Bluetooth wireless technology
Bluetooth wireless technology is a short-range wireless
technology linking digital devices, such as personal
computers and digital still 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.
* This unit cannot be connected to multiple devices.
Supported Bluetooth version and profiles
Profile refers to a standard set of capabilities for various
Bluetooth product capabilities. This unit supports the
following Bluetooth version and profiles.
Supported Bluetooth version:
Bluetooth Standard version 2.0
Supported Bluetooth profiles:
A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile)
AVRCP (Audio Video Remote Control Profile)
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

of the sun.
Do not place the unit on an inclined or unstable place.
Do not place anything within 10 mm of the side of the
cabinet. The ventilation holes must be unobstructed for
the unit to operate properly and prolong the life of its
components.
Since a strong magnet is used for the speakers, keep
personal credit cards using magnetic coding or spring-
wound watches away from the unit to prevent possible
damage from the magnet.
On operation
If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm
location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture
may condense on the lens inside the CD player section.
Should this occur, the unit will not operate properly. In
this case, remove the CD and wait about an hour for the
moisture to evaporate.
Cleaning the cabinet
Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth
slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do
not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder, or
solvent, such as alcohol or benzine.
If you have any questions or problems concerning your
unit, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
