Bluetooth wireless
technology
Bluetooth
wireless technology is a short-range
wireless technology linking digital devices,
such as personal computers and digital
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

vertical and flat wall where reinforcement is
applied.
Sony is not responsible for accidents or
damage caused by improper installation,
insufficient wall strength or improper screw
installation, natural calamity, etc.

specifications of the
Bluetooth
device.
The audio playback on this system may be
delayed from that on the
Bluetooth
device
because of the characteristics of the
Bluetooth
wireless technology.
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
Note
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 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.
Noise may occur or the audio may cut off
depending on the
Bluetooth
device
connected with this system, the
communications environment, or
surrounding conditions.
