Communication
Supported BLUETOOTH version and 
profiles
Profile refers to a standard set of functions 
for various BLUETOOTH product features. 
See “BLUETOOTH section” in 
“Specifications” (page 56) for the 
BLUETOOTH version and profiles supported 
by this receiver.
Effective communication range
BLUETOOTH devices should be used within 
approximately 10 meters (33 feet) 
(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 are generated
Effects of other devices
BLUETOOTH devices and wireless LAN 
(IEEE 802.11b/g/n) device 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:
• Use this receiver at least 10 meters
(33 feet) away from the wireless LAN 
device.
• Turn off the power to the wireless LAN
device when using your BLUETOOTH 
device within 10 meters (33 feet).
• Install this receiver and BLUETOOTH
device as closer to each other as 
possible.
Effects on other devices
The radio waves broadcast by this receiver 
may interfere with the operation of some 
medical devices. Since this interference 
may result in malfunction, always turn off 
the power on this receiver 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 receiver supports security functions that

guaranteed with all BLUETOOTH devices that 
have the same profile as this receiver.
• BLUETOOTH devices connected with this
receiver 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 receiver, the 
communications environment, or surrounding 
conditions.
