How to Troubleshoot a Cordless Vantage Headset

PlayStation 3 online gaming requires a headset to not only hear the games your playing, but also to communicate with with other gamers. The Cordless Vantage by Logitech is designed specifically for PS3. Ordinarily, the headset will function well once paired to the gaming console; however, it may run into occasional problems that may diminish sound input and output. These problems are usually caused by power and synchronization issues; however, a few troubleshooting guidelines may restore the normal functions.
