8Features
Features
The DWR-S02D digital wireless receiver is
a slot-in type wireless receiver capable of
receiving two channels from digital
wireless transmitters. Used in conjunction
with Sony professional camcorders or the
optional DWA-01D/F01D wireless adapter,
the DWR-S02D enables the construction of
a fully digital ENG/EFP audio system.
This receiver enables the application of
multiple channels over unused television
channels through the use of the built-in
Sony original channel plan.
What is DWX?
DWX refers to Sony’s new digital wireless
microphone system. The DWX series
reflects Sony’s extensive expertise in
professional microphones and sound
design. It represents a successful blend of
Sony know-how, wireless technology
renowned for stability, and cutting-edge
digital audio technology.
In addition to realizing the high sound
quality possible with a digital system, the
DWX series supports multi-channel
simultaneous operation, encrypted
transmission, and metadata transmission for
monitoring the status of multiple
transmitters. Using a main link and a
separate additional link, remote control of
transmitters from the receiver is also
possible. With its many advanced features,
the system has the potential to revolutionize
the workflow of professional applications.
What is WiDIF-HP?
WiDIF-HP (WiDIF: Wireless Digital
Interface Format, HP: High Profile) is a
wireless digital audio interface format
developed by Sony.
It enables highly secure transmission with
high sound quality and low system latency,
and supports simultaneous multi-channel
operation.
What is Cross Remote?
Cross Remote is a system that allows
transmitters to be monitored and controlled
from a receiver and the Wireless Studio
control software installed on a computer
connected to the receiver.
For example, the settings of a transmitter
worn under clothing can be easily changed
over the wireless link.
Preprogrammed wireless
channel plans for
simultaneous multi-channel
operation
The DWR-S02D has many preprogrammed
channel groups, meaning combination of
wireless channels to permit simultaneous
operation of multiple channels without
intermodulation.
Two-channel slot-in wireless
receiver
Despite its dual-channel receiver capability,
the DWR-S02D is small enough to be
mounted directly in the slot of the Sony
camcorder.
Rear mounting to camcorders
The DWR-S02D can be rear-mounted to a
range of Sony professional camcorders -
using the DWA-01D/F01D wireless
adapter. When used with a camcorder that
has AES/EBU inputs, full-digital audio
recording is also possible.

lightweight, maintaining a good balance
even when mounted on a camcorder. In
addition, it is made of magnesium die-cast
and aluminum, making it extremely rugged
and suitable for the harsh environment.

Using the
Encrypted
Transmission
Function
This receiver is capable of receiving
scrambled signals from Sony digital
wireless transmitters. This function
prevents hacking of the signal.
To use this function, select one of the
following encrypted transmission modes:
Secure key mode: A secure key that is
automatically generated by the transmitter
is used by both the transmitter and receiver
in this one-to-one encrypted transmission
method.
Password mode: You choose a
password of up to eight characters that can
be set for multiple transmitters and
receivers. This enables encrypted
transmission to be conducted within a
group.
Make sure the same mode is set on the
transmitter and receiver.
Using Secure Key Mode
(SECURE KEY)
Use this mode for one-to-one encrypted
transmission between one transmitter and
one receiver.
An encryption key that cannot be read from
the outside is automatically generated by
the transmitter. This key is transmitted to
the receiver through a USB connection or
the RF REMOTE function, enabling
encrypted transmission to take place.
The encryption key used by the transmitter
and receiver is newly generated for each
key transmission, resulting in highly secure
communication.
The encryption key used between the
transmitter and the receiver is saved when
the power is turned off, so the encrypted
transmission can be resumed the next time
the power is turned on.

Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
If you encounter a problem using this receiver, use the following checklist to find a solution.
For any problems with the transmitter or adapter, refer to the operating instructions supplied
with the respective device. If the problem persists, consult your Sony dealer.
Symptom Meanings Remedy
The receiver
does not turn
on.
The receiver is not correctly
inserted into the slot of the
camcorder or the optional DWA-
01D/F01D wireless adapter.
Insert the receiver until it is firmly
and completely in, and then secure
it with the mounting screws.
There is no
sound.
The channel setting on the
transmitter is different from that
on the receiver.
Use the same channel setting on
both the transmitter and receiver.
The transmitter is turned off. Check the power supply or battery
of the transmitter.
The setting of the encrypted
transmission function on the
receiver is different from that on
the transmitter.
Confirm that the setting of the
encrypted transmission function is
the same on both the transmitter
and the receiver.
When the receiver is attached
through the optional DWA-01D/
F01D wireless adapter, the
setting of the sync signal is not
appropriate.
Using the sync signal selection
(SYNC SOURCE) function, set the
sync signal to INTERNAL.
When an external sync signal is
used, confirm the connection of the
sync signal, and set to AUTO or
EXTERNAL.
The sound is
weak.
The attenuation level on the
transmitter is too high.
Set the attenuator on the
transmitter to an appropriate level.
The AES/EBU reference output
level is set to –36 dBFS LINEAR.
Set the reference output level
according to the use (see page 20).
There is
distortion in
the sound.
The attenuation level of the
transmitter is zero or too low.
The input level of the transmitter is
extremely high. Adjust the
attenuation level on the transmitter
so that there is no distortion to the
sound.
A LINE level signal is being input
while the input level of the
transmitter set to MIC.
Refer to the operating instructions
supplied with the transmitter and
set the input level to LINE.
32 Troubleshooting
There is
sound
interruption
or noise.
The RF indicator lights up even
when the transmitter is turned off.
Jamming radio waves are being
received. Set the channel whose
RF indicator on the receiver does
not light up, and then set that same
channel on the transmitter. When
two or more transmitters are being
used, change to another channel
group that is unaffected by jamming
radio waves. When doing this, the
clear channel scan function is
useful.
Two or more transmitters are set
to the same channel.
It is not possible to use two or more
transmitters that are set to the same
channel. Refer to the Sony digital
wireless frequency lists and reset
the transmitter channel.
The channel is not set within the
same channel group.
The channel plan of the receiver
use is set so that no signal
interference occurs when two or
more transmitters are used
simultaneously. Set each
transmitter to a different channel
within the same channel group.
Wireless
remote
control is not
possible.
Pairing has not been established
between the transmitter and
receiver.
Carry out pairing (see page 26).
The receiver is too far from the
transmitter for communication to
occur.
Check the condition level. If it is low,
decrease the distance between the

Notes on Using the
Receiver
• The digital wireless microphone system
product must be used within a
temperature range of 0°C to 50°C (32°F
to 122°F).
• Operating the receiver near electrical
equipment (motors, transformers, or
dimmers) may cause it to be affected by
electromagnetic induction. Keep the
receiver as far from such equipment as
possible.
• The presence of the lighting equipment
may produce electrical interference over
the entire frequency range. Position the
receiver so that interference is
minimized.
• To avoid degradation of the signal-to-
noise ratio, do not use the receiver in
noisy places or in locations subject to
vibration, such as the following:
- near electrical equipment, such as
motors, transformers or dimmers
- near air conditioning equipment or
places subject to direct air flow from
an air conditioner
- near public address loudspeakers
- where adjacent equipment might
knock against the tuner
Keep the receiver as far from such
equipment as possible or use buffering
material.
On Cleaning
• If the receiver is used in a very humid or
dusty place or in a place subject to an
active gas, clean its surface as well as the
connectors with a dry, soft cloth soon
after use. Lengthy use of the receiver in
such places or not cleaning it after its use
in such places may shorten its life.
• Clean the surface and the connectors of
the receiver with a dry, soft cloth. Never
use thinner, benzene, alcohol or any other
chemicals, since these may mar the
finish.
Transmitter software version
If the software version is not suitable for use
with this receiver, the wireless remote
control function may not function. A
software update may be necessary to enable
proper functioning. For details on software
updates, contact your Sony service
representative.
When using a US model, always update the
software on the transmitter.
Audio degradation due to
weak reception
In a digital wireless system, sound quality is
maintained up to the maximum
transmission range. Beyond this point, as
the radio wave becomes weaker, data
synchronization is lost and the connection
finally breaks. Sony digital wireless
systems suppress the occurrence of large
noise between these two points as the signal
weakens. As a result, digital processing is
conducted in a way that allows the signal to
degrade in a very natural way.
