Whenever Bluetooth is selected, the RETRO Stereo 50 will spend 20 seconds “searching” for 

     the last connected device. If it cannot find a previously connected device, it will go into 

    Auto-pairing mode for 5 minutes before falling back to Sleep mode.

Under Sleep Mode, a previously 

 device can be connected to the iFi RETRO Stereo 50 by 

    selecting “Connect” on the smart device.

Under Sleep Mode, for a previously 

 device, one needs to put the iFi RETRO Stereo 50 into 

    pairing mode by pressing the “Pairing” button.

iFi RETRO Stereo 50 can store up to 8 paired devices.

Smart devices (phone/pad) can also be connected to the iFi RETRO Stereo 50 using the USB input. 

    For iOS devices, a Lightning to USB Camera Adapter is required. For Android devices, an OTG cable

    is required. The remaining process is the same as for a computer connected via USB.

Smart devices will require special audio playback softwave  to offer DSD and High-Resolution audio.

#  Currently, Hibiki and Onkyo HF player are available in the iTunes store for  OS devices
