General information Benefits of Philips latest cordless technology Cordless transmission The IR transmitter transmits the stereo audio signal from your audio or video source to your IR headphone without wires. Wide transmission range Your IR headphone can receive signals up to a maximum of 7 meters away.The headphone however needs to be within the line of sight of the transmitter. Easy transmission High frequency IR waves carry the audio signal to ensure clear and sharp reception. Multiple headphones with one transmitter An additional number of headphones can be used with a single transmitter if they operate on the same frequency. Please consult the appliance’s electrical specification sheets for confirmation on compatibility.

English SHC2000_booklet SHC2000_booklet 12-01-2006 11:05 Pagina 6 Installation English Headphone power supply IMPORTANT Only use R03/AAA NiMH batteries (preferably Philips). 1 Check if the power button of the IR headphone is in the on position. 2 Ensure the batteries are put in the battery compartment correctly according to the engraved polarity symbols. 3 To recharge the headphone’s rechargeable R03/AAA NiMH batteries, first switch off the headphone.Then connect the charge cable between the headphone and the transmitter (figure 3).The recharging indicator will light up. Audio Connections Headphone battery replacement (figure 4) IMPORTANT Only use R03/AAA NiMH batteries (preferably Philips). 1 Open the headphone’s battery compartment. 2 Take out the batteries and dispose of them properly. 3 Insert new batteries. Only use R03/AAA NiMH batteries (preferably Philips). 4 Make sure the batteries are correctly inserted as indicated by the engraved symbols in the battery compartment. 5 Close the battery compartment. Note: Completely flat batteries need approximately 16 hours to recharge. Always remove the batteries if the headphone is not to be used for a long period of time. Batteries contain chemical substances, so they should be disposed of properly.

IMPORTANT Before using the IR headphone for the first time, please ensure that the batteries are fully charged for about 16 hours.This will guarantee a longer operating lifetime of the batteries. SHC2000_booklet 12-01-2006 11:05 Pagina 7 Audio Connections Connecting the IR transmitter to a headphone output of an audio source (figure 5) 1 Connect the 3.5mm stereo plug of the stereo audio cable to the headphone output of an audio source, such as TV, HiFi or PC. – In case your audio source has a 6.3mm headphone output, use the supplied 3.5mm to 6.3 mm stereo adapter plug. Basic operation When the IR transmitter is connected to a headphone output of an audio source. 1 Switch on your IR transmitter and place it at the same height or slightly higher than the reception height of the IR headphone. 2 Position the LED’s towards the listening area, ensuring that there are no obstacles in between transmitter and headphone. 3 Switch on the headphone. 2 Switch on your audio source and carefully increase the volume of the audio source. 4 Switch on your audio source and carefully increase the volume of the audio source. 3 Switch on the headphone. 5 Adjust the volume of the IR headphone to the desired level with the headphone volume control. 4 Adjust the volume to the desired level with the headphone volume control. English Audio Connections IMPORTANT Because IR light travels in a straight line, place the IR transmitter at the same height, or slightly higher than the reception height of the IR headphone. High IR light content such as sunlight and bright incandescent indoor lighting may degrade the audio signal and cause interference. If you experience such problems, simply move the system to a darker area.

WARNING: Under no circumstances should you try to repair the set yourself, as this

would invalidate the warranty.

Problem Remedy No sound – Check if the AC/DC adapter is fully inserted into the AC outlet and that its DC connector is properly inserted into the 12 Volt DC input connector located at the rear of the transmitter. – Check if the headphone’s on/off switch is in the on position. – Headphone batteries running low. (See Headphone power supply) – Check if the audio source is switched on. – Volume not adjusted. Adjust the volume on the audio source/ headphone to a higher level. – Make use of the SHC2000 transmitter. Some transmitters already built into other equipment may not be compatible with the SHC2000 headphone because of the advanced technologies used in the SHC2000 headphone. Distorted sound – Headphone batteries running low. (See Headphone power supply) – Check the volume on audio source/ headphone is not set at too high a level. Reduce the volume. – Distance from the transmitter is too large. Move closer to the transmitter. – Interference from fluorescent lamps/ other radio sources. Move transmitter or headphone elsewhere. – Make use of the SHC2000 transmitter. Some transmitters already built into other equipment may not be compatible with the SHC2000 headphone because of the advanced technologies used in the SHC2000 headphone. 12-01-2006 11:05 Pagina 9 Troubleshooting Maintenance Specifications – If the headphone will not be used for a longer time, please remove the batteries to prevent leakage and corrosion. – Only replace the batteries with R03/AAA NiMH batteries (preferably Philips). – Do not leave the headphone near heat sources.
