Grasp the plug to connect or disconnect the cable. Be sure that the ends of the optical digital connecting cable are kept clean. Dust at the ends of the cable can degrade performance. When storing the system, attach the cap to the end of the plug and be careful not to fold or bend the optical digital connecting cable with a bend radius less than 25 mm (1 inch). The bend radius of the optical digital connecting cable should be no less than 25 mm (1 inch). 25 mm (1 inch) Connecting the processor to analog components Use an audio cord (sold separately) to connect the audio output jacks on a VCR, TV, or other component to the LINE IN (L/R) jacks on the processor. Processor To LINE IN jacks Audio left (L, white) To audio output jacks Audio left (white) VCR, TV, or other component Audio right (R, red) Audio cord (sold separately) Audio right (red) Connecting cables (sold separately) Use the connecting cable (stereo mini-plug pin plug 2) when connecting a stereo mini-jack (headphones jack, etc. ) to the LINE IN jacks. In this case, set the volume on the player at a medium level. Noise can occur if the volume on the player is set too low. (Continued) Connection 15GB Setting the input level If the volume is low using the analog input, set the ATT (attenuator) switch to "0 dB. " ATT 0dB -8dB Setting 0 dB ­8 dB Notes Connected components TV, portable components, and other components with a low output level Other components (initial settings) Be sure to lower the volume before setting the ATT switch. If audio input to the LINE IN jacks is distorted (sometimes, noise can be heard at the same time), set the ATT switch to "­8 dB. " 16GB Connection Operation Listening to a Connected Component Before starting, be sure to read "Connecting the Headphone System" (pages 14 to 16) and make the proper connections. 1 Turn on the component connected to the processor. BD/DVD device, digital satellite/ TV receiver, GAME device, or other audio or video component POWER 2 Remove the headphones from the processor. The processor automatically detects the optimum frequency for transmission according to your room conditions. Then the Decode Mode indicator lights up, depending on the audio signal input from the connected audio or video component. Signal transmission system This unit employs a proprietary transmission system using 2. 4 GHz frequency. You can enjoy non-compressed sound with this wireless system. (Continued) Operation 17GB 3 Put on the headphones. Press the POWER button for 2 seconds to turn on the headphones, the power indicator lights up in green. Be sure to match the right and left side of the headphones with your ears. Adjust the headphones band to fit your ears. There is a tactile dot on the left housing to distinguish the left side. Tactile dot Power indicator Note Use the headphones within the signal transmission range (page 22). 4 Slide the INPUT switch to select the component you want to listen to. INPUT DIGITAL ANALOG Position of switch DIGITAL ANALOG Selected sound source Sound of the component connected to DIGITAL IN jack. Sound of the component connected to LINE IN jacks.

[. . . ] If not, put the headphones on the processor correctly so that the charging indicator turns on. The processor's contact pin and headphones' contact point are dusty. Wipe them with a cotton bud, etc. The charging indicator blinks. The battery cannot be charged. You are attempting to charge the battery in an environment outside the recommended temperature range of between 5°C and 35°C (between 41°F and 95°F). You cannot charge while the charging indicator flashes. Charge in an environmental temperature of between 5°C and 35°C (between 41°F and 95°F). (Continued) Additional Information 27GB Symptom Other devices (wireless LAN, cordless phone, etc. ) using 2. 4 GHz frequency around the processor become unusable The signal transmission range is short (sound is interrupted) Cause and remedy If the wireless LAN uses the 2. 4 GHz frequency, change the channel. If possible, use 5 GHz. Keep the processor more than 2 m away from other devices (wireless LAN, cordless phone, etc. ) using the 2. 4 GHz frequency. If there is a device with a wireless LAN function, other wireless device, or a device that generates electromagnetic waves such as, for example, in a location where a microwave oven is used, use the system away from that device. Orient the antenna of the headphones toward the antenna of the processor, and make sure the signal is not blocked by an obstacle (page 22). Install the processor at a different location or position, or change the place in which you listen with the headphones. If the processor is installed at the back of a rack, install it outside of the rack. [. . . ]
