Compatible infrared headphones and informa‐
tion about supported headphones are available

not to interrupt the infrared connection between
the headphones and the infrared interface. This
means that no obstacle should come between
the two and that the cover of the infrared inter‐

favorable lighting conditions such as glare from
outside can interfere with reception.
