the system stops sound output for a short while. This is not
a malfunction.
The maximum power output will be lower when the AC
adaptor is disconnected.
In an extremely cold or hot environment, note the following
points.
When operating by the AC adaptor, charging may complete
too quickly, or may not be possible.
When operating on battery only, the system may stop after
the BATTERY/CHARGE indicator flashes (green) three times.
Charge the battery at least twice a year.
Repeated recharging causes the capacity of the battery to
decrease over time. When the battery life drops to half the
usual time, even after a full charge, contact your nearest
Sony dealer to replace the battery.
To reset the system
Press the RESET button on the rear of the system with a
pointed object if the buttons on the system do not function.

What is
Bluetooth
Wireless Technology?
Bluetooth
wireless technology is a short-range wireless
technology that enables wireless data communication
between digital devices, such as a computer and digital
camera.
Bluetooth
wireless technology operates within a range
of about 10 m.
Connecting two devices as necessary is common, but some
devices can be connected to multiple devices at the same
time.
You do not need to use a cable for connection, nor is it
necessary for the devices to face one another, such is the case
with infrared technology. For example, you can use such a
device in a bag or pocket.
Bluetooth
standard is an international standard supported by
thousands of companies all over the world, and employed by
various companies worldwide.
Communication system and
compatible
Bluetooth
profiles of the
system
Profile is standardisation of the function for each
Bluetooth
device specification. The system supports the following
Bluetooth
version and profiles:
Communication System:
Bluetooth
Specification version 3.0
Compatible
Bluetooth
Profiles:
A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile): Transmitting
or receiving audio content of high-quality.
AVRCP (Audio Video Remote Control Profile): Controlling
the volume.
HSP (Headset Profile): Talking on the phone/Operating the
phone.
HFP (Hands-free Profile): Talking on the phone/Operating
the phone by hands-free.
Maximum communication range
Use
Bluetooth
devices within 10 m (line of sight) of the system.
Maximum communication range may shorten under the
following conditions.
There is an obstacle such as a person, metal, or wall
between the system and
Bluetooth
device.
A wireless LAN device is in use near the system.
A microwave oven is in use near the system.
A device that generates electromagnetic radiation is in
use near the system.
Interference from other devices
Because
Bluetooth
devices and wireless LAN (IEEE802.11b/g)
use the same frequency, microwave interference may occur
and resulting in communication speed deterioration, noise, or
invalid connection if the system is used near a wireless LAN
device. In such a case, perform the following.
Use the system at least 10 m away from the wireless LAN
device.
If the system is used within 10 m of a wireless LAN device,
turn off the wireless LAN device.
Interference to other devices
Microwaves emitting from a
Bluetooth
device may affect the
operation of electronic medical devices. Turn off the system
and other
Bluetooth
devices in the following locations, as it
may cause an accident.
where inflammable gas is present, in a hospital, train,
airplane, or a gas station
near automatic doors or a fire alarm
Notes
To be able to use the
Bluetooth
function, the
Bluetooth
device to be connected requires the same profile as the
system’s.
Note also that even if the same profile exists, devices may
vary in function depending on their specifications.
Due to the characteristic of
Bluetooth
wireless technology,
the sound played on the system is slightly delayed from the
sound played on the
Bluetooth
device during talking on the
telephone or listening to the music.
This system supports security capabilities that comply with
the
Bluetooth
standard to provide a secure connection
when the
Bluetooth
wireless technology is used, but
security may not be enough depending on the setting. Be
careful when communicating using
Bluetooth
wireless
technology.
We do not take any responsibility for the leakage of
information during
Bluetooth
communication.
A device featuring the
Bluetooth
function is required to
conform to the
Bluetooth
standard specified by Bluetooth
SIG, and be authenticated. Even if the connected device
conforms to the above mentioned
Bluetooth
standard,
some devices may not be connected or work correctly,
depending on the features or specifications of the device.
Noise or sound skips may occur depending on the
Bluetooth
device connected with the system, the communication
environment or the usage environment.

Perform the pairing procedure on the
Bluetooth
device to detect the system.
5
Select “SRS-BTX500” shown in the display of
the
Bluetooth
device.
If “SRS- BTX500” does not appear on the device’s display,
repeat from step 2.
Note
Some devices cannot display a list of detected devices.
6
If Passcode* input is required on the display
of the
Bluetooth
device, input “0000.”
The
Bluetooth
connection is established and the
Bluetooth
indicator (blue) on the system stays on.
* Passcode may be called “Passkey,” “PIN code,” “PIN
number,” or “Password.”
Tip
To pair with other
Bluetooth
devices, repeat steps 2 to 6 for each
device.
Notes
Pairing mode of the system is cancelled after about 5 minutes,
and the
Bluetooth
indicator (blue) flashes. If the pairing mode is
cancelled while performing this procedure, start over from
step 3.
Passcode of the system is fixed as “0000.” The system cannot be
paired with a
Bluetooth
device whose Passcode is not “0000.”
Once
Bluetooth
devices are paired, there is no need to pair those
devices again. However, in the following case, you will need to
perform the pairing procedure again.
The system is paired with 9 or more devices.
The system can be paired with up to 8
Bluetooth
devices. If a
new device is paired after 8 devices have been paired, the
device whose latest connection time is the oldest among the
8 paired devices is replaced by the new one.
More than one device can be paired with the system, but sound
will be heard from just one of those devices.

This step may not be necessary for some devices.
If the system cannot connect to the
Bluetooth
device, delete
“SRS-BTX500” from the
Bluetooth
device, then perform
pairing again.
Bluetooth
standby mode
When the
Bluetooth
standby mode is set to ON, the system can
be turned on and operated by a
Bluetooth
device.
Note
If the system is being powered by battery, even if the
system is turned off, battery power will continue to be
consumed if the BLUETOOTH STANDBY switch is set to ON.
Pattern C
