Notes on use
What is noise canceling?
The noise canceling circuit actually senses outside noise
with built-in microphones and sends an equal-but-opposite
canceling signal to the headphones.
Notes on the noise canceling function
– Adjust the earpads so that they cover your ears, otherwise
noise canceling will not function properly.
– The noise canceling effect may vary depending on how
you wear the headphones.
– Do not cover the microphone of the headphones with
your hands. The noise canceling function may not work
properly.
Noise mainly in an airplane is effectively
reduced.
Noise mainly in a bus or a train is effectively
reduced.
Noise mainly found in an office environment
(PC, copier, air ventilation, etc.) is effectively
reduced.
Microphone
– After you turn on the power of the headphones, you may
hear a slight hiss. This is the operating sound of the noise
canceling function, not a malfunction.
– The noise canceling function works for noise in the low
frequency band primarily. Although noise is reduced, it is
not canceled completely.
– The noise canceling effect may not be pronounced in a
very quiet environment, or some noise may be heard.
Beep sound POWER indicator – When you use the headphones in a train or a car, noise
may occur depending on street conditions.
No beep Lights off
– Howling may occur if you do not wear the headphones

close to inside of the headphones. Keep it away from the
(2 seconds) (30 seconds) headphones.
– Mobile phones may cause interference and noise. Should
this occur, locate the headphones further away from the
mobile phone.
Notes on using on the airplane
Do not use the headphones when use of electronic
equipment is prohibited or when use of personal
headphones for in-flight entertainment services is
prohibited.
Troubleshooting
No sound
– Replace the battery with a new one.
You can use the headphones even without turning on the
power. In this case, the noise canceling function, Digital
Equalizer and S-Master are not active, and the headphones
operate as passive headphones.
– Check the connection of the headphones and the
equipment.
– Check that the connected equipment is turned on.
– Turn up the volume of the connected equipment.
The noise canceling effect is not sufficient
– The noise canceling function is effective in low frequency
ranges such as airplanes, trains, or offices (near air-
conditioning, etc.) and is not as effective for higher
frequencies, such as human voices.
– Turn on the headphones.
