Connecting and playing the Bluetooth-
enabled device
You can wirelessly enjoy music files stored in a smartphone
or other Bluetooth-enabled device. The coverage area is 48
feet (15 meters).
• The Bluetooth-enabled device needs to support the
A2DP profile.
• Note that connection is not always guaranteed with all
Bluetooth-enabled devices.
Pairing
Pairing is necessary when using the Bluetooth-enabled
device for the first time. Before starting the procedure, learn
how to enable the Bluetooth setting function and to connect
with other devices on the Bluetooth-enabled device.
1.
Press BLUETOOTH on the remote controller.
The unit enters the pairing mode and the BLUETOOTH
indicator starts flashing.
2. While the BLUETOOTH indicator is flashing,
complete connection on the Bluetooth-enabled
device in the nearby area within about 2 minutes.
If the name of this unit is displayed on the Bluetooth-
enabled device's display, select this unit. Paring will be
completed after a short time.
• If a password is requested, enter "0000".
• When connecting the unit to any other Bluetooth-
enabled device, start pairing by holding down
BLUETOOTH until the BLUETOOTH indicator starts
flashing. This unit can store the data of up to ten
paired devices.
Playing Sound of the Bluetooth-enabled Device
If the unit is on and the Bluetooth-enabled device is
connected, the input will be automatically switched to
BLUETOOTH. Play music in this state.
• It may take about a minute until connection is established
when the unit is on since the Bluetooth function takes
some time to start up.
• If the volume setting on the Bluetooth-enabled device is
low, the sound will not be output from this unit.
• Due to the characteristics of Bluetooth wireless
technology, the sound produced on this unit may slightly
be behind the sound played on the Bluetooth-enabled
device.
