    How to fix a Sony UWP-D27 that does not turn on?
    • G
      Gloria BrownAug 21, 2025
      If your Sony Microphone system is not turning on, ensure the batteries are inserted with the correct polarity. Replace low batteries with new ones. Clean any dirt from the battery terminals and the battery compartment with a cotton swab. If using battery power, make sure batteries are inserted and the power source is set to 'BATT ONLY'. If using the SMAD-P5, check that it is correctly connected to the camera or tuner and that the power supplies for the tuner and camera are correctly linked.

    What to do if there is no sound from my Sony UWP-D27 Microphone system?

      Meghan HallAug 23, 2025
      If there is no sound from your Sony Microphone system, verify that the channel setting is the same on both the transmitter and tuner. Confirm that the transmitter is on and reduce the distance between the transmitter and tuner. Ensure the transmitter is set to microphone input, not line level. The compander mode setting must be the same on both devices. Check if the transmitter is muted and release it by pressing the POWER/MUTE button. Review the MUTE SETTING menu and audio output connector settings. If using the SMAD-P5, ensure the Analog/Digital switch is correctly set. For microphones connected to the MIC INPUT, configure the microphone setting in the MIC SELECT menu to match the microphone type.

    Why is the noise louder when connected with SMAD-P5 on my Sony UWP-D27?

      Stephanie SmithAug 26, 2025
      To resolve the issue of louder noise when connected with SMAD-P5 compared to the XLR-BMP conversion output cable on your Sony Microphone system, adjust the reference input level and reference recording level of the camcorder, or adjust the OUTPUT LEVEL on the tuner to set the appropriate audio level.

    Why is the sound distorted on my Sony UWP-D27 Microphone system?
    • E
      Eric ReillyAug 28, 2025
      If the sound from your Sony Microphone system is distorted, the attenuation level on the transmitter might be too low or set to 0. Adjust the attenuation so that the audio is not distorted. If the GAIN MODE menu is set to 15dB BOOST, change it to prevent distortion. Ensure the channel setting is the same on both the transmitter and tuner. Use headphones with a stereo mini jack. If the OUTPUT MODE menu of the tuner is set to HIGH GAIN, change it to NORMAL. If the distortion occurs when using a microphone connected to the MIC INPUT connector, configure the microphone setting in the MIC SELECT menu to match the microphone type.

    Why do the batteries become drained quickly on my Sony UWP-D27?
    • M
      Micheal IrwinAug 31, 2025
      If the batteries in your Sony Microphone system are draining quickly, replace them with new ones. Use alkaline batteries instead of manganese batteries, as alkaline batteries have a longer lifespan. Be aware that batteries drain quickly under cold conditions.

    Why is the sound weak on my Sony UWP-D27 Microphone system?
    • D
      Daniel LarsonSep 2, 2025
      If the sound from your Sony Microphone system is weak, the attenuation level on the transmitter may be too high. Set the attenuation to an appropriate level. Also, check the volume on the amplifier or mixer and adjust it accordingly. Ensure the transmitter is set to microphone input, not line level. The compander mode setting should be the same on both the transmitter and tuner. Verify that the supplied cable and the connected device are correctly connected. If the sound is weak from a microphone connected to the MIC INPUT connector, adjust the level in the INPUT LEVEL menu to match the connected microphone.

    How to troubleshoot the infrared transmission on a Sony UWP-D27 Microphone system?
    • J
      Jermaine LynchSep 7, 2025
      If the transmitter channel on your Sony Microphone system cannot be set with infrared transmission, 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.). Also, minimize interference from infrared communications or direct sunlight by placing the transmitter and tuner as close as possible. Ensure that the SYNC MODE menu setting is set to IR.

      Courtney GarrisonSep 9, 2025
      If the transmitter channel of your Sony Microphone system cannot be set via NFC communication, ensure the N-Marks of both units are facing each other and are approximately 5 mm apart, with no metallic objects nearby. Also, verify that the SYNC MODE menu setting is NFC.
