Tips  
Be careful when turning on the  
headphones volume control.  
Before placing the headphones over  
your ears, set the volume control to  
minimum, then slowly increase until you  
reach a comfortable level.  
Some plasma TVs generate IR signals  
that can be picked up by the  
The X3 may be used for listening to  
other audio sources, such as the output  
of your TV, the output of your PC sound  
card, an MP3 player, home theater  
system, etc.  
To make sure that you can easily  
control Xbox Live chat volume, please  
make sure that the following settings  
are configured on your Xbox (These are  
the default Xbox settings).  
1. When the headphones are powered  
on, you can hear yourself speak into the  
mic, which is a good way to test if the  
headphones have shut down to save  
battery power.  
headphones as a background "buzz" or  
"crackling". This is not unique to the X3  
headphones--all analog IR headphones  
exhibit this problem with plasma TVs.  
The noise is usually noticeable when  
there is no audio playing through the  
Xbox, such as when the game menu is  
displayed or just before the game begins.  
Once the game sound starts playing, the  
X3 IR signal overpowers the interference  
so it's significantly reduced or  
®
For example, the illustration below  
shows how to connect the X3 to the  
output of a home theater system. In this  
case, the transmitter audio input would  
be connected to the stereo line output  
on the home theater receiver. In some  
systems, this would be the recording  
line output, typically used for a cassette  
recorder, while on other systems it  
would be a pre-amplifier line output.

your unit for details.

Be sure to change the batteries if you

distorting, regardless of volume settings.

2. Navigate to the "Personal Settings"  
selection, and press the "A" button on  
your controller.  
Do not over-drive the headphones.

decreases as you move further away  
from the screen, the noise may be more  
noticeable if your TV is located in a small  
room. Also, if the X3 transmitter is placed  
too low, too high or too far to the side of  
the plasma screen, its IR signal will be  
reduced because it's not in direct line-of-  
sight with the headphones. As a result,  
the plasma IR interference may be  
stronger than the X3 signal, causing the  
background noise to occur.  
The volume control on the X3 transmitter  
should be set to maximum and the  
volume control on the headphone  
should be adjusted to a comfortable  
level. If the sound is distorted because  
the audio source output is too loud, then  
the volume control on the transmitter  
should be reduced to a lower level that  
better accommodates the source  
volume.  
4. On the Voice screen, make sure that  
"Play Through Headset" is selected for  
Voice Output selection and that volume  
is set to 10 (see below).  
WARNING: Long term exposure to  
loud music or other sounds in  
headphones may cause hearing  
damage. It is best to avoid extreme  
volume levels when using headphones,  
especially for extended periods. Over  
time, your ears adapt to the volume  
level, so a level that may not cause  
initial discomfort might still damage  
your hearing.  
4. If you stand too close to the  
transmitter, the IR signal may overload  
the headphones and the sound will be  
automatically muted. For best  
performance, stand between 2' and 20'  
from the transmitter.

5. You can fine tune game audio and  
chat volumes using the X3 amplifier and  
chat volume controls.
