Placement of transmitter and headphones This unit uses radio waves to transmit the signals so use the headphones within the range of the radio waves. The range of the radio waves Connecting analogue 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. Transmitter To the AUDIO OUT Video cassette terminals player AUDIO-L (L, white) To LINE IN terminal AUDIO-L (L, white) AUDIO-R (R, red) Television Audio cable (not included) Audio cable (mini pin plug) (not included) AUDIO-R (R, red) Portable AV equipment The radio waves have a maximum range of 30 m 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 16 [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 Headphone terminal etc. Audio cable (mini pin plug) (not included)

RQT8811 RQT8811 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.

Listening to audio from equipment connected to the transmitter

Turn on the equipment connected to the transmitter. Select the signal with [INPUT SELECT]. DIGITAL 1: To hear sound from equipment connected to the transmitter’s DIGITAL IN 1 terminal. DIGITAL 2: To hear sound from equipment connected to the transmitter’s DIGITAL IN 2 terminal. ANALOG: To hear sound from equipment connected to the transmitter’s LINE IN terminal. Note

With dual sound sources (MAIN/SUB), select the desired sound on the player or television connected through the LINE IN terminal. Take the headphones off the transmitter. Put the headphones down onto your head. Make sure that the headphones are facing so that the right housing (R) goes over the right ear and the left housing (L) over the left ear. Then put the headphones straight down onto your head. Doing this will ensure that the auto power on/off function page 10) works correctly. ● The OPR lamp j on the right housing k glows red and the power automatically turns on. Start 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. Use [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. m To increase the volume n To decrease the volume Refer to page 16 for information about the SURROUND effects.

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. For your reference ● If you disconnect the AC adaptor from the transmitter before taking off the headphones, there may be static noises. ● The actual location of the sound may be difficult to recognize with music and audio only sources such as music CDs. ● This unit simulates the average person’s HRTF*. However individual differences in human’s HRTF mean that the effect of this system will vary between individuals.

• An abbreviation for Head Related Transfer Function. 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. 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: Analogue 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 16) to stop this). ● DTS: Signals recorded in DTS format. ● MPEG-2 AAC: One of the audio compression formats defined 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 16 [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 (analogue 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. RQT8811 Before using the transmitter, read [Connections] ( correctly.

If the sound is broken or noisy when the headphones are in use (Setting the most appropriate frequency) The sound may be broken or noisy if the headphones are used outside the range of the radio waves or if the reception becomes poor due to the interference from other wireless equipment using the 2.4 GHz radio frequency band, a microwave etc. Perform the following steps to manually reset the appropriate frequency for transmitting. Press [ID/TUNING] on the transmitter once. ● The ID/TUNING lamp on the transmitter glows green, the transmitter changes the frequency and then radio waves start being transmitted. ● The headphones will automatically detect the emitted frequency and noise and sound distortion will stop. When the noise or sound distortion does not stop Repeat the above step until the most appropriate frequency is set. ● This may not solve the problem if the headphones are being affected by a digital cordless telephone or other device. In this case, moving the transmitter and the headphones as far as possible from the digital cordless telephone or other device may stop the noise or sound distortion. Selecting the surround field Press [SURROUND] to select the desired surround mode. Each time the button is pressed ● The SURROUND lamp for the selected mode will come on. ● This will go off, if “OFF” is selected. ● If the AC adaptor is disconnected and then connected, CINEMA is automatically selected.
