tion about supported headphones are available

tant not to interrupt the infrared connection
between the headphones and the infrared in‐
terface. This means that no obstacle should
come between the two and that the cover of
the infrared interface should not be covered or
scratched. Unfavorable lighting conditions
such as glare from outside can interfere with
reception.
