Selecting the BLUETOOTH audio streaming playback quality (Codec)
This system enables you to perform playback settings of, not only SBC, but also AAC and LDAC, so that you can enjoy
high quality sound via BLUETOOTH connection.
Hint
LDAC is an audio coding technology developed by Sony that enables the transmission of High-Resolution (Hi-Res) Audio
content, even over a BLUETOOTH connection. Unlike other BLUETOOTH compatible coding technologies such as SBC, it
operates without any down-conversion of the Hi-Res Audio content
*1
, and allows approximately three times more data
*2
than
those other technologies to be transmitted over a BLUETOOTH wireless network with unprecedented sound quality, by means of
efficient coding and optimized packetization.
Note
You can enjoy higher sound quality when the source device is compatible with AAC/LDAC and this function is set to [AUTO].
However, the sound may be interrupted depending on the conditions of the BLUETOOTH communication. If this happens, set the
function to [SBC].
