Sony MDR-NC6 - Manual

Folding the headphones
The driver units rotate to make them flat for easy storage in the carring case (supplied) or a seat
pocket.
Precautions
The headphones contain a noise canceling circuit.
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.
• The noise canceling effect may not be pronounced in a very quiet environment, or some noise
may be heard. In such a case, turn the POWER switch off.
• When you turn the POWER switch on, the operation sound of the noise canceling may be
noticeable. This is not a malfunction.
• The noise canceling function is only effective for noise in the low frequency band. Although
noise is reduced, it is not canceled completely.
• When you use the headphones in a train or a car, noise may occur depending on street
conditions. In such a case, turn the POWER switch off.
Notes on usage
• 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.
• The CE mark on the unit is valid only for products marketed in the European Union.
• Do not leave the stereo headphones in a location subject to direct sunlight, heat or moisture.
Notes on headphones
Preventing hearing damage
Avoid using headphones at high volume. Hearing experts advise against continuous, loud and
extended play. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the volume or discontinue use.
Do not listen with the headphones while driving or
cycling
As your headphones reduce outside sounds, it may cause traffic accident. Also avoid using
them where hearing must not be impaired, for example, at a railroad crossing, a site of
construction, etc.
Troubleshooting
No sound
• Check the connection of the headphones and the AV equipment.
• Check that the connected AV equipment is turned on.
• Turn up the volume of the connected AV equipment.
Muffled sound
• Turn down the volume of the connected AV equipment.
• Replace the battery.
Power does not turn on
• Check if the battery has expired (the POWER indicator dims). Replace the battery with a new
one.
Howling
• If you cover the microphone of the headphones with your hands, howling may occur.
In this case, move your hands away from the microphone.

Caractéristiques
• Casque anti-bruit réduisant les bruits ambiants et offrant un environnement plus silencieux
pour profiter pleinement des sons. Les sons ambiants sont synthétisés, puis réduits grâce à un
signal anti-bruit généré par le circuit anti-bruit. (Obtention d’une réduction de plus de 10 dB
à 300 Hz.)
• Pliage astucieux par pivotement des transducteurs facilitant le transport et le rangement.
• Utilisation d’aimants néodymes pour produire des sons puissants.
• Casque fonctionnant comme un casque d’écoute passif lorsque le circuit anti-bruit est
désactivé.
• Adaptateur de fiche fourni pour un raccordement direct à la prise stéréo ou double des
appareils audio disponibles à bord de certains avions.
Installation de la pile

Ouvrez le couvercle du logement de la pile situé sur le côté intérieur droit du
casque d’écoute.
2 Insérez une pile R03 (taille AAA) en faisant correspondre les pôles e et E de
la pile avec les repères e et E du logement de la pile.
3 Refermez le couvercle.

ce manuel, contactez votre revendeur Sony le plus proche.
Une fois l’écoute de musique terminée
Mettez le casque d’écoute hors tension.
Remarques
• La fonction anti-bruit est efficace uniquement pour les bruits à basses fréquences. Bien que
les bruits soient réduits, ils ne disparaissent pas complètement.
• Ne masquez pas le microphone du casque d’écoute avec vos mains. Sinon, il est possible que
la fonction anti-bruit ne fonctionne pas correctement.
• Si vous masquez le microphone du casque d’écoute avec vos mains, une réaction acoustique
peut se produire.
En pareil cas, écartez vos mains du microphone.
• L’effet anti-bruit peut varier selon la façon dont vous portez le casque d’écoute.
• Vous pouvez utiliser le casque sans le mettre sous tension. La fonction anti-bruit est alors
inactive et le casque passif.
