This really sounds like a cabling issue or even an RF jam from a nearby digital signal. I would validate the unit works with other devices. Also, are you powering using internal batteries? That’s good because sometime the issue is power.
After validation, make sure you are line to line or mic to mic and also make sure your actual mic/cable is not boning you. Basically you really need to validate that your unit and accessories are in good working order. I have an EX3 and hitch hike my Lectos all the time with no problems but that “whining” sounds familiar. Do the validation and then attack the camera.
If you have are sure your unit is working well with other units, then consider you may have an open ground mic cable ground and try swapping cables. -
Michael is right. Transfer is no longer valid and even Browser has issues. Get Catalyst Browse and your troubles will be over.

That’s my fear. Just don’t know how that shit happens sitting on a bloody shelf.
I got a quote from an authorized Sony repair guy here in Atlanta, of about a grand. That’s tough to take when the camera only cost like what, $6K?Price we pay for freedom I guess!
Thanks for the response. You have pretty much parroted other responses.

Just took delivery of my PXW FS7. Going to be a great camera. Sill waiting for a few accessories and also still sorting out some stupid Sony engineering issues.
One is you can not assign different output signals to the SDI out. They are either on or off and both pass the same info, though SDI2 will allow menu pass through. Doesn’t seem to be anyway to downcovert to SD either which is helpful when using a non HD video assist by TransVideo. That’s a stone cold drag.
But the biggest issue by far is there doesn’t seem to be any way to jam sync time code without having to also supply video sync. That’s just crazy talk. Not sure how I can talk to a smart slate. I generally jam sync a 788 recorder which has a great clock. Then a couple of times a day I just do a security jam. Now I reckon I will have to set the preset clock as close as possible and a couple of times a day jam from camera to the 788. That’s silly. Hopefully I’ve missed something and will be guided through.
