Preliminary Copy 08-16-04 Front Panel Controls and Functions The Venue System consists of a VRM (VR Master) and one to six individual receiver modules. The VRM front panel provides an easy-to-use LCD interface for system setup, monitoring and troubleshooting. During normal operation, the LCD shows RF and audio levels, diversity status, pilot tone status (where applicable) and transmitter battery status (when available) for all six receivers at the same time. Individual screens for each receiver are also available to provide additional information and adjust- ments. A headphone jack and level control is provided for indi- vidual channel monitoring. POWER Button The POWER button is used both to control the applica- tion of power to the unit and to clear (or reset) the Scan Mode spectrum analyzer. Pressing and holding the POWER button for at least two seconds turns the unit off. Function Button Used for special functions in selected Setup Screens. LCD Screen The LCD Screen is a graphics-type Liquid Crystal Display used to set up and monitor system operation. (See Setup and Operation Using LCD.) Venue System Controls and Functions PUSH FOR MENU/SELECT Rotary Control The PUSH FOR MENU/SELECT (hereafter called the MENU/SELECT control) is a dual function control for navigating and selecting Setup Menus or Setup Screens, and for setting parameters within the Setup Screens. LEVEL Control The LEVEL control is used to adjust the output level of the front panel PHONES jack. PHONES Jack The stereo PHONES jack is provided for monitoring the audio output of selected receivers. Only the audio from a single receiver (or a diversity pair) selected via the Receiver Select Buttons will be present at this jack at any given time. Receiver Select Buttons The six Receiver Select Buttons are used to select individual installed receiver modules either for monitoring via the PHONES jack, or for setup and adjustment.

Rio Rancho, NM – USA Preliminary Copy 08-16-04 Rear Panel Features The rear panel provides six balanced XLR audio outputs, two 50 Ohm BNC antenna inputs, two 50 Ohm BNC antenna outputs from an internal multicoupler, a power jack with a locking connector, and USB and RS-232 serial ports. Power Input Jack The power input jack accepts +10 VDC to +18 VDC (center pin is positive and sleeve is ground). The input is diode protected to prevent damage if the power is accidentally applied with reversed polarity. The unit will not operate until the correct polarity is restored. Receiver Modules Up to six receiver modules in two rows of three can be installed in each VRM. Spring loaded Receiver Module Retainer Clips ensure module connections are main- tained during transport and installation. XLR Audio Output Jacks Six balanced audio output jacks using standard XLR connectors are provided to connect the Venue System to external equipment. The default value for receiver audio output is "in phase" in regard to the audio signal from the transmitter. This can be reversed using the Phase Setup Screen. (See VR Menu Functions, Phase.) RS-232 Port A serial RS-232 interface is provided for setup and control of the Venue System from computers or other devices using industry standard RS-232 communication links. Antenna Input Jacks Two BNC input connectors are provided for right-angle whip antennas, cables from remote antennas, or cables from another VRM. An internal mulitcoupler ensures the RF is applied equally to all installed Receiver Modules and also to the Antenna Output Jacks. Antenna Output Jacks Two pairs of 50 Ohm BNC output jacks provide zero-gain antenna “loop-throughs” for an additional receivers, allowing convenient expansion without the need for an external RF multicoupler or additional antenna systems. Note Venue Systems can be looped together successfully only when they cover the same frequency block range. Units outside of the frequency block range will experience substantial signal loss and very short operating range. USB Port Standard USB Version 1.1 connector for setup and control of the VRM from computer systems (Windows® 2000 or XP only) with a USB interface.

