Connecting your aiFi to a device

Bluetooth® is a communication standard invented by Swedes back in the 1990s, and aiFi uses version 4.2.
It
includes both audio signal transmission and Bluetooth® Low Energy for the smartphone app. Your
phone acts as remote control for your aiFi. The signal path from the Bluetooth® chip into the main Digital
Signal Processor (DSP) is fully digital and any volume
control is managed directly in our main DSP to
ensure maximum sound quality at all times. aiFi also support apt
-‐
X codec, which is capable of the highest
resolution audio available over the Bluetooth® protocol.

your TV that can be adjusted with the remote control
of your TV.
To connect, plug the SPDIF connector into the
AUX
