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 2.0

Supported Bluetooth profiles:

A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile)

AVRCP (Audio Video Remote Control Profile)

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

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.

Sony cannot be held liable in any way for damages or other loss 

resulting from information leaks during communication using 

Bluetooth technology.

Bluetooth communication is not necessarily guaranteed with all 

Bluetooth devices that have the same profile as this system.

Bluetooth devices connected with this system must comply with