Venue Receiver-Quick Start Guide

Preliminary Copy 08-16-04 Setup and Operation Using LCD Use the following procedures to setup and operate the Venue System using the front panel LCD, pushbuttons and controls. These procedures assume there is at least one receiver module installed and that receiver module is installed in Slot 1. If there is at least one receiver module installed, but it is not in Slot 1, then use the lowest numbered slot where a receiver module is installed as the starting point for the following procedures. For detailed information on the functions and setup screens used for these procedures, refer to the Venue System Reference Manual. Resetting to Factory Defaults Resetting to Factory Defaults can be of great benefit when everything is going wrong and it's time to start back at the beginning. This is done by powering off the Venue System, then pressing and holding Receiver Select buttons 5 and 6 while powering up the system. The Factory Default Settings are: SetUpRx Level +00 dBu Phase NORMAL TxBatt 9V ALK SmartNR NORMAL PilotBP NORMAL Compat Dig. Hybrid Tuning NORMAL MODE DivMode Switched LockSet Lockset NOT LOCKED System Setup Checklist The following is a general guideline for setting up the Venue System. It assumes that inventory has been taken and the general system configuration has been determined. Locate Clear Channels Set Diversity Modes Set Compatibility Modes, Audio Levels, etc. Set Transmitter and Receiver Module Channels Adjusting Audio Output Walk Test Locate Clear Channels Finding clear operating frequencies for multiple channel receivers, such as the Venue System, is a bit more complicated than single channel receivers. This is due to intermodulation, or interference from other transmitters. Minimizing this problem is critical to ensure quality audio. Regardless of which procedure is used to locate a clear channel, the clear channels discovered need to be compared with those listed on the Compatible Frequency Chart to ensure minimal intermodulation problems. (See Frequency Coordination.) Using a Tuning Group to Locate a Clear Channel 1. Ensure all associated transmitters are turned off, then press Receiver Select Button "1." (See Venue System Controls and Functions in Venue Reference Manual.) 2. Use the MENU/SELECT control to access the Tuning Setup Screen, select "GROUP a," then press the BACK button until the Overview Screen is displayed. 5. Press Receiver Select Button "1" again to display the Receiver Detail Screen. 6. Rotate the MENU/SELECT control through the eight preselected frequencies for Tuning Group "a" while observing the RF Signal Strength meter in the Receiver Detail Screen. Any signal displayed indicates RF Interference. No RF signal strength indicates a clear channel. Record the Transmitter Frequency Select Switch Setting for all clear channels found. 7. Repeat for the remaining factory tuning groups (b, c and d). Compare the frequencies of the clear channels with the Compatible Frequency Chart to determine which channels are intermodulation free and can be used for the production. (See Frequency Coordination.) Caution Not referring to the Frequency Compatibility Chart may result in unwanted intermodulation problems.

Rio Rancho, NM – USA Preliminary Copy 08-16-04 Using Scan to Find Clear Channels In crowded RF environments, it may not be possible to find enough clear channels using a Tuning Group. The internal spectrum scanner can be used to find clear channels. The Scan Function automatically selects two receivers (on from each frequency block) for spectrum scanning purposes. Normally, these receiver modules are "1" and "4." (See Scan Function in Venue Reference Manual.) 1. Ensure all associated transmitters are turned off and all Receiver Modules are set to NORMAL tuning mode. (See Tuning Setup Screen in Venue Reference Manual.) 2. Use the MENU/SELECT control to access Scan. (See Scan Function in Venue Reference Manual.) Allow the spectrum scanner to make several passes, then press the Function button to enter "Stop Mode." 3. Press Receiver Select button 1, then rotate the MENU/SELECT control while watching the cursor for Receiver Module 1. Stop in areas of minimal RF interference. 4. Press the Function button again to Zoom in and observe the area in greater detail. Rotate the MENU/SELECT control to zero in on an area with the least RF interference. Record the Transmitter Frequency Select Switch Setting for that frequency. 5. Press the Function button twice to return to Stop Mode and repeat Steps 3 and 4. Record the Transmitter Frequency Select Switch Settings for all the clear channels found. 6. Press Receiver Select button 4 and repeat Steps 3 through 5 for the selected receiver module in the upper frequency block. 7. Compare the frequencies of the clear channels with the Compatible Frequency Chart to determine which channels can be used for the production. (See Frequency Coordination.) Caution Not referring to the Frequency Compatibility Chart may result in unwanted intermodulation problems. Set Diversity Modes The Venue System offers three different Diversity modes of operation: SmartDiversity™ (switched), OptiBlend™ (ratio diversity) and Frequency Diversity. Regardless of which diversity mode is selected, receiver modules are always paired using the following combinations: 1-2, 3-4 and 5-6. However, in switched diversity operation, the individual Receiver Modules operate independently with each module having its own set of controls and indica- tors. (See SmartDiversity™ in Venue Reference Manual.) In ratio diversity and frequency diversity modes, the paired receiver modules act as a set. Pressing the Receiver Select button for one member of the pair has the effect of selecting or operating on both receiver modules in the pair. (See OptiBlend™ and Frequency Diversity in Venue Reference Manual.) Frequency diversity adds another facet in that it uses two transmitters requiring the transmitter outputs to be balanced in order for this mode to function correctly. (See Frequency Diversity Mode Audio Balancing.) SmartDiversity (Switched Diversity) Setup 1. To set a receiver module pair for SmartDiversity™ operation, navigate to the DivMode Setup Screen. 2. Press the front panel Receiver Select Button for one of the receiver modules in the pair and then rotate the MENU/SELECT control to display "Switched." The Receiver Module boxes on the screen bottom will display "SWI" for both the selected receiver an its compliment. (In the example, Receiver Select button 5 or 6 was pressed.) Transmitter Frequency Select Switch Setting

