BLUETOOTH wireless technology BLUETOOTH wireless technology is a short-range wireless technology linking digital devices, such as personal computers and digital still cameras. Using the BLUETOOTH wireless technology, you can operate the units involved within a range of about 10 meters. The BLUETOOTH wireless technology is commonly used between two devices, but a single device can be connected to multiple devices. You do not need wires to get connected as you do with a USB connection, and you do not need to place the devices face to face as you do with wireless infrared technology. You can use the technology with one BLUETOOTH device in your bag or pocket. BLUETOOTH wireless technology is a global standard supported by thousands of companies. These companies produce products that meet the global standard. Supported BLUETOOTH version and profiles Profile refers to a standard set of capabilities for various BLUETOOTH product capabilities. This system supports the following BLUETOOTH version and profiles. Supported BLUETOOTH version: BLUETOOTH Standard version 3.0 Supported BLUETOOTH profiles: A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) AVRCP (Audio Video Remote Control Profile) Notes ˎˎTo use a BLUETOOTH device connected to this system, the device must support the same profile as this system. Note that the functions of the BLUETOOTH device may be different depending on the specifications of the device, even if it has the same profile as this system. ˎˎBecause of the properties of BLUETOOTH wireless technology, playback on this system is slightly delayed compared with audio playback on the transmitting device. Effective communication range BLUETOOTH devices should be used within approximately 10 meters (unobstructed distance) of each other. The effective communication range may become shorter under the following conditions. When a person, metal object, wall or other obstruction is between the devices with a BLUETOOTH connection Locations where a wireless LAN is installed Around microwave ovens that are in use Locations where other electromagnetic waves occur Effects of other devices BLUETOOTH devices and wireless LAN (IEEE 802.11b/g) use the same frequency band (2.4 GHz). When using your BLUETOOTH device near a device with wireless LAN capability, electromagnetic interference may occur. This could result in lower data transfer rates, noise, or inability to connect. If this happens, try the following remedies: Try connecting this system and BLUETOOTH mobile phone or BLUETOOTH device when you are at least 10 meters away from the wireless LAN equipment. Turn off the power to the wireless LAN equipment when using your BLUETOOTH device within 10 meters. Effects on other devices The radio waves broadcast by this system may interfere with the operation of some medical devices. Since this interference may result in malfunction, always turn off the power on this system, BLUETOOTH mobile phone and BLUETOOTH device in the following locations: In hospitals, on trains, in airplanes, at gas stations, and any place where flammable gasses may be present Near automatic doors or fire alarms Notes ˎˎThis system supports security functions that comply with the BLUETOOTH specification as a means of ensuring security during communication using BLUETOOTH technology. However, this security may be insufficient depending on the setting contents and other factors, so always be careful when performing communication using BLUETOOTH technology. ˎˎSony cannot be held liable in any way for damages or other loss resulting from information leaks during communication using BLUETOOTH technology. ˎˎBLUETOOTH communication is not necessarily guaranteed with all BLUETOOTH devices that have the same profile as this system. ˎˎBLUETOOTH devices connected with this system must comply with the BLUETOOTH specification prescribed by the BLUETOOTH SIG, Inc., and must be certified to comply. However, even when a device complies with the BLUETOOTH specification, there may be cases where the characteristics or specifications of the BLUETOOTH device make it impossible to connect, or may result in different control methods, display or operation. ˎˎNoise may occur or the audio may cut off depending on the BLUETOOTH device connected with this system, the communications environment, or surrounding conditions.

BLUETOOTH wireless
technology
BLUETOOTH wireless technology is a short-range
wireless technology linking digital devices, such
as personal computers and digital still cameras.
Using the BLUETOOTH wireless technology, you
can operate the units involved within a range of
about 10 meters.
The BLUETOOTH wireless technology is commonly
used between two devices, but a single device
can be connected to multiple devices.
You do not need wires to get connected as you
do with a USB connection, and you do not need
to place the devices face to face as you do with
wireless infrared technology. You can use the
technology with one BLUETOOTH device in your
bag or pocket.
BLUETOOTH wireless technology is a global
standard supported by thousands of companies.
These companies produce products that meet the
global standard.
Supported BLUETOOTH version and
profiles
Profile refers to a standard set of capabilities
for various BLUETOOTH product capabilities.
This system supports the following BLUETOOTH
version and profiles.
Supported BLUETOOTH version:
BLUETOOTH Standard version 3.0
Supported BLUETOOTH profiles:
A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile)
AVRCP (Audio Video Remote Control Profile)
Notes
ˎ
To use a BLUETOOTH device connected to this system,
the device must support the same profile as this system.
Note that the functions of the BLUETOOTH device may be
different depending on the specifications of the device,
even if it has the same profile as this system.
ˎ
Because of the properties of BLUETOOTH wireless
technology, playback on this system is slightly delayed
compared with audio playback on the transmitting device.
Effective communication range
BLUETOOTH devices should be used within
approximately 10 meters (unobstructed distance)
of each other. The effective communication
range may become shorter under the following
conditions.
When a person, metal object, wall or other
obstruction is between the devices with a
BLUETOOTH connection
Locations where a wireless LAN is installed
Around microwave ovens that are in use
Locations where other electromagnetic waves
occur
Effects of other devices
BLUETOOTH devices and wireless LAN (IEEE
802.11b/g) use the same frequency band
(2.4 GHz). When using your BLUETOOTH device
near a device with wireless LAN capability,
electromagnetic interference may occur. This
could result in lower data transfer rates, noise,
or inability to connect. If this happens, try the
following remedies:
Try connecting this system and BLUETOOTH
mobile phone or BLUETOOTH device when you
are at least 10 meters away from the wireless
LAN equipment.
Turn off the power to the wireless LAN
equipment when using your BLUETOOTH
device within 10 meters.
Effects on other devices
The radio waves broadcast by this system may
interfere with the operation of some medical
devices. Since this interference may result in
malfunction, always turn off the power on
this system, BLUETOOTH mobile phone and
BLUETOOTH device in the following locations:
In hospitals, on trains, in airplanes, at gas
stations, and any place where flammable
gasses may be present
Near automatic doors or fire alarms
Notes
ˎ
This system supports security functions that comply with
the BLUETOOTH specification as a means of ensuring
security during communication using BLUETOOTH
technology. However, this security may be insufficient
depending on the setting contents and other factors, so
always be careful when performing communication using
BLUETOOTH technology.
ˎ
Sony cannot be held liable in any way for damages or other
loss resulting from information leaks during communication
using BLUETOOTH technology.
ˎ
BLUETOOTH communication is not necessarily guaranteed
with all BLUETOOTH devices that have the same profile as
this system.
ˎ
BLUETOOTH devices connected with this system must
comply with the BLUETOOTH specification prescribed
by the BLUETOOTH SIG, Inc., and must be certified to
comply. However, even when a device complies with the
BLUETOOTH specification, there may be cases where the
characteristics or specifications of the BLUETOOTH device
make it impossible to connect, or may result in different
control methods, display or operation.
ˎ
Noise may occur or the audio may cut off depending on
the BLUETOOTH device connected with this system, the
communications environment, or surrounding conditions.
