Operation

The procedure below is thesame for all UWP seriescomponents (UTX-B1/H1 andURX-P1/R1/M1).

1 Make all necessary connectionson the tuner.For examples of UWP seriescomponent connections, see“System Configurations” on page34.

2 Set the transmission channel onthe transmitter, and then turn offthe unit.For details on setting thetransmission channel, see “Settingthe transmission channel” onpage 28.

3 Turn on the tuner.The parameters that were in thedisplay section when the tunerwas last turned off appear again.

Note

Before turning on the tuner, turndown the volume of theequipment connected to the tuner.Otherwise, noise will be producedwhen the tuner is turned on.

4 Set the reception channel on thetuner.For details on setting thereception channel, see “Settingthe reception channel” on page29.

5 Turn on the transmitter.

If noise is heard

Depending on the environment wherethe UWP series components areinstalled, external noise or radiowaves may disrupt transmission oncertain channels.When selecting a channel under thesecircumstances, turn off the transmitter.Then, on the tuner, select a channel forwhich the RF indications do notappear in the display section or forwhich the RF indicator does not lightup (i.e., a channel free from noise orradio wave interference). Set the samechannel on the transmitter.

Note

To prevent interference or noise,please take the following precautions.• Do not use two or more transmitters

with the same wireless channels.• When operating two or more UWP

series simultaneously, set each seriesto a different channel within thesame channel group.

• Keep the reception antenna and thetransmitter separated more than 3meters (9 feet 11 inches).

• When operating two or more UWPseries simultaneously with the samechannel group, make sure that theyare at least 100 meters (330 feet)apart, but within clear sight of eachother. (The actual distance maydiffer depending on thecircumstances.)

Troubleshooting

If you have any problem using the UWP system, use the following checklist.Should any problem persist, consult your Sony dealer.

Symptom Meanings/Remedy

* Body-pack transmitter (UTX-B1)/hand-held microphone (UTX-H1)/portable diversity tuner(URX-P1) only.

The unit does not turn on*. The polarity orientation of the batteries in the batterycompartment is incorrect. b Insert the batteries withthe correct polarity orientation.

The batteries are exhausted. b Replace the batterieswith new ones.

The battery terminals in the transmitter are dirty. bClean the + and – terminals with a cotton swab.

The batteries become drainedquickly*.

The batteries are exhausted. b Replace the batterieswith new ones.

Manganese batteries are being used. b Use alkalinebatteries. The battery life of a manganese battery isless than half that of an alkaline battery.

The UWP series is being used under cold conditions.b The batteries drain quickly under cold conditions.

The channel cannot be changed. An attempt was made to change the channel bypressing the SET button only. b Restart the unit whileholding down the SET button. Then change thechannel with the + and – buttons.

There is no sound. The channel setting on the transmitter is different fromthat on the tuner. b Use the same channel setting onboth the transmitter and tuner.

The RF indications (RF indicator) on the tuner do notappear at all (or does not turn on). b Confirm that thetransmitter is turned on.

The sound is weak. The attenuation level on the transmitter is too high. bThe output level of the transmitter is low. Press the +button on the transmitter in attenuation level settingmode to decrease the attenuation level.

The volume on the amplifier or mixer is low. b Adjustthe volume.

39

Symptom Meanings/Remedy

There is distortion in the sound. The attenuation level of the transmitter is too low. bThe input level of the tuner is extremely high. Pressthe – button on the transmitter in attenuation levelsetting mode to raise the attenuation level.

The transmitter and the tuner are set to differentchannels. b Set the transmitter to the same channel.

There is sound interruption ornoise.

The RF indications on the tuner appear (the RFindicator lights up) even when the transmitter is off. bJamming radio waves are being received. Determinewhich channels are usable (i.e., channels for whichthe RF indications on the tuner do not appear (or forwhich the RF indicator on the tuner does not light up)and set the tuner and transmitter to the same usablechannel. When two or more transmitters are usedsimultaneously, use another channel group that isunaffected by jamming radio waves.

The transmitter and the tuner are set to differentchannels. b Set the transmitter to the same channel.

Two or more transmitters are set to the same channel.b Set each transmitter to a different channel.

The transmitters are not set to the channels within thesame channel group. b The channel plan which theUWP series components use is set so that no signalinterference occurs when 2 to 12 transmitters areused simultaneously. Set each transmitter to adifferent channel within the same channel group.
