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.

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.
