❖When the product is unplugged , DRC is restored to the default setting value.

Q) What do " Dolby Digital" and " PL" mean?
▲ FAQ & Troubleshooting
A) “Dolby Digital” means Dolby Digital which supports up to 5.1 channels (center,
front left, front right, subwoofer, rear left, rear right) of discrete surround sound.
When the sources (movie, music or game) outputs a Dolby Digital bitstream, the AON
decoder detects this and reproduces the sound through the six speakers of the AON
headphones.
A) “PL” means Dolby Pro Logic, which decodes a 2-channel signal into 4 channels.
(center, front left, front right, rear). When the source is 2-channel, the AON decoder
uses Dolby Pro Logic to expand the sound to play through the four speakers of the
AON headphone. A two-channel Dolby Digital bitstream can also be expanded to four
channels using Dolby Pro Logic.
A) The status LED’s on the front panel show which type of decoding is active.
Q) “I can’t hear any sound from headphone after correct connecting the system when
my game console is ON. What is wrong?”
A) Please check the optical cable and headphone cable are stably connected.
A) Please check the decoder is ON.
A) Please check the volume of decoder and all other connected devices is at proper
level.
Q) Can two people use this AON system at the same time?
A) Yes. you can plug another AON headphone into one decoder, but you have to buy
one more headphone additionally.
Q) I have a different type of optical terminal at my device, from enclosed optical cable.
What can I do?
A) In case your device has min- optical terminal, you need to purchase toslink-mini
optical converting jack.
❖Please always use the power adapter in AON package or use the another power
adapter which has the same specification, when lost.
