About these Operating 

Instructions

“DVD” may be used as a general term for a 

DVD VIDEO, DVD+RW/DVD+R, and 

DVD-RW/DVD-R.

The system enters standby mode 

automatically.

When the system is in pause, stop, open, or

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 

profiles

Profile refers to a standard set of capabilities 

for various 

Bluetooth

 product capabilities. 

This system supports the following 

Bluetooth

 

version and profiles.

Supported

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

 

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

Note

 

This system supports security functions

factors, so always be careful when 

performing communication using

 

Sony cannot be held liable in any way for 

damages or other loss resulting from 

information leaks during communication

 

Bluetooth

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