Venue Receiver-Quick Start Guide

Preliminary Copy 08-16-04 Compatibility Mode 3. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the remaining receiver module pairs to be set to switched diversity operation. OptiBlend (Ratio Diversity) Setup 1. To set a receiver module pair for OptiBlend (ratio diversity) operation, navigate to the DivMode Setup Screen. 2. Press the front panel Receiver Select Button for either Receiver Module in the pair to be used for OptiBlend diversity. (In the example, Receiver Select button 5 or 6 was pressed.) 3. Rotate the MENU/SELECT control to display "Ratio". The Receiver Module boxes on the screen bottom will display "RAT" for both the selected receiver an its compliment. 4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the remaining receiver module pairs to be set to ratio diversity operation. Frequency Diversity Setup Frequency Diversity differs from the other two diversity modes in that it uses two receiver modules and two transmitters with each receiver module/transmitter combination operating on a different frequency. In order for Frequency Diversity to function properly, the audio outputs of the two transmitters must be balanced. (See Frequency Diversity Mode Audio Balancing to properly balance the audio output from each transmitter.) Note Both transmitters must be the same model. 1. To set a receiver module pair for frequency operation, navigate to the DivMode Setup Screen. 2. Press the front panel Receiver Select Button for either Receiver Module in the pair to be used for frequency diversity. 3. Rotate the MENU/SELECT control to display "Frequency". The Receiver Module boxes on the screen bottom will display "FRQ" for both the selected receiver an its compliment. 4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the remaining receiver module pairs to be set to frequency diversity operation. Set Compatibility Modes, Audio Levels, etc. This procedure assumes that the external equipment has already been connected to the appropriate XLR Audio Output Jacks on the VRM rear panel. For receiver modules set to switched diversity, each receiver module in the diversity pair is set independently of the other member of the pair. For receiver modules that are part of a ratio diversity or frequency diversity pair, setting the compatibility mode, audio levels, etc. for one member of the diversity pair, sets the same parameter for the other member of the diversity pair. The exception is for frequency diversity, battery status monitoring can be set for each individual transmitter. Setting Compatibility Modes Five compatibility modes are available for each receiver module to match various transmitter types. They are: Selection Abbreviation Dig. Hybrid HYB Mode 3 M.3 200 Series 200 100 Series 100 IFB IFB The Compatibility Mode for each receiver module must match the transmitter associated with that module. 1. To set a receiver's compatibility mode, navigate to the Compat Setup Screen. 2. Use the Receiver Select buttons to select Receiver Module 1. 3. Rotate the MENU/SELECT control to display the desired Compatibility Mode. An abbreviation for the mode selected will be displayed in the Receiver Module box for the selected receiver(s).

