Menu Item Descriptions

LEVEL
This setup screen displays the audio output level of the
receiver in dBu when the transmitter is fully modulated.
Press the MENU/SEL button to toggle between receiver
1 and receiver 2. Use the UP or DOWN buttons to
change the level. Range is from -50 to +5 dBu in 1 dB
steps. Press the BACK button to leave this screen.
The output levels at the two jacks may be set indepen-
dently, regardless of the diversity mode setting.
DEFAULT
Restores the factory default settings.
SMARTUNE
The receiver will scan through its tuning bandwidth and
automatically find clear frequencies. The newly found
frequency will be displayed and can then be sent to the
matching transmitter via the IR link, or be set manually.
Note: Pressing BACK during an active scan will restore
the operating frequency to what it was set at pre-scan.
When the DIVMODE is set to SWITCHED, there are
two different frequencies that can be discovered, so the
LCD screens will prompt you through the procedure for
one receiver, then continue to repeat the process for
the other receiver. When the DIVMODE is set to RATIO,
there is only one frequency to be found.
The sample screens below are for the SWITCHED
mode. Similar screens appear for the RATIO mode, but
there is only one frequency to be discovered.
Navigate to the SMARTUNE screen
SMART 1
and press MENU/SEL.
TUNE
The scan will cover the full tuning
TX 1
bandwidth, or only one of the three.
Use the UP and DOWN arrows to
BAND
941
select.
OK
SYNC 1
NOTE: If the transmitter does not have an IR
port, set the frequency selected by SMARTUNE
on it manually. Then press MENU/SEL on the
receiver to continue.
After leaving the SYNC screen,
TUNE RX2
the LCD will ask about setting up
the other receiver. Use the UP and
NOW? YES
DOWN arrows to toggle YES/NO
then press MENU/SEL.
Make sure the TX 1 transmitter is
IS TX1
on (the one just set in the previous
screen), then use the UP and DOWN
ON? NO
arrows to a YES answer and press
MENU/SEL.
18
After the scanning is complete,
the LCD will prompt to transfer
the frequency to the matching
transmitter via the IR port. Press
the DOWN arrow to start the
transfer.
IR SYNC
Navigate to this menu item to manually initiate the IR
sync transfer. Hold the IR ports on the transmitter and
receiver facing each other a foot or two apart and press
the UP arrow for channel 1 or the DOWN arrow for
channel 2. Watch for a confirmation on the transmitter
LCD to verify the settings were correctly transferred. If
one or both settings could not be enabled on the trans-
mitter, an error message will appear on its screen.
SCAN
Follow the procedure detailed in the subsequent section
entitled Scanning for Clear Frequencies for instruc-
tions on finding clear channels manually.
DIVMODE
The SWITCH diversity mode (dual channel mode) al-
lows the two internal receivers to operate independently
on different frequencies and settings with two different
transmitters. Diversity reception uses an antenna phase
switching technique on each receiver. When this mode
is selected, the setup screens will prompt you to select
the receiver to be adjusted.
The RATIO mode combines the two internal receiv-
ers to pick up the same transmitter and mix their audio
outputs in a ratio panning mode. In this mode, the setup
screen for frequency will prompt you for a single value
which will automatically be set for both receivers.
TALKBACK
This is a special function that re-directs the audio output
of the transmitter in use to the channel 2 output when
a button is pressed on the transmitter. The normal use
is to provide a "com" channel so the person using the
transmitter can have a direct line to the crew or produc-
tion staff that is not sent to the program output. The
HHa hand held transmitter provides a programmable
switch on the housing that can be configured for this
function.
Programmable button
Button
back in the menu and use the UP and DOWN arrow
buttons to turn the function on. The mode must also be
enabled on the transmitter.
Talkback works the same way in either the SWITCHED
or RATIO diversity modes, but ONLY works in the NU
HYPR compatibility mode.
NOTE: When Talkback is enabled, only receiver 1 and
a blinking TB will appear in the Main Window.
As long as the button
is held in, the audio
will appear at the
channel 2 output.
When the button is
(none)
released, the audio
Mute output will switch
TalkBk back to channel 1.
To enable this mode,
simply select Talk-
