Using the AI Noise

Canceling function

The AI Noise Canceling function analyzes environmental

ambient sound components and automatically selects the

most effective noise canceling mode.

When you press the AINC button while the POWER switch

is set to “ON,” beep sounds and the headphones start the

analysis. During the analysis (approx. 3 seconds), the POWER

indicator blinks, and the volume level is reduced from the

headphones.

When the analysis is completed, the most effective noise

canceling mode is selected and the volume level is revert to

the previous level.

Noise canceling mode types

NC Mode A: Noise mainly in an airplane is effectively

reduced.

NC Mode B: Noise mainly in a bus or a train is effectively

reduced.

NC Mode C: Noise mainly found in an office environment

(PC, copier, air ventilation, etc.) is effectively

reduced.

Tips

When the headphones are turned on, NC Mode A is set.

Press the AINC button again to reset the noise canceling

mode if ambient noise has changed, such as when you

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.

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.

When you use the headphones in a train or a car, noise

may occur depending on street conditions.

Howling may occur if you do not wear the headphones

correctly.

Howling may occur if you place an object such as finger

close to inside of the headphones. Keep it away from the

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.

Notes on handling

To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug, not the

cord. Otherwise the cord may break.

When connecting the cord, make sure to fully insert the

plug. If the plug is not fully inserted, no sound may result.

Because the headphones are designed to fit closely in your

ears, forcing them against your ears may result in eardrum

damage. Avoid using the headphones where they are

liable to be struck by people or other objects, such as a

ball, etc.

Pressing the headphones against your ears may produce a

diaphragm click sound. This is not a malfunction.

Clean the headphones with a soft dry cloth.

Do not leave the plug dirty otherwise the sound may be

distorted.

Be sure to consult a Sony dealer when the earpads

become dirty or damaged, or when the headphones

require repair work.

Do not leave the headphones in a location subject to

direct sunlight, heat or moisture.

Do not subject the headphones to excessive shock.

Handle the driver units carefully.

If you feel drowsy or sick while using this headphones,

stop use immediately.

Notes on headphones

High volume may affect your hearing. For traffic

safety, do not use while driving or cycling.

As headphones reduce outside sounds, they may cause a

traffic accident. Also, avoid listening with your headphones

in situations where hearing must not be impaired, for

example, a railroad crossing, a construction site, etc.

Note on static electricity

In particularly dry air conditions, noise or sound skipping

may occur, or mild tingling may be felt on your ears. This is a

result of static electricity accumulated in the body, and not a

malfunction of the headphones.

The effect can be minimized by wearing clothes made from

natural materials.

If you have any questions or problems concerning the

system that are not covered in this manual, please consult

the nearest Sony dealer.

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.

Distorted sound

Turn down the volume of the connected equipment.
