. (Refer to your DVD player’s 
operating instructions for further details.)
  ●  If “OFF” has been selected for the DVD player’s DTS digital setting, sound may not be output even when DTS 
output is selected in the DVD menu.
  ●  When connecting a DVD player and this unit with an analog connection, sound may not be output. Change to 
a digital connection if this happens.
  ●  There may be some noise emitted during functions such as rewinding and fast forwarding with a DTS format 
DVD. This does not indicate a problem with the unit.
Audio cable (mini pin plug) (not included)Use the audio cable (stereo mini plug to 2-pin plug) or similar to connect the transmitter’s LINE IN terminal to a 
stereo mini headphone jack on the television or portable AV equipment. If the output level from the television 
or portable AV equipment is set to low, there may be unwanted noise. Set the volume so the sound is not 
distorted.
Connecting analog equipment
Use an audio cable when connecting the AUDIO OUT terminals of a video cassette player, television etc. to the 
transmitter’s LINE IN (L/R) terminal.
  ATT Control   When the sound is low with an analog connection, switch the ATT (attenuator) control on the Transmitter’s rear 
panel to [0 dB].
  The range of the radio waves   The radio waves have a maximum range of 30 m (98.4 ft.) from the transmitter.
   The most appropriate frequency is automatically set when the headphones are taken off the transmitter. When 
the headphones are used outside the range of the radio waves or the radio waves weaken, the sound is 
broken. Move nearer to the transmitter or reset the frequency (
 page 14 [Setting the most appropriate 
frequency]).
  ●  Since this unit is using the 2.4 GHz radio frequency band, obstacles (such as reinforced concrete walls 
and metal doors) may cause the sound to be broken. This is a characteristic of radio waves and not a 
malfunction.
  ●  The sound heard from the headphones will differ depending on where the transmitter is placed and the kind 
of location in which it is used. We recommend placing the transmitter where the sound is received best.
  ●  The sound may be broken when the unit is used at the same time as other equipment that uses the 2.4 GHz 
radio frequency band such as wireless equipment or microwaves.
  Locations
    Avoid placing the unit in the following locations
      -  Places with high temperatures such as near heating appliances or places directly exposed to sunlight
      -  Places with a lot of dust
      -  On top of unstable carts or inclined surfaces
   - Places with excessive vibration
      -  Bathrooms and other moisture-prone places
AT T
0dB –8dB
This unit uses radio waves to transmit the signals so it is recommended to use the headphones within the range 
of the radio waves.
Note
●  Reduce the volume before switching the ATT control.
●  If the analog sound input is distorted (there may also be noise), switch 
the ATT control to [-8 dB].

Listening caution
Selecting fi ne audio equipment such as the unit 
you’ve just purchased is only the start of your musical 
enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how you can 
maximize the fun and excitement your equipment 
offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries 
Association’s Consumer Electronics Group want you 
to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at 
a safe level. One that lets the sound come through 
loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion-
and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive 
hearing.
We recommend that you avoid prolonged exposure to 
excessive noise.Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing 
“comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound. So 
what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful 
to your hearing.
Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe 
level BEFORE your hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
● Start your volume control at a low setting.
●  Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it 
comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound 
level:
● Set the dial and leave it there.
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent 
hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we want 
you listening for a lifetime.

Note
●  When watching movies, be careful not to turn up the volume too high during quiet scenes. The movie may 
suddenly switch to a very noisy scene and you could damage your ears if the volume is raised too high.
● Avoid listening for prolonged periods of time to prevent hearing damage.
● Be sure to use the headphones within the range of the radio waves.
●  Discontinue use if you experience discomfort. Continued use may cause rashes or other allergic reactions.
Note
With dual sound sources (MAIN/SUB), select the desired sound 
on the player or television connected through the LINE IN 
terminal.  Time required for mode changes   The actual time required for the unit to change to a particular mode after it has been selected using the slide 
switch on the transmitter, may vary between individual modes. This is due to different internal systems being 
used to change to different modes.
  DECODE MODE lamp l   The transmitter automatically distinguishes the recording method of the input signal and this lamp lights as 
shown below. When switching to DOLBY DIGITAL/DTS and so on, do so on the connected equipment e.g. the 
DVD player.
  ● DOLBY DIGITAL: Signals recorded in DOLBY DIGITAL format.
  ●  DOLBY PRO LOGIC II: Analog input signals, digital input signals (PCM 2-channel signals) and DOLBY 
DIGITAL 2-channel signals treated as DOLBY PRO LOGIC II. (Select “OFF” in SURROUND MODE (
 
page 14) to stop this).
  ● DTS: Signals recorded in DTS format.
  ●  MPEG-2 AAC: One of the audio compression formats defi ned by the MPEG-2 standard. Advanced audio 
coding is used for the sound in digital televisions.
For your reference
When any function other than [PLAY] - such as fast-forward or rewind - is selected on the equipment connected 
using the DIGITAL IN terminal, the DECODE MODE lamp may not light correctly. If [PLAY] is selected, it will 
however light correctly.
  When you are unable to hear any sound from the headphones
 (MUTING function) 
   If the headphones are used outside the range of the radio waves or the radio waves weaken, reception will 
decline and the MUTING function will come on. No sound will then be heard from the headphones. If this 
happens, move nearer to the transmitter and the MUTING function will automatically switch off. If the sound 
is still broken, reset the headphones to the most appropriate frequency.(
 page 14 [Setting the most 
appropriate frequency])
  If no audio signal is received at the transmitter for more than 
approximately 5 minutes
   The radio waves being emitted from the transmitter automatically stop and the transmitter’s OPR/CHARGE 
lamp goes out. The radio waves start being emitted again when an audio signal is received. When the input 
audio (analog only) continues to be very low for more than 5 minutes (approximately), the radio waves being 
emitted from the transmitter may stop. If this happens, increase the volume level on the connected equipment 
and decrease the volume level on the headphones.
   If a noise signal is input from equipment connected by the LINE IN terminal, the output of radio waves may not 
stop.
5Start play on the equipment selected in step 2.
●  The OPR/CHARGE lamp h on the transmitter will light 
green and radio waves will be emitted. The most appropriate 
frequency is automatically set.
●  The DECODE MODE lamp l glows approximately 5 seconds 
later depending on the signal sent from the connected 
equipment.
6Use [VOL] to adjust the volume.
●  The volume is the same as when the headphones were 
previously used.
●  The volume will keep changing while the [VOL] control is 
pushed to either side.
