The transmitters are located next to the DVD
faceplate. If you move too far forward or step out

seems excessive, make sure that the headphone
batteries are fully charged. Some amount of
hissing is normal.

foam ear pads that can be replaced.
Foam ear pads on these headphones may become
worn or damaged. The headphone foam ear pads
can become damaged if they are not handled or
