•The unit is designed for use in ambient temperature range

of 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F).

•Do not place the unit on or near heat sources, such as

lighting equipment, power amplifiers, or in a place subject

to direct sunlight or excessive moisture. In such places,

the external finish or internal parts of the unit may be

damaged.

•If the unit is used in a very humid or dusty place or in a

place subject to an active or corrosive gas, clean its

surface as well as the connectors with a dry, soft cloth

soon after use.

Lengthy use of the unit in such places or not cleaning it

after its use in such places may shorten its life.

•When cleaning the unit, never use organic solvents such

Precautions

2(US)

Battery alarm for a transmitter

The WRR-861A/861B has capability of receiving “Battery

status information” from a transmitter to make advance

warning of battery depletion.The information is sent in

about one hour advance to battery exhaust so that you can

safely replace the batteries of the transmitter.

Selectable RF squelch

The RF squelch can be easily turned ON or OFF with the

panel switch. The RF squelch level is selectable from 5 dBµ,

10 dBµ and 15 dBµ.

Preprogrammed wireless channel plans for simultaneous

multi channel operation

The WRR-861A/861B has many preprogrammed channel

groups, meaning combination of wireless channels to permit

simultaneous operation of multiple channels without

intermodulation.

See “Wireless Microphone System Frequency List” supplied

with this manual.

Wide Operating Frequency ranges

For details, see “Specifications” on page 17.

Overview

The WRR-861A/861B is a highly reliable diversity tuner for

the Sony UHF wireless microphone system to be used for

broadcast or movie production purposes.

This tuner is suitable for Electronic News Gathering (ENG)

and Electronic Field Production (EFP).

The microphone/transmitter and tuners of the wireless

microphone system are classified by frequency band.

In building a UHF wireless microphone system, be sure to

combine a microphone/transmitter and a tuner having the

same wireless channel (frequency).

Features

Space Diversity Reception

A space diversity system is employed to eliminate signal

dropout and provide stable reception. An SMC9-4S (Sony 4

pin) audio output connector is provided on the top panel.

Two way powering

Approximate eight hours of continuous operation is

provided by using four LR6 (size AA) alkaline batteries.

The WRR-861A/861B can also be operated on the external

power from Sony camcorders via the supplied DC cable.

(US)

Parts Identification

Extensive information by the LEDs and LCD display

The LEDs indicate RF input level (green/ red indication),

diversity reception status, and transmitter battery alarm.

The LCD display indicates the operating channel/frequency,

AF output level, RF input level, battery status of the tuner,

and the accumulated operating time.

Compact, lightweight and easy to mount on Sony

camcorders

The WRR-861A/861B is compact and lightweight, housing

in the rugged, die-cast magnesium case. It is easily mounted

on Sony camcorders.

Off: RF input is less than 10 dBµ.

When the squelch level is set to 15 dBµ;

On in green: RF input is more than 25 dBµ.

On in red: RF input is between 15 dBµ and 25 dBµ.

Off: RF input is less than 15 dBµ.

5TX BATT (transmitter battery) indicator

Shows the battery condition of the wireless microphone

transmitter. The indicator starts flashing about one hour

before the transmitter batteries go flat.

6MONITOR volume

Turn to adjust the monitoring level through headphones.

7SQUELCH switch

In ordinary use, set the switch to ON, and the noise and

signal interference will be eliminated when the tuner is in

signal reception stand-by mode. Set to OFF to search

outside noise or a radio wave which may disrupt the

transmission.

Note

If you turn off the SQUELCH switch when the tuner is in

stand-by condition for signal receiving or when the RF input

level is low, noise may be heard or the connected device or

speakers may be damaged. Be sure to operate this switch

only after minimizing the input of the connected device.

1ANT (antenna) a/b connectors

Connect the antennas supplied to both ANT a/b connectors.

Note

Be sure to connect two antennas to these connectors to

make the diversity reception properly.

2OUTPUT (BAL) connector

The OUTPUT connector supplies audio signal output from

the tuner.

Connect this connector to the microphone input connector

of a camcorder, mixer, or tape recorder by using the

supplied cable.

3MONITOR connector

To monitor the tuner output, connect the headphones,

equipped with a 3.5 mm (5/32 inch) dia stereo mini plug.

Use either of stereo or monaural headphones. Adjust the

monitor level with the MONITOR volume.

4RF (radio frequency) indicators

Indicate the strength of the RF input signal and the

receiving antenna for diversity reception of the tuner.

The indication color shows the strength of the RF input

signal. The indicated signal level changes corresponding to

the squelch level setting.

When the squelch level is set to 5 dBµ;

On in green: RF input is more than 15 dBµ.

On in red: RF input is between 5 dBµ and 15 dBµ.

Off: RF input is less than 5 dBµ.
