Notes:
1. Use transmitter with check and adjustment alreadycompleted.
2. On adjusting the headphones section, use the transmitter as a
jig.
Headphones:MDR-RF960R
Transmitter:TMR-RF960R
Procedure:
1. Connect an oscillator with attenuator and terminator (600 Ω)
to the transmitter AUDIO IN-B connector (J402).
2. Connect an AC adapter to the transmitter DC IN 9V jack
(J403).
3. Short between Q302 corrector and GND on the RX board.
4. Connect a DC 2.4V to the +B power line externally.
5. Connect lead wires to IC301 pin 4, pin 6, pin 7 and GND on
the RX-BASE board.
6. Connect a resistor 33k Ω between IC301 pin 4 and pin 7.
7. Connect lead wires to the speakers' terminals (L+,L-,R+,R-)
on the RX-BASE board.

3-5. Free Run Frequency Check and Adjustment

1. Set the transmitter AUDIO IN-B connector (J402) to no signal.
Note: In this case, operation time is about 5 or 10 minutes.
Perform confirmation for less than 5 minutes.
2. Check the transmitter power indicator (red) lights.
3. Set the transmitter CHANNEL switch to 1.
4. Connect DC 1.2V across TP (VT) and GND.
5. Connect a frequency counter to IC301 pin 4 and GND on the
RX-BASE board, then confirm the frequency within 76kHz
± 50Hz
6. When the frequency dose not satisfy the specified value, adjust
the value of the frequency counter to specification by RV301
on the RX-BASE board.
Specified values: 76kHz ± 50Hz.
7. Remove a 33 kΩ resister between IC301 pin 4 and pin 7.

3-6. Receive Frequency Check and Adjustment

1. Set the transmitter CHANNEL switch to 2.
2. Set the transmitter NOISE FILTER switch to OFF.
3. Input a signal of 1kHz, 316mVrms to transmitter AUDIO IN-
B(L-ch) connector only.
4. Keep distance between transmitter and headphones to 5 meters
over.
5. Set the headphones volume (RV302) to minimum.
6. Connect DC1.2V across TP (VT) and GND.
7. Connect an oscilloscope CH1 and CH2 to IC301 pin 6 and
pin 4.
8. Check the waveform of the oscilloscope to CH1 is demodulated
1kHz signal and CH2 is GND.
9. If CH1 and CH2 are not satisfied in step 8, adjust the coil (L301)
on the RX board to satisfied step 8.
10. Open between Q302 corrector and GND on the RX board.
11. Connect an oscilloscope to TP (VT).
12. When the transmitter off, check the waveform of the oscilloscope
as follows:

13. Set the transmitter CHANNEL switch to 1.
14. Push the headphones tuning switch (S301) to receive radio
frequency.
15. Check same step 8.
16. Set the transmitter CHANNEL switch to 3.
17. Push the headphones tuning switch (S301) to receive radio
frequency.
18. Check same step 8.

3-7. Carrier Modulation Check

1. Set the transmitter CHANNEL switch to 2.
2. Set the transmitter NOISE FILTER switch to OFF.
3. Input a signal of 1kHz, 316mVrms to transmitter AUDIO IN-
B (L-ch) connector only.
4. Set the headphones volume (RV302) to minimum.
5. Connect an oscilloscope CH1 and CH2 to IC301 pin 6 and
pin 4.
6. Push the headphone tuning switch (S301) to receive radio
frequency.
7. Check the waveform of the oscilloscope that the CH1 is
demodulated 1kHz signal and CH2 is GND.
8. Connect an AC voltmeter with LPF to IC301 pin 6 and GND.
9. Check the value of the AC voltmeter to 26mVrms ± 2mV.
