About the active noise-cancelling function
The product is designed to use its built-in microphone to pick up noise from the surrounding environment (noise from
vehicles, noise from air conditioners, etc.) and to cancel out that noise by producing sounds in negative phase. This
results in a reduction in the sounds in your environment.
• The product’s noise-cancelling function mainly reduces noises of 300 Hz or lower. Because of this, it has almost no
  effect on noises above that frequency (ringtones, speaking voices, etc.).
• Not all sounds are cancelled.
• Depending on the type of noise (or in quiet locations), you may not notice the noise-cancelling effect.
• There is a “humming” sound when you turn on the noise-cancelling function. This is the sound of the noise-cancelling
  function operating; it is not a malfunction.
• The noise-cancelling effect may vary or a bleep (howling) may occur depending on how you wear the product. In
  these cases, take off the product and put it on again correctly.
• When you use the product in a train or a vehicle such as a bus or a truck, noise may be heard depending on rail/
  street conditions.

However, you need to pair again in the following cases:
• If the product is deleted from the Bluetooth device’s connection history
• If the product is sent out for repair
• If 9 or more devices are paired
  (This product can save the pairing information of up to 8 devices. If you attempt to pair a new device when 8 devices
  have already been paired, the pairing information of the new device will overwrite the information of the device within
  the 8 paired devices that has the oldest date and time for connection to the product.)



 Pairing a Bluetooth device
• Read the user manual for the Bluetooth device.
• Place the Bluetooth device within 1 m (3.3’) of the product to pair correctly.
• To confirm the progress of the pairing process, wear the product while performing this procedure and listen for the
  confirmation tone.
1. Starting with the product turned off, turn the power switch on.
   • The multi-indicator lamp will light in white and then flash in white.
2. Use your Bluetooth device to begin the pairing process and search for the
   product.
   When your Bluetooth device finds the product, “ATH-ANC900BT” will be
   displayed on the device.                                                                               12:00        100%

Using the product

 Using ambience control

The product features the ambience control reducing or capturing the ambient sound,
such as the noise-cancelling function (hereinafter referred to as noise-cancelling) or
hear-through function (hereinafter referred to as hear-through).
You can turn the noise-cancelling function on or off by covering the 3 points on the
touch panel with your palm when the power of the product is on as shown in the
figure.

Noise-cancelling is on -> Hear-through is on -> Off

• The status will be back to "Noise-cancelling is on" after "Off".
• "Noise-cancelling is on" is the factory default settings.
• When using the ambience control, the function indicator lamp lights as shown
  below.
  Lit in green: noise-cancelling is on / hear-through is on
  Unlit: noise-cancelling and hear-through is off




Noise-cancelling
The built-in microphones pick up the noise around you, allowing the product to produce a sound-cancelling signal to
effectively reduce the noise. The noise-cancelling function turns on automatically when you turn on the power to the
product for the first time.
• There is a difference in volume depending on whether the noise-cancelling function is on or off.


Hear-through
In the hear-through mode of the product, the ambient sound is audible through the built-in microphone even with the
headphones on.
• The ambient sound may at times be hard to discern depending on the volume of the music you are playing. In that
  case, turn down the volume of the music.
• Even in the hear-through mode of the product, the ambient sound may be less audible due to the ambient
  environment. Do not use the product in an area where it might be dangerous if the ambient sound is hard to discern,
  such as places with a lot of traffic.
• With the hear-through mode on, the volume of music automatically turns down to capture the ambient sound.

Troubleshooting

  SBC priority connections (for when sound is delayed significantly)
When the connection codec is AAC, significant sound delays can be alleviated by changing the connection codec to SBC,
which comes standard with Bluetooth devices.*1


Connecting to an SBC priority connection

When the pairing with a Bluetooth device has been completed
1. Turn on the product.
2. With music or video paused, cover the 3 points on the touch panel with your palm
   as shown in the figure. Continue touching the touch panel even after the noise-
   cancelling function turns on or off (keep your hand in place for about 5 seconds).
   • Once the multi-indicator lamp has flashed in white 2 times, the multi-indicator
     lamp will begin to flash as follows: a quick, white light followed by a 3-second
     interval, indicating the settings are complete.
   • After the settings are complete, the Bluetooth device that was paired will be
     automatically connected.*2



Before pairing with a Bluetooth device
1. Turn on the product.
2. With the multi-indicator lamp showing the searching for device status, cover the 3 points on the touch panel with
   your palm as shown in the figure. Continue touching the touch panel even after the noise-cancelling function turns on
   or off (keep your hand in place for about 5 seconds).
   • The multi-indicator lamp will turn off and then light in white. After that, it will switch to flashing in white.
3. While the multi-indicator lamp continues to flash in this manner (two white flashes followed by a 0.5-second interval),
   refer to steps 2 and 3 in “Pairing a Bluetooth device” (p. 7) to perform the pairing operation.
    • The multi-indicator lamp will flash (a single, quick white flash followed by a 3-second interval) when the settings are
      complete.
    • After pairing via an SBC priority connection is complete, the only available connection codec will be SBC.
      Connections using other codecs will not be possible.
    • For details about the multi-indicator lamp’s flashing and lit displays, refer to “Multi-indicator lamp
      display” (p. 17).*3

*1 Depending on the usage environment, changing to an SBC priority connection may not alleviate sound delays.
*2 If the product does not connect automatically, refer to “Pairing a Bluetooth device” (p. 7), and do the procedures for pairing again.
*3 Turning the power off and then back on will result in a return to a normal connection and will enable connections using other codecs.
   Perform the operations for an SBC priority connection each time it is necessary.
