Operation via two size AA batteries The unit will operate for 5 hours on two size AA alkaline batteries. Nickel metal hydride and lithium batteries can also be used. Features The URX-P03D UHF Synthesized Diversity Tuner is a two-channel portable wireless tuner. In combination with a compact camcorder or interchangeable-lens digital camera, the unit can be used for various purposes, such as ENG (Electronic News Gathering), EFP (Electronic Field Production), sports events, and weddings.
Indicator display Status Parts Identification Flashing (red) Charging not possible (when batteries other than rechargeable nickel metal hydride batteries are inserted or the nickel metal hydride batteries are deteriorated) Front Note Disconnect the USB cable, and replace the batteries. Off Power is off or battery is empty c RF (radio frequency) indicators Indicate the RF input level of tuner 1 and tuner 2.
E RF level meter Indicates the RF input level. The number of segments that light up depends on the input level. 6 segments lit: 60 dBµ or higher 5 segments lit: 50 to 60 dBµ 4 segments lit: 40 to 50 dBµ 3 segments lit: 30 to 40 dBµ 2 segments lit: 20 to 30 dBµ 1 segment lit: 10 to 20 dBµ All segments off: 10 dBµ or less n USB connector (Micro B type) Connect to a commercially available USB portable power supply.
Power Supply The unit operates from two AA batteries (alkaline, nickel metal hydride, or lithium batteries), power supplied from a supply connected to the USB connector, or power supplied from the auxiliary connector. The power supply that has precedence when both AA battery power and an external power supply via the USB connector or auxiliary connector are available can be specified using the PWR SOURCE (external power selection) function.
• Battery power is gradually consumed, even when the unit is turned off. Remove the batteries from the unit before prolonged periods of disuse. Notes • Charging may not be supported, depending on the connected AC adapter, portable power supply, computer port, or rechargeable batteries. • Nickel metal hydride batteries are not charged while the unit is turned on. For details on the BATTERY function setting, see “Setting the battery type (BATTERY)” (page 14).
Attaching the shoe mount adapter Attaching Accessories Attach the belt clip before attaching the shoe mount adapter. Connecting the conversion cable to the OUTPUT connector Note Attach belt clips upside-down if planning to attach the shoe mount adapter. Example: XLR-BMP conversion output cable For a secure connection, turn to lock the connector.
Notes Settings • If there is no user input within 10 seconds after the channel group display or channel number display starts flashing, the displayed setting that is flashing is saved. The same applies when setting other parameters. • The frequency indicator changes in response to the channel number. • The unit continues to receive, even when setting the receive channel. • If the power supply cuts off while you are configuring settings, perform the configuration procedure again from the beginning.
The search for available channels finishes and the displayed channel is set. Notes • When operating in conjunction with UWP-D series transmitters, set the transmitters to the same compander mode. • No audio will be output if the tone signal frequency is different due to inconsistencies in compander mode settings configured on the devices being used together. Searching for Active Channels within a Group (Active Channel Scan) You can search for channels in use within the specified channel group.
Using the Infrared Communication Function When operating in conjunction with UWP-D series transmitters, the frequency and compander mode settings configured on the unit can be sent and applied to the transmitter using the infrared communication function. 6 Note This function cannot be used when operating in conjunction with UWP or WRT series transmitters. This sets the transmit channel and compander mode.
Menu Displays and Detailed Settings Menu Structure and Hierarchy 7 Use the + or – button to select “YES,” then press the SET button on the transmitter. Menu structure UTILITY menu You can display the UTILITY menu from the meter screen which displays information on tuners 1 and 2. This menu allows you to configure basic settings for the unit. This sets the transmit channel and compander mode.
Setting the audio output level (OUT LEVEL) Basic Menu Operations Sets the audio output level. You can set the level in 3 dB increments in the range –12 dB to +12 dB. The factory default setting is 0 dB. Menu name Function name Note The monitor output level does not change when you change the output level in OUT LEVEL. The monitor output level is adjusted separately. For details about adjusting the monitor audio level, see “Adjusting the Monitor Audio Level” (page 12).
Setting the battery type (BATTERY) For details, see “Searching for available channels and configuring the channel settings via infrared communication (AUTO SET)” (page 11). You can set the type of battery being used in order to provide a more accurate battery level indication. TYPE1: Recommended setting when using alkaline LR6 (size AA) batteries. Indicates the battery level based on the characteristics of new Sony alkaline LR6 (size AA) batteries.
EXT.IN Menu Error Messages This menu allows you to configure settings for the microphone connected to the unit’s external input connector. When a problem occurs, one of the following error messages may appear on the display. Selecting the external microphone type (MIC SELECT) Select which type of microphone is connected to the external input connector. OFF: Select this when not using an external microphone. PLUG-IN PWR: Select this when using a plug-in power microphone.
