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 minites, 
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.

Start playback of the A/V component.

Wear the headphones.

Before listening

To reduce the risk of hearing damage, first lower the volume.

If the sound is distorted by connecting the transmitter to the A/V component’s audio out (L/R) jacks, reconnect the transmitter to the headphone jack.
If the transmitter detects no signal or no sound, check the connection of the connected A/V components, then check the audio setting of the connected A/V components.
