Precautions
On operation
•The tuner must be used within a temperature range of
0°C to 40°C. Avoid using the tuner for extended
periods at extremely high temperatures or placing it
in direct sunlight, especially outdoors, because this
may damage the finish of the case. Never install the
tuner on or near a heat source, such as lighting
equipment or power amplifiers.
•Avoid using in very humid or dusty places, because
such use may shorten the life of the tuner.
•To avoid degradation of the signal-to-noise ratio, do
not use the tuner in noisy places or in locations
subject to vibration, such as the following:
– near electrical equipment, such as motors,
transformers or dimmers
– near air conditioning equipment or places subject
to direct air flow from an air conditioner
– near public address loudspeakers
– where adjacent equipment might knock against the
tuner
•Switching lights on or off may produce electrical
interference over the entire frequency range. Position
the tuner and the wireless microphones so that
interference is minimized.
•The tuner is precisely adjusted at the factory and no
adjustment before use is necessary. Do not touch the
inside of the tuner or try to repair it by yourself.
On cleaning
Clean the tuner with a dry, soft cloth. Never use
thinner, benzene, alcohol or any other chemicals, since
these may damage the finish.

above are stored in memory.
Automatic Search and Setting of
Available Channels
When you use the MB-806A Base Unit in a multi-
channel operation system, you can assign available
channels to all tuner units by operating the first tuner
unit only.
Note
Auto channel assignment function is available only
when the tuner base unit holds the tuner units in the
same TV channels.
1 Power off all wireless microphones and
transmitters.
2 On the first tuner unit, select the group to be used.
3
Press the CH button on the first tuner unit and hold
it down for 3 seconds.
The first tuner unit searches for available channels
in the selected group, and available channels in the
group are so assigned to all tuner units
automatically that two or more tuner units may not
use the same channel.
After automatic setting, you can adjust the groups
and channels of individual tuner units.
Notes
•Do not use group 00.
•If no channels are available, “NO CH” is displayed
and channel setting is aborted.
When using two MB-806A Base Units
When you use two base units, proceed as follows to
ensure that the two tuner units do not use the same
channel settings.
1 Follow the procedure explained above to set the
group and channel of the first base unit.
2 Power on the wireless microphones or transmitters
after adjusting them to the channels of each tuner
unit.
Note
If the microphones or transmitters are not powered
on, the two tuner units may use the same channel
twice.
3 On the first tuner unit of the second base unit, set
the same group as selected on the first base unit.
4 Press the CH button of the first tuner unit on the
second base unit and hold it down for 3 seconds.
Available channels in the same group (channels
not used by the first base unit) are automatically
set on the first tuner unit and the other tuner units
on the second base unit.
Note
If automatic channel setting dose not function well for
the second base unit (due to poor reception), set
channels manually for the second base unit.

Operation
1 Turn the POWER switch on.
Note
Turn the POWER switch on after reducing the
volume of the equipment connected to the TUNER
OUTPUT connector. Otherwise, noise will be
heard when the POWER switch is turned on.
2 Set the reception channel.
For details on setting the channels on the tuner, see
“Channel Setting” on page 8.
3 Turn on the wireless microphone or transmitter.
Use the wireless microphone or transmitter to
which the same channel is assigned as to the tuner.
If noise is heard
Depending on the environment where the system is
installed, outside noise or radio wave may disrupt the
transmission of certain channels.
To select a channel under this circumstance, turn off
the wireless microphone and transmitter. Then select a
channel at which the RF indicator is off. (A channel
free from noise or radio wave interference is selected.)
Set the same channel on the microphone or transmitter.
Note
To eliminate interference or noise, please note the
following.
•Do not use two or more wireless microphones or
transmitters whose wireless channels are the same.
•Separate the reception antennas and the transmitter by
more than 3 meters.
•The number of wireless microphone channels
actually usable in a multi-channel system may be
smaller than the normal capacity of that system if
there is interference from TV broadcasting or other
RF signals.
•When operating two or more UHF wireless
microphone systems using the same wireless channel
in the same group, ensure that the systems are at least
100 m
1)
apart as far as they are installed within sight
of each other.
1) The distance depends on the operating environment and
conditions.

Muting Functions
This tuner has the following three muting functions,
which work in combination.
(1) Muting by RF input level
As sufficient S/N for the audio output may not be
obtained if no RF signal is received or the RF input
level is low, the audio output can be muted when the
RF input level falls below the muting level.
(2) Tone squelch
The audio output is obtained only when the tuner
receives an RF signal which includes a specified tone
signal. The audio output is muted to eliminate noise
which may be heard when the transmitter is turned on/
off or the tuner receives an interference RF signal.
(3) Noise squelch
The audio output is muted to eliminate noise which
may be heard when there is such excessive
interference RF signal that the tone squelch does not
work.
To turn off the muting functions
While holding down the GP and CH buttons, turn the
POWER switch to ON. All indications momentarily
appear, then go off. “OFF” is then displayed. This
procedure cancels all three muting functions at the
same time.
To turn on the muting functions
Turn the POWER switch to OFF, then to ON again.
The three muting functions are activated at the same
time.

