Operation
Procedure for UWP-D series devices (UTX-B40/
M40/P40 and URX-P40)
1
Connect the tuner as required.
For details about example connections, see “System
Configuration Example” (page 32).
2
Press and hold the POWER button for at least one
second on the tuner to turn the power on.
Note
Some noise may occur when power is turned on.
Accordingly, turn down the audio input level of
devices connected to the tuner when turning the
power on.
3
Press and hold the NFC SYNC button on the tuner for
at least four seconds.
Clear Channel Scan starts searching for an available
channel within the configured channel group.
When Clear Channel Scan finishes, the channel with
the least noise and interference will be set.
When the channel is set, NFC communication starts
automatically.
For details about how to set the group, see “Setting
the receive channel” (page 21).
4
Place the N-Marks of both the tuner and transmitter in
close proximity (approximately 5 mm).
At this time, make sure that the transmitter is turned
on or that the battery level is sufficient and the
transmitter is turned off.
19
Information about the channel set on the tuner is sent
to the transmitter, and then the transmit channel is set.
“COMPLETE” is shown on the display of the
transmitter and tuner, and the transmitter vibrates
when setup is finished.
If the transmitter is turned off when NFC
communication is initiated, the transmitter
automatically turns on and starts transmitting.
Notes
• NFC communication lasts approximately
20 seconds. Perform step 4 within 20 seconds of
performing step 3. If 20 seconds have elapsed, you
can reestablish NFC communication using the
SYNC RX->TX menu on the tuner.
• Communications using NFC may be adversely
affected, depending on the surrounding
environment. If this occurs, use the SYNC
RX->TX menu on the tuner to reestablish the link.
• If “COMPLETE” is shown on the display of the
tuner but the transmitter does not vibrate, the setup
may not be finished. If this occurs, use the SYNC
RX->TX menu on the tuner to reestablish the link.
If noise is generated
Depending on the environment where the devices are
installed, external noise or radio waves may disrupt
transmission on certain channels. When selecting a
channel under these circumstances, turn off the
transmitter. Then, on the tuner, select a channel for which
the RF indicator does not light up (i.e., a channel free
from noise or radio wave interference). Set the same
channel on the transmitter.
Note
To prevent interference or noise, take the following
precautions.
• Do not use two or more transmitters on the same
channels.
• When operating two or more UWP-D series packages
simultaneously, set each package to a different channel
within the same channel group.
• Keep the antennas on the tuner and transmitter
separated by at least 3 meters (about 10 feet).
• When operating two or more UWP-D series packages
simultaneously with different channel groups, make
sure that they are at least 100 meters (330 feet) apart if
they are used within clear sight of each other (actual
distance may vary depending on the circumstances).

The infrared receptor on the transmitter is too far
from the infrared transmission port on the tuner.
Interference from infrared communications
between other devices or from direct sunlight is
present.
Reduce the distance between the infrared
receptor on the transmitter and the infrared
transmission port on the tuner to within about
20 cm (8 in.).
The transmitting distance is reduced when
interference from strong sunlight, for example, is
present. Place the transmitter and tuner as close
to each other as possible.

communication between a transmitter and a tuner. It
cannot be used for communication with other devices.
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.
Condensation
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.
OLED panel
Due to the characteristics of the material used in the
OLED panel, permanent burn-in or reduction in
brightness may occur.
These problems are not a malfunction.
Usage and storage
• Operating the UWP-D series devices near electrical
equipment (motors, transformers, or dimmers) may
cause interference due to electromagnetic induction.
Keep the devices as far from such equipment as
possible.
• The presence of lighting equipment may produce
electrical interference over a wide frequency range. In
this case, interference may fluctuate with the position of
the tuner antenna and position of the transmitter.
Position the devices so that interference is minimized.
• To avoid degradation of the signal to noise ratio, do not
use UWP-D devices 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 PA (public address) loudspeakers
– Near equipment that might knock against the tuner
Keep devices as far from such equipment as possible or
use buffering material.
Cleaning
Clean the surface and the connectors of devices with a
dry, soft cloth. Never use thinners, benzene, alcohol, or
any other chemicals, since these may mar the finish.
To prevent electromagnetic interference
Some channels may be unable to be used due to noise
generated due to the effects of external noise and/or
radio interference. In this case, it is recommended to
stop transmitting (turn the power off) or change to
another frequency (change channel).
To prevent electromagnetic interference from
portable communication devices
The use of portable telephones and other
communication devices near the devices may result in
malfunction and interference with audio signals. It is
recommended that portable communication equipment
near the devices be turned off.
Consumable parts
The life expectancy of the electrolytic capacitor is about
5 years under normal operating temperatures and normal
usage (8 hours per day; 25 days per month). If usage
exceeds the above normal usage frequency, the life
expectancy may be reduced correspondingly.
