About the Window Displays in This
User’s Guide
The window displays that appear in this guide may differ
from those on your PC, due to differences in the operating
system being used.
Features
The Wireless Studio software supplied with the
DWR-R01D/DWR-R02D Digital Wireless Receiver
(herein referred to as the “receivers”) allows you monitor
and control a digital wireless system via a network.
The digital wireless system can be accessed from up to six
computers.
Wireless Studio has the following features.
Device monitoring
The software includes a status viewer for monitoring the
operation statuses of the receivers, RMU-01 Remote
Control Units, and transmitters.
The status viewer allows you to monitor a list of
information that is identical to the information that appears
on the initial display of the receiver.
Channel plan selection function
Select a channel plan that is suitable for your signal
environment to ensure stable operations.
Channel Plan Adviser allows you to select a channel plan
while taking into account factors such as other TV
broadcast waves (that you researched beforehand),
frequencies used by other wireless devices in the area, and
frequencies detected via the channel scan.
Error logging function
The software automatically saves log files of problems that
occur during operation. You can review the error histories
at a later time by using a text editor to view the stored log
files.
Device control function
The software allows you to control the receivers and the
transmitters that are paired with the receivers. Control
operations are performed from the Property window and
the Property List tab.
The Property window allows you to control a single
receiver and its paired transmitter while viewing their
operation statuses.
The Property List tab allows you to display the settings of
multiple receivers and transmitters in a list, and perform
fast control operations such as applying the same settings
to all the devices simultaneously.
Recalling stored settings and monitoring
information
Information such as the setting values of devices and the
arrangement of devices in the status viewer can be saved
as a file.
You can recall such information in Wireless Studio at a
later time by loading these stored files.
The setting values recalled in Wireless Studio can be
applied to all the devices.

5
Preparing the Software and Devices
Pairing-assist function
The software includes a pairing wizard to assist in pairing,
an operation that is necessary to enable remote control of
transmitters via wireless remote control.
Save and analyze functions for signal
environment timelines
The RF Chart Grapher function allows you to monitor and
save the signal environment and alert information on a
timeline, and the RF Chart Analyzer function allows you
to reference the files saved with the RF Chart Grapher.

Preparing the Software and Devices
Connecting to the Network
By using the straight LAN cables, connect the receiver,
RMU-01, and the PC through the hub. When the network
connection is correctly made, the LED on the LAN
connector area at the rear of the receiver lights up green.
Connect the devices required for system operation to the
rear panel of the receiver.
For details on connecting devices, refer to the Operating
Instructnions supplied with the receiver.
• If the LED on the LAN connector area at the rear of the
receiver does not light up green, check the connection.
• For connections, use a category 5 or superior LAN cable
with a maximum length of 100 m (330 ft). If the
connection requires a total cable length exceeding 100 m
(330 ft), use a hub between the PC and the device.
• Use the cross cables when directly connecting the PC
and the devices.
• Do not touch the LAN connector directly with your
hands. The transfer of static electricity may result in
malfunction of the unit. As static electricity can
discharge from your body and clothes, be sure to remove
any static electricity before connecting or disconnecting
the LAN cable.

Receivers that are added to the device list are
automatically registered to the “All tuners” page of the
status viewer where they can then be monitored.
For more information on window contents, see “Status
Viewer and Meter Icons” on page 21.
The Windows firewall or your security software’s
firewall may prevent devices from being detected
automatically. If the devices are not detected
automatically, disable the firewall settings.
To monitor a particular set of receiver channels
Display a page in the status viewer other than the “All
tuners” page, and register receiver channels manually to
monitor only the receiver channels that you select.
To display a receiver channel in the status viewer, drag the
receiver channel selected in the device list and drop it in
the status viewer, or right-click the receiver channel and
select “Add to Status Viewer” in the context menu that
appears.
Device Detection and Monitoring (page 11)
Locate the receivers and RMU-01 units on the network, and
enable monitoring for these devices. This operation is
necessary for the pairing and device control operations that
follow.
Selecting Channel Plans (page 13)
Scan the signal environment using the channel scan
function of the receiver, and view the results while selecting
the channel plan.
Pairing Receiver Channels and Transmitters (page 14)
Pairing is necessary to enable control of the transmitters via
wireless remote control. Use the pairing wizard in Wireless
Studio to pair receivers and transmitters.
Controlling Devices (page 15)
Perform device controls from the Property window and the

are built into that receiver are selected.
• When you click and drag on the background area, all of
the receiver channels within the dragged area are
selected.
• When you click receiver channels while holding down
the Shift key or Ctrl key, all of the clicked receiver
channels are selected.
To set devices to be excluded from automatic detection
Use the Omit IP address list window (see page 34).
If Problems Occur during Monitoring
See the following table to remedy the problem.
Problem Cause Remedy
The receiver is
not recognized.
The host name or IP
address is already
assigned to another
device.
Check the host
name or IP
address settings.
It takes long
until the
receiver is
recognized.
If the network has a PC
that is connected to a
broadband router or the
Internet, it may take
several minutes to
recognize the receiver.
Construct a
separate
network apart
from the one
containing the
PC with the
broadband
router or the
Internet
connection.
In the dialog
box indicating
the receiver

field.
If your PC is equipped
with or connected to a
modem or ISDN router,
the Wireless Studio
software may not
function properly when
you start it up when
either of the conditions
described below exist.
This is because the PC
will attempt to detect
device through the
modem or router.
• The receiver is turned
off.
• The LAN cable is
disconnected.
Turn on the
receiver and
make sure the
LAN cable is
connected.
The receiver is

Using Settings Files
Wireless Studio allows you to save device settings as files.
By recalling the settings stored in a file and applying them
to devices using the “Load settings” function, you can
reuse previously configured settings.
After recalling settings from a file, you can also edit the
setting values in Wireless Studio without connecting to the
devices on the network. You can create new system
configurations that are based on previous setting
environments by applying the settings edited in Wireless
Studio to the devices.
The following items are stored in a settings file.
• Setting values for each device that appears in the device
list.
• Positions of meter icons registered in the status viewer.
• Omit IP address list settings
