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. See 
“Specifications” for details on the supported 
BLUETOOTH version and profiles.

Note

 

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:

Note

 

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.
