The transmitter and headset communicate via radio frequency (RF), so a direct line of sight is not required. The operating range is approximately 20 feet. When you're out of range, you may hear popping or clicking sounds if the headset loses the RF signal. For best performance, place the transmitter in an open area that is unobstructed by objects that might absorb RF signals from the internal antenna. Avoid placing it on a metal surface, such as the top of a home theater A/V receiver. WARNING: Permanent hearing damage may occur if a headset is used at high volumes for extended periods of time, so it is important to keep the volume at a safe level. Over time, your ears adapt to loud volume levels, so a level that may not cause initial discomfort may stil!

The top LED on the front of Using the Chat Boost feature the transmitter should be on solid when the headset and transmitter are communicating. If there's no sound, check the Troubleshooting Tips. Chat Boost is a dynamic talkback expander built into the X41 headset that automatically amplifies XBOX LIVE chat during loud moments in your game, so you can always hear your teammates, regardless of the game volume. To turn off the power, press and hold the power switch until the LED turns on. Once it's on, release the button and the power will turn off. Sound field with Dolby Headphone 7.4 Surround Sound processing Stereo sound field Typically, if you turn up the headset game volume, the chat sound level could become difficult to hear over the game sound. However, with Chat Boost, as the game audio increases, the chat volume also increases and the chat voices will keep up with the game level so you can hear what the online players are saying. When the game volume quiets down again, Chat Boost automatically returns the chat level to the lower volume setting. Automatic Power Shut-off To conserve batteries, the headset will turn off after several minutes if there's no sound or if the transmitter is turned off. In this case, the LED on the left ear cup will flash faster to indicate that it will soon shut off. The X41 uses Dolby Pro Logic IIx, Dolby Digital, and Dolby Headphone surround processing technologies, the industry-standard formats for encoding multi-channel game audio. Dolby Headphone processing recreates 7.1 channel surround sound using the X41 stereo headset so you can hear the sound all around you, as if you were listening to a 7.1 speaker system. Using an HDMI connection for video If your TV only uses an HDMI connection, you must still use an XBOX 360 AV cable to connect your X41 audio to the XBOX. This cable set is included with the Elite model and is also available from the official XBOX website: http://www.xbox.com/en-us/hardware/x/xbox360hdmiavcable/

2. Adjust the volume control on the talkback cable so you can hear the chat voices at a comfortable level. * When the digital input signal is active, the front panel digital LED turns on and the analog inputs are turned off. So you dont have to disconnect cables to switch between analog and digital sound sources. Pairing the X41 Headset a Transmitter 3. Turn up the headset game volume and the chat volume will increase whenever the game gets louder, just as if the talkback volume control is being automatically turned up along with the game level. Note that if the volume on the talkback cable is set too loud, Chat Boost might increase the volume so much that the voices will distort. If that happens, turn down the talkback volume on the talkback cable. The X41 has three volume contro! settings that interact in the following manner:
4 . * If the Bypass LED is on, Dolby processing is defeated and the signal will be heard as stereo. The headset and transmitter in this package are paired, which means they're synchronized to ensure they work together. When the headset and transmitter are communicating, the top LED on the front panel of the transmitter will be on solid, If this LED is instead slowly pulsing, it means the transmitter can't communicate with the headset. This could happen if the headset is turned off or out of range. If the LED is slowly pulsing when the headset is on and within range, then they might need to be paired as described below:
* If the digital input is a Dolby Digital 5.1 or 7.4 channel signal, the front pane! DD LED turns on and Dolby Headphone processes the channels to create surround sound in the headset.
* If the digital source is a Dolby Pro Logic IIx signal, both Dolby LEDs will turn on and Dolby Headphone creates PL IIx surround sound in the headset.
* If the digital input is stereo, the DD PL IIx LED turns on and the signal is processed by Dolby Headphone to create an expanded stereo sound in the headset. Stop 4:

Interference from Two Headsets Only one headset can be paired with the transmitter. If you pair two headsets with the same transmitter, they'll interfere with each other as they compete for the transmitter RF signal. This will cause one headset to shut off, and can be very confusing. So dont try to pair two headsets with the same transmitter!
volume will not be affected by this volume control. This volume control is only used when the analog inputs are being used (for example if you've connected your TV set to the transmitter) and in most cases it would be set to maximum. If you're using the transmitter analog inputs and hear distortion in the headset, the signal might be overloading the transmitter input. If that happens, turn down the transmitter volume control to reduce the analog input level until the distortion is corrected. Headset Game Volume Control (located on the headset) This sets the volume of the game sound transmitted to the headset. It has no effect on the XBOX LIVE chat volume, which is set independently as described below. If you're listening to an analog signal connected to the X41 transmitter (for example, if you've connected your TV to the transmitter), set the transmitter analog volume control as loud as possible for distortion-free sound and adjust the headset volume to a comfortable level. XBOX LIVE Chat Volume Control (located on the XBOX talkback cable) This controls the chat level heard in the headset during an XBOX LIVE gaming session. Set the chat level with this control and adjust the game sound level with the volume control on the headset. The volume control on the headset has no effect on the chat volume level, so even if you turn the game volume control all the way down, you'll still hear the chat signal if the chat volume control is turned up.
