BLUETOOTH wireless technology
Supported BLUETOOTH version and profiles
Profile refers to a standard set of capabilities for various BLUETOOTH
product capabilities. See “Specifications” (page 13) on the BLUETOOTH
version and profiles supported by this system.
 For you to use the BLUETOOTH function, the BLUETOOTH device to be
connected must support the same profile as this system. Even if the
device supports the same profile, the functions may differ because of the
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
 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.
