Usage Precautions

Notes

• Always verify that the unit is operating properly before use. SONY WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, COMPENSATION OR REIMBURSEMENT ON ACCOUNT OF THE LOSS OF PRESENT OR PROSPECTIVE PROFITS DUE TO FAILURE OF THIS UNIT, EITHER DURING THE WARRANTY PERIOD OR AFTER EXPIRATION OF THE WARRANTY, OR FOR ANY OTHER REASON WHATSOEVER.
• SONY WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR CLAIMS OF ANY KIND MADE BY USERS OF THIS UNIT OR MADE BY THIRD PARTIES.
• SONY WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR THE TERMINATION OR DISCONTINUATION OF ANY SERVICES RELATED TO THIS UNIT THAT MAY RESULT DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCES OF ANY KIND.

If the unit is suddenly taken from a cold to a warm location, or if ambient temperature suddenly rises, moisture may form on the outer surface of the unit and/or inside of the unit. This is known as condensation. If condensation occurs, turn off the unit and wait until the condensation clears before operating the unit. Operating the unit while condensation is present may damage the unit.

• Noise may occur in some rare cases due to signal interference from mobile terminals.
  To prevent noise, operate the unit at least 30 cm away from any mobile terminals.

• When using this unit, do not connect the receiver’s output cables to the camera. Doing so may result in noise.

Overview

This unit is a dedicated shoe-mount adaptor used for connecting the UWP-D series wireless microphone package’s receiver (URX-P40 portable diversity tuner) to a camera.
The adaptor supports video camera recorders and interchangeable-lens digital cameras from Sony and other Sony cameras equipped with a multi-interface shoe, improving the convenience of using a wireless microphone for shooting video.

• Wirelessly transfer audio signals from the receiver to the camera.
• Connects directly to a camera equipped with a multi-interface shoe that supports digital audio input for recording of a digital audio signal output from a receiver, enabling the recording of low-noise audio.
• Supports the display of the status of the wireless microphone on the LCD screen or viewfinder for some models.
• Provides power from the camera to the receiver via settings on the receiver.
• Power supply automatically switches to power from the camera when batteries are not inserted in the receiver. In such cases, on/off switching of the receiver’s power is linked to that of the camera.

Note

When used in conjunction with some camera models, operation of the power supply function and the power ON/OFF control function is not guaranteed. Insert new AA alkaline batteries in the receiver, and set the receiver’s power select (PWR SOURCE) menu item to BATT ONLY mode. When the remaining battery indicator reaches one segment or less, insert new batteries immediately to avoid unexpected shutdown of the camera or data loss.

Be sure to remove the unit from the camera before removing the receiver.

Mounting to the Camera

1. Remove the terminal cap.

2. Turn off the camera, align the unit’s multi-interface foot with the camera’s multi-interface shoe, and slide the unit in toward the lens until it is secure. Note
   Mounting may be difficult when performed with the tightening dial turned toward the LOCK arrow. Turn the tightening dial in the opposite direction of the LOCK arrow before mounting.

3. Turn the tightening dial in the direction of the LOCK arrow to secure the unit.
   When removing the unit, turn the camera off before performing the above procedure in reverse order.

Note

If the unit is attached to the handle of the camera handle, make sure that no load is placed on the unit and receiver.

Linking the Receiver Power to the Camera

You can link the on/off switching of the camera’s power to that of the receiver. Perform the following while the unit and the receiver are connected to the camera.

1. Remove the LR6 (size AA) batteries from the receiver.
2. Turn on the camera.
3. Turn on the receiver.

Notes

• If you turn off the power via the receiver, its link with the camera will be severed. To reestablish the link, operate the receiver to turn it on.
• If BATT ONLY is set in the power source selection menu of the receiver, it cannot be linked with the camera.

Switching the Output Signal.

You can change the type of audio signal that is output from the unit using the Analog/Digital switch. It is set to Analog when shipped from the factory. Analog: The adaptor supports existing video camera recorders and interchangeable-lens digital cameras from Sony and other Sony cameras equipped with a multi-interface shoe.
Digital: The adaptor supports cameras equipped with a multi-interface shoe that supports digital audio input. For some models, the RF level meter of the receiver, muting status of the transmitter (M mark), and remaining battery capacity warning (RF level meter flashes) are displayed on the LCD screen or viewfinder (see the following table).

For details on cameras that support this function, visit the Sony website.

Note

When attached to cameras that do not support digital audio input, set the Analog/Digital switch to the Analog position for use. If the Analog/Digital switch is set to the Digital position, the audio signal will not be output to the camera.
