When using multiple microphones and transmitters at the same time (simultaneous multi-channel operations) within the same area, selecting the same group and using a channel within that group can prevent signal interference. To set the transmission channel on the transmitter, first you select the group and channel using the RF indicator and scanning functions on the receiver. Next you set the group and channel parameters to match the setting on the receiver. Notes • Certain transmission channels cannot be used with the wireless remote control function. For details on transmission channels that support the wireless remote control function, refer to “Sony Digital Wireless Microphone System Frequency Lists” on the supplied CD-ROM. • When selecting the channel, “(INCOMPATIBLE WITH RF REMOTE)” will slide across the display for transmission channels that cannot be used with the wireless remote control function. • When a transmission channel that cannot be used with the wireless remote control function is selected, “RESTRICTED BY GP/CH SETTING” appears on the RF REMOTE screen and the wireless remote control function cannot be used. To enable use of the wireless remote control function, select transmission channels for which “(INCOMPATIBLE WITH RF REMOTE)” does not appear during channel selection. Selecting the group/channel Notes • Before doing this procedure, use the BAND function (see page 10) to set the transmitter to the bandwidth of the receiver you are using. • The setting for this function cannot be changed during actual signal transmission.