Modular Digital Hybrid Wireless™ Reeiver System

Rio Rancho, NM – USA Preliminary Copy 08-16-04 5. Use the Receiver Select buttons to select the next Receiver Module, or next receiver module pair, and repeat Step 3. Setting Audio Output Levels This sets the audio output level at the Audio Output XLR Jacks. The front panel LEVEL control is only for setting the audio output level in the PHONES jack. Note In OptiBlend (ratio diversity) and Frequency Diversity modes, the Receiver Modules are paired (1-2, 3-4, 5-6). Setting the audio level output on one of the receivers in the pair, sets the audio output to the same level on its compliment. 1. Set the audio input level for any equipment connected to the Venue System's Audio Output XLR Jacks to minimum. (This is to avoid annoying or loud noises during setup. 2. Set the audio input level for the equipment connected to the XLR jack associated with Receiver Module 1 to the equipment manufacturer's recommendations. 3. Navigate to the Level Setup Screen, then use the Receiver Select buttons to select receiver module 1 and set the audio output level to 0 dBu. Note The 0 dBu setting is a starting point. The key is to provide as high a level signal as possible without overdriving the input to external equipment connected to the XLR Jack associated with the receiver module, or receiver module pair. This will minimize possible noise from the cables. Generally speaking, the higher the output level in the cables, the less you need to worry about cable noise. 4. Press Function to turn on the 1 kHz Tone (the Tone indicator will reverse, or go black with white letters) and rotate the MENU/SELECT control to optimize the input to the external equipment. Selected Receiver Output Level Tone On/Off Indicator (Shown in Off position.) Receiver Modules Caution The 1 kHz reference tone is equivalent to full modulation at the transmitter, i.e., it is loud. 6. Repeat Steps 2 through 4 until the audio output level on all receiver modules has been set. Setting Transmitter Battery Status Monitoring 1. Determine the types of transmitters being used and the types of batteries installed in the transmitters. Note In 200 Series and Digital Hybrid (400 Series) compatibility modes, battery telemetry is available and all TxBatt modes are valid. In all other compatibility modes, only the battery timer modes are valid. (See TxBatt Setup Screen in Venue System Reference Manual.) 2. Access the TxBatt Setup Screen. 3. Select Receiver Module 1. Note If the selected receiver module is part of a ratio diversity pair, then setting the TxBatt type monitoring for one receiver in the pair automatically sets the TxBatt type monitoring for the other receiver in the pair. If the selected receiver module is part of a frequency diversity pair, then each receiver in the pair is matched to a different transmitter so the TxBatt type monitoring setting is set independently of the other receiver module in the diversity pair. 4. Rotate the MENU/SELECT control to display the desired transmitter battery type, or timer for the style of battery used by the transmitter (9V or AA). (See TxBatt Setup Screen in Venue System Reference Manual.) 5. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 for each receiver module. Setting Noise Reduction 1. Access the SmartNR Setup Screen. 2. Select Receiver Module 1. Note If the selected Receiver Module is part of a ratio or frequency diversity pair, then setting the audio output level for one receiver in the pair automatically sets the other receiver in the pair to the same setting. Shortcut It's possible to shorten setup times by copying the parameter of the currently selected receiver to other receivers. This is done by pressing and holding the Receiver Select button for current receiver module and pressing the Receiver Select buttons for all other receiver modules which are to receive the same parameter. Selected Receiver Receiver Modules Monitoring Mode Elapsed Time Current Transmitter Battery Voltage

