Selecting the BLUETOOTH audio streaming playback quality (Codec)
You can enable AAC, LDAC or SBC codec reception from a BLUETOOTH device.
AAC/LDAC can be selected only when the BLUETOOTH device supports AAC/LDAC.
Hint
LDAC is an audio coding technology developed by Sony that enables the transmission of High-Resolution (Hi-Res) Audio
content, even over a BLUETOOTH connection. Unlike other BLUETOOTH compatible coding technologies such as SBC, it
operates without any down-conversion of the Hi-Res Audio content
*1
, and allows approximately three times more data
*2
than
those other technologies to be transmitted over a BLUETOOTH wireless network with unprecedented sound quality, by means of
efficient coding and optimized packetization.
Note
You can enjoy high quality sound if AAC or LDAC is selected. If you cannot listen to AAC or LDAC sound from your device or the
sound is interrupted, select [SBC].
If you change this setting while the system is connected to a BLUETOOTH device, the BLUETOOTH device will be disconnected.
To connect to the BLUETOOTH device, perform the BLUETOOTH connection again.