Overview of Channel Plan/Überblick über die Kanäle
Guidance on use of multi-channel system
This product is designed to give excellent interference
free operation in multi-channel systems. To maintain
this, Sony recommends that one of the original Sony
groups, number 01, 02, 03, 04, 13, L1, L2, M1 or M2
is selected.
These groups will offer excellent performance free
from mutual interference from other Sony wireless
microphone transmitters in the selected group when
used under the recommended operating conditions.
The remaining groups are included for compliance
with frequency regulations in various countries, and
will not always guarantee interference free operation.
Group 00 is used to scan for open channels, or to use
only for a one channel system.
Richtlinien für ein Mehrkanalsystem
Dieses Produkt wurde im Hinblick auf hervorragenden
interferenzfreien Betrieb in Mehrkanalsystemen
entwickelt. Deshalb empfehlen wir, eine der Sony-
Kanalgruppen.
Nummer 01, 02, 03, 04, 13, L1, L2, M1 oder M2
auszuwählen.
Bei diesen Gruppen erzielen Sie eine außerordentliche
Leistung ohne gegenseitige interferenzen durch andere
schnurlose Mikrofonsender von Sony in der
ausgewählten Gruppe, vorausgesetzt, die empfohlenen
Betriebsbedingungen werden eingehalten. Bei den
übrigen Gruppen gelten die Frequenzbestimmungen in
verschiedenen Ländern, und ein interferenzfreier
Betrieb kann nicht immer gewährleistet werden.
Gruppe 00 dient zum Durchsuchen offener Kanäle
bzw. eignet sich für ein Einkanalsystem.

UHF Synthesized
Tuner Unit
WRU-806A
© 1999 by Sony Corporation
[CE62] [CE69]
English
Overview
The WRU-806A is a reliable UHF synthesized tuner unit for the 800-
MHz-band Sony UHF wireless microphone system which uses the
frequency bands allocated for UHF TV broadcasting. To use this unit,
install it in a Sony MB-806A Tuner Base Unit.
The unit is designed to enable simultaneous use of multiple channels
when channels are selected according to the Sony channel plan.
In building up a UHF wireless microphone system, be sure to combine
a microphone/transmitter and a tuner having the same TV channel
number (62 or 69).
The following are the principal features of this unit.
Phase Locked Loop (PLL) synthesized system
The unit has a refined phase locked loop (PLL) synthesizer circuit.
Preprogrammed wireless channel plan for simultaneous
multichannel operation
The unit has many preprogrammed, easily settable channels in a
simultaneous multichannel operation.
Versatile display
A liquid-crystal display provides a variety of information, including
the levels of the reception channels, RF information and transmitter
battery alarm.
Space diversity reception system
The unit provides stable signal reception with minimum dropout.
Tone squelch circuit for noise elimination
A built-in squelch circuit eliminates noise and signal interference
when the unit is in signal reception standby mode.
Compander system
A compander (compressor/expander) system enables stabilized
wireless transmission over a wide dynamic range.
System Configuration
The unit can be used with a UHF Synthesized Wireless Microphone or
UHF Synthesized Transmitter among the models listed in the table
below.

Precaution
On operation
• The unit must be used within a temperature range of 0°C to 40°C.
Avoid using the unit for extended periods at extremely high
temperatures or placing it in direct sunlight, especially outdoors
because this may damage the finish of the case. Never install the unit
on or near a heat source, such as lighting equipment or power
amplifiers.
• Avoid using in very humid or dusty places, because such use may
shorten the life of the unit.
• To avoid degradation of the signal-to-noise ratio, do not use the unit
in noisy places or in locations subject to noise or vibration, such as
the following:
— near electrical equipment, such as motors, transformers or
dimmers
— near air conditioning equipment or places subject to direct air
flow from an air conditioner
— near public address loudspeakers
— where adjacent equipment might knock against the unit
• Switching lights on or off may produce electrical interference over
the entire frequency range. Position the unit and the wireless
microphones so that interference is minimized.
• The unit is precisely adjusted at the factory and no adjustment before
use is necessary. Do not touch the inside of the unit or try to repair it
by yourself.
On cleaning
Clean the unit with a dry, soft cloth. Never use thinner, benzene,
alcohol or any other chemicals, since these may damage the finish.

the slot where the unit is installed and pull the lever forward. The unit
is ejected from the slot.
Message Meaning Measures
Err 01 An error has occurred in the
backup memory data. The memory data is initialized. Reset the group
and channel settings.
Err 02 The PLL-synthesized circuit
has a malfunction. Contact your nearest Sony dealer.
NO TONE As no tone signal is
available or a tone signal
other than 32.768 kHz is
being received, the audio
signal output is muted.
Make sure that the
transmitter is turned on. If it
is, then the problem lies in
the transmitter’s tone signal
generator or the tuner’s
tone squelch circuit.
Contact your nearest Sony
dealer.
Error Message
Apart from the normal indications, the following error messages may
