Precautions
On safety
ˎ
Completely disconnect the power cord (mains
lead) from the wall outlet (mains) if it is not
going to be used for an extended period of time.
When unplugging the unit, always grip the plug.
Never pull the cord itself.
ˎ
Should any solid object or liquid get into the
system, unplug the system, and have it checked
by qualified personnel before operating it again.
ˎ
The power cord can be changed only by a
qualified service facility.
On placement
ˎ
Do not place the system in an inclined position
or in locations that are extremely hot, cold, dusty,
dirty, or humid or lacking adequate ventilation,
or subject to vibration, direct sunlight or a bright
light.
ˎ
Be careful when placing the system on surfaces
that have been specially treated (for example,
with wax, oil, polish) as staining or discoloration
of the surface may result.
ˎ
Condensation may form on outer surfaces or
internally, and cause the system to malfunction
if the system is suddenly moved from a cold to a
warm environment. If condensation forms, turn
off the system, and leave the system off until
the moisture evaporates. Do not use the system
until the condensation has fully evaporated.
On heat buildup
ˎ
Heat buildup on the unit during operation is
normal and is not cause for alarm.
ˎ
Do not touch the cabinet if it has been used
continuously at a high volume because the
cabinet may have become hot.
ˎ
Do not obstruct the ventilation holes.
On the speaker system
The built-in speaker system is not magnetically
shielded, and the picture on nearby TV sets may
become magnetically distorted. In this situation,
turn off the TV, wait 15 to 30 minutes, and turn it
back on.
If there is no improvement, move the system far
away from the TV.
Cleaning the cabinet
Clean this system with a soft cloth slightly
moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not
use any type of abrasive pads, scouring powder,
or solvents, such as thinner, benzine, or alcohol.
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.
Notes
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:
In hospitals, on trains, and in airplanes
Near automatic doors or fire alarms
Notes
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.
Turning on or off the BLUETOOTH signal
You can connect to the system from a paired
BLUETOOTH device in all functions when the
system’s BLUETOOTH signal is set to on. The
BLUETOOTH signal is turned on by default.
Use the buttons on the panel to perform this
operation.
Hold down
and BLUETOOTH
on the unit
for about 3 seconds.
“BT ON” or “BT OFF” appears on the display.
Notes
ˎ
You cannot perform the following operations when
BLUETOOTH signal is set to off:
— Pairing with BLUETOOTH device
— Erasing the pairing information
— Using “App Remote” via BLUETOOTH
— Setting the BLUETOOTH Standby mode to “ON”
— Changing BT AAC ON/OFF setting
ˎ
When the BLUETOOTH signal is set to off, this system
cannot be detected and connection cannot be established
from BLUETOOTH device.
ˎ
If you touch the N-Mark on the panel with an NFC-
compatible smartphone, the BLUETOOTH signal will be set
to on automatically.
ˎ
When the power is turned off with the
button,
the BLUETOOTH ON/OFF setting is retained. When the
power cord is disconnected and then reconnected, the
BLUETOOTH setting will be set to on.
