Troubleshooting

If you have any problem, use the following checklist before asking for repairs. If the problem persists, contact your Sony 
service representative.

Symptom

Cause

Solution

The unit does not turn 
on.

The unit is not correctly inserted into the slot of the 
camcorder or the wireless adapter.

Insert the unit until it is firmly and completely in, 
and then secure it with the mounting screws.

There is no sound.

The channel setting on the transmitter is different 
from that on the receiver.

Use the same channel setting on both the 
transmitter and receiver.

The compander mode setting on the transmitter is 
different from that on the receiver.

Use the same compander mode setting on both 
the transmitter and receiver.

When the receiver is attached to a wireless 
adapter, the setting of the sync signal is not 
appropriate. 

Using the sync signal selection (SYNC SOURCE) 
function, set the sync signal to INTERNAL.
When an external sync signal is used, confirm the 
connection of the sync signal, and set to AUTO or 
EXTERNAL.

The sound is 
distorted.

The channel setting on the transmitter is different 
from that on the receiver.

Use the same channel setting on both the 
transmitter and receiver.

The compander mode setting on the transmitter is 
different from that on the receiver.

Use the same compander mode setting on both 
the transmitter and receiver.

There is sound 
interruption or noise.

The channel setting on the transmitter is different 
from that on the receiver.

Use the same channel setting on both the 
transmitter and receiver.

Two or more transmitters are set to the same 
channel.

Two or more transmitters cannot be used on the 
same channel. Refer to the frequency list stored 
on the supplied CD-ROM, and reconfigure the 
channel on each transmitter.

The transmitters are not set to the channels within 
the same channel group.

The channel plan is set so that no signal 
interference occurs when two or more transmitters 
are used simultaneously. Set each transmitter to a 
different channel within the same channel group.

Adjacent channels are being used.

Use the channels separated by at least two 
channels (250 kHz).

Jamming radio waves are being received.

Set the channel on the receiver to a channel for 
which the RF indicator does not light, or use the 
Clear Channel Scan function to switch to a 
channel without interference. Then, set the 
transmitter to the same channel as the receiver.
If using two or more transmitters, change to a 
channel group that is not affected.

The squelch function is set to OFF.

Set the squelch function to ON 

(page 7)

.

The RF indicator on 
the receiver lights up 
even when the 
transmitter is off.

Jamming radio waves are being received.

Set the channel on the receiver to a channel for 
which the RF indicator does not light, or use the 
Clear Channel Scan function to switch to a 
channel without interference. Then, set the 
transmitter to the same channel as the receiver.
If using two or more transmitters, change to a 
channel group that is not affected.

The transmitter 
channel cannot be set 
with infrared 
transmission.

The infrared receptor on the transmitter is too far 
from the infrared transmission port on the receiver.

Reduce the distance between the infrared receptor 
on the transmitter and the infrared transmission 
port on the receiver to within about 20 cm (8 in.).

Interference from infrared communications 
between other devices or from direct sunlight is 
present.

The transmitting distance is reduced when 
interference from strong sunlight, for example, is 
present. Place the transmitter and receiver as 
close to each other as possible.
