How to use
Tips for charging
Charge supplied battery first
The supplied rechargeable nickel-metal hydride battery is
not charged from the first time you use it. Be sure to
charge them before use.
About auto charge function
Placing the headphones on the transmitter automatically
turns them off, then charging starts. This eliminates the
need for turning on/off every time you wear and take off
the headphones.
If CHARGE/RED indicator does not
light up red
– Check if the right and left headphones are rested on the
transmitter correctly. Take off the headphones and place
them on the transmitter again so that the headphones’
contact points meet the transmitter’s contact pins.
– Charging may not be completed if the transmitter’s
contact pin and headphones’ contact point are dusty.
Wipe them with a cotton bud, etc.

– Be sure to use the supplied AC adaptor. Using AC
adaptors with different plug polarity or other
characteristics can cause product failure.
Unified
polarity plug
– The battery capacity may decrease if the headphones
are turned on and placed on the transmitter with the AC
adaptor disconnected.
– The transmitter automatically turns off while charging
the headphones.
– This system is designed to charge only the supplied
rechargeable battery BP-HP800-11 for safety. Note that
other types of rechargeable battery cannot be charged
with this system.
– If dry batteries are installed, they cannot be charged.
– Do not attempt to use the supplied rechargeable battery
BP-HP800-11 for other components. It is for use with this
system only.
– Charge in an environmental temperature of between
5 °C and 35 °C.
– When the battery life reduces to half, this may be the
end of battery lifetime. The supplied rechargeable
battery BP-HP800-11 is not commercially available. You
can order the battery from the store where you
purchased this system, or at your nearest Sony dealer.
– Do not touch the contact pins of the transmitter. If the
contact pins become dirty, charging may not be
possible.
– Charging may not be completed if the transmitter’s
contact pins and headphones’ contact points are dusty.
Wipe them with a cotton bud, etc.
Using the headphones
with separately-sold dry
batteries
Commercially available (LR03 (size AAA)) dry batteries can
also be used to power the headphones. Install two
batteries in the same manner as described in step 1 of

Note
Do not carry a dry battery together with coins or other
metallic objects. It can generate heat if the positive and
negative terminals of the battery are accidentally come
into contact with metallic objects.
Tips for connection
– When you connect the stereo mini cable (stereo mini
jack) directly to an earphone jack (monaural mini jack),
the audio signal may not be output through the right
channel.
Tips for volume setting
– If you connect the transmitter to the headphone jack of
the A/V component, set the volume of the A/V
component as high as possible but not so high that the
audio signal becomes distorted.
– When watching videos, be careful not to raise the
volume too high in quiet scenes. You may hurt your ears
when a loud scene is played.
Tips for sound effect
Slide the switch to select the desired sound effect, OFF or
VOICE.

Notes
– The volume of the headphones may vary, depending on
the input signal and the setting of the EFFECT switch.
– The sound effect may not be obtained depending on
the input sound sources.
Tips for better reception
Receiving performance
This system utilizes very high frequency signals in the 800
MHz band so the receiving performance may deteriorate
due to the surroundings. The following examples illustrate
conditions that may reduce the reception range or cause
interference.
– Inside a building with walls containing steel beams
– An area with many steel file cabinets, etc.
– An area with many electrical appliances capable of
generating electromagnetic fields
– The transmitter is placed on a metal instrument.
– An area facing a roadway
– Noise or interfering signals exist in the surroundings due
to radio transceivers in trucks, etc.
– Noise or interfering signals exist in the surroundings
owing to wireless communication systems installed
along roadways.
Effective area of the transmitter
The optimum distance is up to approximately 100 m
without the system picking up some interference.
However, the distance may vary depending on the
surroundings and environment.
– If the system picks up some noise within the above
mentioned distance, reduce the distance between the
transmitter and the headphones, or select another
channel.
– When you use the headphones inside the effective area
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 spots) where the RF signal cannot be
received. This characteristic is inherent to RF signals, and
does not indicate malfunction. By slightly moving the
transmitter, location of the dead spot can be changed.
Replacing the earpads
The earpads are replaceable. If the earpads become dirty
or worn out, replace them as illustrated below. The
earpads are not commercially available. You can order
replacements from the store where you purchased this
system, or at your nearest Sony dealer.
1
Remove the old earpad by pulling it out of the groove
on the housing.
2
Fit the new earpad in the groove of the housing.
Make sure the earpad is set to the vertical position.
Precautions
– When this system is not to be used for a long period of
time, disconnect the AC adaptor from the AC outlet
holding the plug, and remove the battery from the
headphones to avoid damage caused by battery
leakage and subsequent corrosion.
– Do not leave this system in a location subject to direct
sunlight, heat or moisture.
– You may hear some noise when you disconnect the AC
adaptor from the transmitter before taking off the
headphones.
– Avoid exposure to temperature extremes, direct sunlight,
moisture, sand, dust or mechanical shock.
– Please note that water does not splash, this product is
not waterproof specification.
Notes on headphones
To reduce the risk of 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, lower 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
your nearest Sony dealer.
Be sure to bring the headphones and the transmitter to
the Sony dealer when requiring repair work.

About sending RF signals
The transmitter starts sending RF signals automatically
when it detects an audio signal from the connected
component. Note that;
– Noise may occur depending on the transmitter position
and room conditions. It is recommended to place the
transmitter in a location that produces the clearest
sound.
– If the transmitter is placed on a metallic table, you may
hear noise, or the reception range may decrease. Do
not place on a metallic table.
If no signal or low signal is input
for about 4 minutes
When no signal is input for about 4 minutes, the
transmitter turns off automatically*. The POWER indicator
of the transmitter blinks for 4 minutes, then turns off. The
transmitter restarts after receiving an audio signal again.
The transmitter may also turn off if low signal is input for
about 4 minutes. In this case, raise the volume of the
connected A/V component within the range where the
sound is not distorted, then lower the volume of the
headphones.
* If signal noise is output from the connected A/V
component, the transmitter may not turn off, even
when no audio signal is input.
