To avoid potential damage to the device, always disconnect all cables before transporting it

WARNING: Permanent hearing damage can occur if a headset is used at high volumes for extended periods of time, so it is important

to keep the volume at a safe level. Over time, your ears adapt to loud volume levels, so a level that may not cause initial discomfort can still damage your hearing. If you are uncomfortable hearing in your ears after listening with the headsets, it means the volume is not too loud.

The lowe the volume is, the less time it takes to affect your hearing. So, please take care to listen or moderate levels

• Before placing a headset on your ears, turn the volume down completely.
  then slowly increase it to a comfortable level.
  Turn down the volume if you can't hear people speaking near you.
• Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.

Xbox 360 Does Not Have Digital Output

Oleer Xbox 360 models don't include an digital optical output. If this is the case with your Xbox 360, then you will have to purchase a cable that includes a digital output jack on the connector. Here are the Xbox 360 cables that support digital output:

• Component AV cable

VGA AV cable
S-Video AV cable
Advanced SCARTAV cable
HDMI audio adapter cable

• Compa nse R/V cane with digital output

If you are using #DMI and your Xbox A/V cable does not have a digital output, then you can alternatively connect the DSS2 digital optical cable to a digital audio output on your HDTV (if your HDTV has a digital optical output).

No Audio When Using a BluRay Player

Ensure the audio settings in the BluRay player are configured to play Dolby Digital. The DSS2 is not DTS compatible. If the DSS2 is connected to a digital source with a DTS signal, then the DSS2 will not receive audio.

No Sound When Using a Digital Connection

Ensure the digital cable is connected properly and receiving a signal. When connected to a console, PC, etc., that is powered on, carefully check to see if a red light is being emitted from the end of the digital optical cable. Also be sure that the protective covers have been removed from the ends of the digital optical cable.

No Surround Sound on PC

Most games will not output Dolby 5.1 unless your computer is running Dolby Digital Live. You will hear enhanced audio stereo unless Dolby Digital Live is installed.

Analog Input isn't Working

The DSS2 analog input will automatically shut off whenever the digital input is active. To hear the analog input signal, either disconnect the optical cable from the digital input on the DSS2, shut off the device connected to the optical cable (e.g. Xbox 360) to disable the digital audio signal, or connect to the auxiliary input.