Preliminary Copy 08-16-04 3. Rotate the MENU/SELECT control to display the desired noise reduction setting: NORMAL, FULL or OFF. (See SmartNR Setup Screen in Venue System Reference Manual.) 4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 for each receiver module, or receiver module pair. Setting Transmitter and Receiver Operating Frequencies Using the clear channels discovered and recorded in the Locate Clear Channels section, refer to the Compatible Frequency Chart and select channels free from inter- modulation problems. (See Frequency Coordination.) The following procedure uses Receiver Module 1 to describe setting up transmitter and receiver channels. In the event there is no receiver module installed in slot 1, the same procedure can apply to any of the receiver modules. Note The following procedure does not address possible problems associated with non-Lectrosonic equipment. Interference problems from non-Lectrosonics equipment is beyond the scope of this quick- start guide. 1. From the Overview Screen, press Receiver Select button "1" to Display the Receiver Detail Screen for a Receiver Module 1. Select a transmitter with the same Frequency Block as Receiver Module 1 and set the transmitter's Frequency Select Switches to match the operating frequency assigned to Receiver Module 1. Note In switched diversity mode, each transmitter/receiver module combination operates independently. In ratio diversity mode, one transmitter is assigned to a receiver pair. In frequency diversity mode, two transmitter/receiver module combinations are paired. The diversity pairs are always 1-2, 3-4, 5-6. 2. Repeat Step 1 for all the transmitter/receiver module combinations. 3. Turn on the transmitter one at a time and observe the RF Signal strength meter for the associated receiver module in the Overview Screen. 4. Repeat Step 3 until all transmitters are turned on and good signal strength is verified at each of the associated receiver modules, or receiver module pairs. 5. Turn off one of the transmitters and observe the RF signal strength for the corresponding receiver or receiver pair in either the Overview Screen or the Receiver Detail Screen. The RF signal should drop to a minimum. If the RF signal does drop to a minimum, turn the transmitter back on and repeat Step 3 through 4 for all transmitter/receiver module combinations. If RF is still present, an intermodulation problem may exist, or external interference that was not detected before may be present. Select another compatible frequency and repeat the entire procedure. Note Anytime a transmitter/receiver module combination is tuned to a new frequency, it is necessary to repeat the entire procedure to ensure the new frequency does not introduce new intermodulation problems. Frequency Diversity Mode Audio Balancing In this diversity mode, receiver modules are paired (1-2, 3-4 or 5-6), but each receiver module of the pair is associated with its own transmitter. Frequency Diversity has two modes of operation: normal mode and test mode. Test mode is automatically acti- vated when the DivMode Setup Screen is active and Frequency Diversity is selected. In this mode, the audio is always blended 50/50 to allow balancing of the trans- mitters. On exiting the DivMode Screen, normal mode is activated and the blending ratio depends on the RF signal strengths from each transmitter. Note In Frequency Diversity mode, both transmitters must be the same type and model. For example, a Lectrosonics 200 Series transmitter and Digital Hybrid (400 Series) transmitter will not work as a pair in Frequency Diversity Mode regardless of the Compatibility Mode setting. Using identical transmitters is highly recommended. 1. Verify that the compatibility modes of the receiver modules match the associated transmitters and that the transmitters are of the same type and model. 2. Setup the transmitters according to the manufacturer's recommendations. 3. Navigate to the DivMode Setup Screen. 4. Plug a set of headphones into the front panel PHONES jack to monitor the blended output. (It is also possible to monitor the output via Selected Receiver SmartNR Mode Receiver Module Boxes

Monitor the blended output while adjusting the Mic Level controls (audio volume) of one of the transmitters. If the output does not null, then reset the transmitter's Mic Level control and press the Function button to invert (INVT) the audio output phase on the second receiver of the Frequency Diversity pair. Repeat the procedure until the deepest null is achieved. Note It may be necessary to toggle the INVT function several times until the deepest null is achieved. 6. Press the Function button to ensure the INVT function is in the Off position. 7. Repeat Steps 1 through 7 for each receiver module pair set to Frequency Diversity Mode. INVT (Shown in Off Position

