UTILITY Menu
For details on menu operation, see “Basic Menu
Operations” on page 18.
The UTILITY menu includes items related
to the basic receiver settings, including
meter displays.
These functions and parameters are
explained here. Underlined items are the
factory setting.
The functions indicated by “ADAPTER”
(from the AES/EBU LVL@MIC function
to the ANALOG OUTPUT1 function) in
the upper-right corner are related to the
AES/EBU output when the receiver is used
in conjunction with the optional DWA-01D
digital wireless adapter. The function does
not operate even when used with a
compatible Sony slot-in type camcorder.
Selecting the AES/EBU
Output Reference Level
(AES/EBU LVL@MIC)
Selects reference level for the AES/EBU
output of the optional DWA-01D digital
wireless adapter.
The setting of this function is invalid when
the audio input level of the sending
transmitter is set to LINE (–20 dBFS
headroom signal).
The function does not operate for analog
output.
– 36 dBFS LINEAR: The audio signal
from the transmitter is output with a
headroom of 36 dB.
– 20 dBFS LIMITER: The reference level
is changed to –20 dBFS in conformity with
the normal AES/EBU interface and the
audio signal from the transmitter is
compressed.
– 20 dBFS ST LIMIT: The reference level
is changed to –20 dBFS (as in the –20 dBFS
LIMITER mode above) and audio signal
compression is linked for tuner 1 and tuner
2. Select this setting when sending stereo
audio signals using 2 transmitters.
Selecting the Sync Signal
(SYNC SOURCE)
Selects the sync signal source for the
receiver when it is attached through the
optional DWA-01D digital wireless
adapter. The receiver supports an external
sync signal (word clock) of 32 kHz –6% to
96 kHz +6%.
For details on locking the sync signal, refer to the
operating instructions supplied with the adapter.
INTERNAL: The internal sync signal (48
kHz) is used.
AUTO: The external sync signal is used on
a priority basis. When there is no external
sync signal input, the internal sync signal is
used automatically. The currently selected
sync signal is displayed “INTERNAL” or
“EXTERNAL.”
EXTERNAL: Synchronization with an
external word clock signal. The current
synchronization status is displayed
“UNLOCK” or “LOCK.”
