ADAPTER for Wireless Enjoyment

of Music

Wireless music play

When the Bluetooth ADAPTER (Pioneer Model No. AS-BT100
or AS-BT200) is connected to this unit, a product equipped
with Bluetooth wireless technology (portable cell phone,
digital music player, etc.) can be used to listen to music
wirelessly. Also, by using a commercially available
transmitter supporting Bluetooth wireless technology, you
can listen to music on a device not equipped with Bluetooth
wireless technology. The AS-BT100 and AS-BT200 model
supports SCMS-T contents protection, so music can also be
enjoyed on devices equipped with SCMS-T type Bluetooth
wireless technology.

• It must be necessary that the Bluetooth wireless

technology enabled device supports A2DP profiles.
