Q: 1. Will this unit work with wired Sony Lavs that are already individually powered by their in-line AA batteries?

A: It should but after working with the DR-X10 I wouldn't recommend it. A great idea not well executed.

Q: 2. I have receptor trouble wont let me pair if i press the pair button all the green leds turn on and then it shut off it self, any idea about the problem? Thanks

A: In order to assist you it would be helpful to know which transmitter you are using with the AVX EKP receiver. There are two options -- the Sennheiser SK AVX Digital Bodypack Transmitter - 1.9 GHz (B&H # SESKAVX4) and Sennheiser SKM AVX-835S Digital Handheld Microphone Transmitter - 1.9 GHz (B&H # SESKMAVX8354). The receiver and transmitter must both be powered on and within line of sight of each other in order to pair them. The transmitter and receiver need to be within close proximity and able to "see" each other during setup. Please be aware that other Sennheiser transmitters like those from the Evolution series or the XS series (which operate on the UHF band) or XSW-D series (which operates on the 2.4 GHz band) are not compatible for use with the AVX series receiver. Please contact us by phone or through live chat on the website if you have additional questions or if you would like further assistance to troubleshoot the problem.