Venue Receiver-Quick Start Guide

Preliminary Copy 08-16-04 Installing LecNet2™ Software and USB Driver Part of the LecNet2™ software package is the VRpanel for the Venue Receiver. This Graphical User Interface (GUI) is designed to allow easy setup and monitoring of the Venue Receiver using a computer system running the Windows® 2000 or XP operating system. Installing LecNet2™ Software 1. Remove any previously installed versions of LecNet2™ software. (This will ensure you are using the latest release.) 2. Insert the LecNet2™ program disk supplied with the Venue Receiver into the CD-ROM drive on the computer system that will be used to set up and control the Venue Receiver. 3. The CD should automatically start the installation procedure. If it doesn't, click "Start" on the Windows Task Bar then click "Run..." Enter the Drive letter ("E" in the example) followed by "Setup.exe" as shown below. 4. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the LecNet2™ software and the VR Panel for the Venue Receiver. Installing the LecNet2™ USB Driver There are two ways to connect a Windows®-based computer system to the VRM: a USB cable or an RS-232 cable. Although the USB port offers increased speed and convenience over standard RS-232 links, it does require the installation of a LecNet2™ USB driver. The LecNet2™ USB driver is not part of the standard Windows® 2000 and XP driver libraries; therefore, connecting a computer system to the VR for the first time differs from subsequent installations. There are a few differences between installing the LecNet2™ USB drivers on Windows 2000 versus Windows XP systems. USB Driver Installation (Windows XP) - First Time When the VR is connected to a Windows XP computer system for the very first time, the Windows® Found New Hardware Wizard automatically opens. Use the following procedure to install the LecNet2™ USB driver using the Wizard. 1. Place the LecNet2™ Installation Disk in the PC’s CD-ROM drive. 2. On the first page of the Wizard, select Install from a list or specific location (Advanced) and click "Next>" to continue. 3. Select "Search for the best driver in these locations.", then check the box for "Search removable media (floppy, CD-ROM...)" and click Next> to continue to the next page..

If a dialog box opens warning you that the driver has not passed Windows Logo Testing, click "Continue Anyway". 5. When the driver installation is complete, the final page of the Wizard appears. Click "Finish" to close the Found New Hardware Wizard. USB Driver Installation (Windows XP) - Subsequent Installations The Windows XP operating system regards all LecNet2™ devices as separate USB devices because each has a unique serial number. Because of this, Windows XP will want to install the USB driver every time it encounters a LecNet2™ device whose serial number it does not recognize. However, the process is simplified if the LecNet2™ USB driver has already been installed at least once before on the same computer system. Use the following procedure if the LecNet2™ USB driver was previously installed on the computer system. 1. On the first page of the Wizard, select Install the software automatically Recommended) then click "Next>". 2. Windows will discover the previously installed driver . If a dialog box opens warning you that the driver has not passed Windows Logo Testing, click "Continue Anyway". 3. When the driver installation is complete, the final page of the Wizard appears.

Help Menu Help provides access to the online Help file, VRpanel demonstration mode and an About Box featuring the VRpanel's current version number. The Help file offers users detailed information on the setup and operation of the Venue System. Client Area The Client Area holds one or more panes, each graphi- cally representing one VR system. Each pane, in turn, holds from one to six plug-in receiver modules (receiver modules). An information line at the top of each pane identifies the VR System USB Identification and fre- quency block range. Popup Menu Because VRpanel is capable of monitoring and control- ling more than one VR system, none of the commands available through the Menu Bar are available for indi- vidual systems. To work directly with a specific VR system, right-click anywhere in its pane to open a popup menu. This menu includes commands for configuring the VRs receiver modules, running the spectrum scan- ner, real-time recording of a walk test, resetting the current VR system back to factory defaults or deleting the current VR system from VRpanel. Set Up VR The Set Up VR dialog is used to control all the stored settings for the currently selected VR system. This dialog allows for convenient selection and setup of all installed receiver modules in the currently selected VR system and global settings for the VRM. It consists of three sections: Plug-In Receiver Selection, Plug-In Receiver Settings and Master Settings. Changes to any of the Plug-In Receiver Settings are done in real time. Spectrum Scan There are three sections to the Spectrum Scan dialog box: cursors, spectrum scanner and command buttons. Cursors controls cursor selection (and thus the tuning of the selected receiver module). The cursor for the selected receiver module appears as a dashed line in the spectrum scanning section and its frequency detail is displayed to the right of the cursor radio buttons. This information includes the frequency block number, transmitter frequency select switch settings, operating frequency and TV channel. When this dialog initially appears, a cursor will be located at the set operating frequency for each installed receiver module, or receiver module pair. Clicking Run starts the spectrum scanner. A separate cursor moves to identify the real-time location of the scan within each frequency block. Moving any of the cursors automatically changes the operating frequency for the corresponding Receiver Module, or module pair depending on the diversity mode.

