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.
