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.