Preliminary Copy 08-16-04 Frequency Coordination Intermodulation interference is a problem constantly lurking in the background, especially when working in environments were multiple productions are taking place simultaneously in relative close proximity. In these cases, proper frequency coordination is a must. There are basically three methods coordinate frequencies: Use the Compatible Frequency Chart Scan for clear channels (See Scan Function and Using Scan to Find Clear Channels) Call Lectrosonics Compatible Frequency Chart Because the Venue System includes one to six Receiver Modules per unit, each unit can handle up to six inde- pendent wireless channels. Considering that multiple Venue Systems can be used in a production, coordinat- ing frequencies to minimize interference between these channels can be a daunting process. The Compatible Frequency Chart was designed to assist in minimizing intermodulation problems for multiple channel wireless systems. It does this by identifying potential intermodulation problems and listing compatible frequencies and frequency groups. This chart can be used with all Digital Hybrid Wireless™ (400 Series) receivers. The Compatible Frequency Chart divides the frequency blocks used in the North American market into Row 1 and Row 2, then further divides each row into two groups of eight frequencies each. These frequency groups are labeled A and B and C and D, and correspond to the factory set frequency groups (Groups A, B, C and D) described in the Tuning Setup Screen. (See Compatible Frequency Chart.) Understanding and using the Compatible Frequency Chart is not as difficult as it first appears. There are a few basic rules to follow: Note Refer to the Compatibility Frequency Chart's Compatible and Incompatible frequency combinations. (Only frequency blocks 21 and 22 are shown for illustrative purposes.) Rule No. 1 Row 1 and Row 2 live in two different worlds.

Venue Receiver-Quick Start Guide

Preliminary Copy 08-16-04 the production that are intermodulation free, then refine the list during system setup. Using the Scan Function Refer to the section titled "Using Scan to Find Clear Channels" for details on how to use the built-in spectrum scanner. Interference can result from a wide variety of sources including TV station signals, other wireless equipment in use nearby, or from intermodulation within the Venue system itself. The RF spectrum analyzer built into the Venue system uses a receiver in each frequency block to scan the tunable spectrum and find clear channels with little or no interference. After scanning and finding the needed number of clear channels, one final procedure is necessary to verify the compatibility of the chosen frequencies. Turn on all transmitters and receivers and verify there is a strong RF signal for each receiver. Turn each transmit- ter off one at a time and observe the RF level indicator on the matching receiver. The RF level should disappear or drop to a very low level. If it does not, change fre- quency on that receiver and transmitter and try it again. Any time a frequency is changed on any of the systems in use, you must start at the beginning and go through this procedure for all systems. This will test for higher order intermodulation from all signal sources and avoid interference. Call Lectrosonics Lectrosonics uses a proprietary computer program to perform thousands of calculations and identify various interfering signals. Potential problems and trouble areas can be identified in advance, and proposed new frequen- cies or other solutions can be suggested. This service is offered to authorized Lectrosonics dealers and other customers who are using LECTRO™ or Lectrosonics® wireless microphone and wireless IFB systems.

Modular Digital Hybrid Wireless™ Reeiver System

Rio Rancho, NM – USA Preliminary Copy 08-16-04 The Venue System is designed for rack mounting. Although it can be operated with two right angle BNC antennas, it is suggested for maximum reception to use remote antennas such as the SNA600 or ALP700. Position the remote antennas at least three or four feet apart and not within three or four feet of large metal surfaces. If this is not possible, try to position the antennas so that they are as far away from the metal surface as is practical. It is also good to position them so that there is a direct “line of sight” between the transmit- ter and the receiver antennas. In situations where the operating range is less than about 100 feet, the antenna positioning is much less critical. However, the length of the cabling between antennas and the system is critical. Long cable runs can experience serious signal loss. Lectrosonics offers in- line RF amplifiers suitable for compensating for this signal loss. Contact your dealer or the factory for more information. A wireless transmitter sends a radio signal out in all directions. This signal will often bounce off nearby walls, ceilings, etc. and a strong reflection can arrive at the receiver's antennas along with the direct signal. If the Antenna Use and Placement direct and reflected signals are out of phase with each other a cancellation may occur. The result is a “dropout.” A dropout can sound like audible noise (hiss or swish- ing), or in severe cases, it may result in a complete loss of both the carrier and the sound. Moving the transmitter even a few inches will change the sound of the dropout, or may even eliminate it. A dropout situation also may be either better or worse as a crowd fills or leaves the room. The Venue System offers a several sophisticated diver- sity designs which can overcome most dropout prob- lems. In the event, however, that you do encounter a dropout problem, first try moving the one of the remote antennas at least three or four feet from its current location. This may alleviate the dropout problem at that location. If dropouts are still a problem, try moving the antennas to entirely different locations. Lectrosonics transmitters radiate power very efficiently, and our receivers are very sensitive. This reduces dropouts to an insignificant level. If, however, you do encounter dropouts frequently, call the factory or consult your dealer. There is probably a simple solution.

Preliminary Copy 08-16-04 You will save yourself time and trouble if you will follow the steps below: A. DO NOT return equipment to the factory for repair without first contacting us by letter or by phone. We need to know the nature of the problem, the model number and the serial number of the equipment. We also need a phone number where you can be reached 8 am to 4 pm (Mountain Standard Time). B. After receiving your request, we will issue you a return authorization number (R.A.). This number will help speed your repair through our receiving and repair departments. The return authorization number must be clearly shown on the outside of the shipping container. Returning Units for Repair C. Pack the equipment carefully and ship to us, shipping costs prepaid. If necessary, we can provide you with the proper packing materials. UPS is usually the best way to ship the units. Heavy units should be “double- boxed” for safe transport. D. We also strongly recommend that you insure the equipment, since we cannot be responsible for loss of or damage to equipment that you ship. Of course, we insure the equipment when we ship it back to you. Mailing address: Shipping address: Telephones: Lectrosonics, Inc. Lectrosonics, Inc. Regular: (505) 892-4501 PO Box 15900 581 Laser Rd.

Make sure you have followed the setup procedure and operating instructions. Check out the interconnecting cords and then go through the TROUBLESHOOTING section in the manual. We strongly recommend that you do not try to repair the equipment yourself and do not have the local repair shop attempt anything other than the simplest repair. If the repair is more complicated than a broken wire or loose connection, send the unit to the factory for repair and service. Don’t attempt to adjust any controls inside the units. Once set at the factory, the various controls and trimmers do not drift with age or vibration and never require readjustment. There are no adjustments inside that will make a malfunctioning unit start working. LECTROSONICS’ service department is equipped and staffed to quickly repair your equipment. In warranty repairs are made at no charge in accordance with the terms of the warranty. Out-of-warranty repairs are charged at a modest flat rate plus parts and shipping. Since it takes almost as much time and effort to deter- mine what is wrong as it does to make the repair, there is a charge for an exact quotation. We will be happy to quote approximate charges by phone for out-of-warranty repairs.
