Boston Acoustics soundware xs digital cinema surround sound speaker system Using Bluetooth

Using Bluetooth

Use the Bluetooth wireless input to receive music or any audio from a compatible Bluetooth device, such as a smartphone or computer. The device must be capable of transmitting audio with the Bluetooth A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile).

Pairing the system to a Compatible Bluetooth Device

Use the Input Button on the supplied remote to select the Bluetooth input, indicated by the Input Mode 2 light being blue. If no device has been previously paired, the SoundWare XS Digital Cinema will automatically enter the pairing mode, and the Input Mode light will blink blue.

Set the Bluetooth device to pairing or discovery mode (check device’s user manual for instructions). On your Bluetooth device, SoundWare XS Digital Cinema will be listed as “XS Digital Cinema.” If your device requests a pairing code, enter the number 0 0 0 0. Once paired, the Input Mode light will be solid blue for several seconds.

Your system can be paired to more than one device (although only one such device can play music via Bluetooth at a time). To pair additional devices, first use the Input Button to select the Bluetooth input. Then press and hold Bluetooth Pair button

for 3 seconds. Pairing mode will be started as above, indicated by a blinking blue light.

PAIR

Using Your Compatible Bluetooth Device with the system

After at least one device has been paired to the system, it will automatically search for available paired devices when you choose the Bluetooth input (indicated by a slow flashing blue light). Typically a smartphone or computer will need to be in a music-playing mode (like the iPod or iTunes mode) before your system will link and play the music. Once linked to one Bluetooth source, your system will stay linked to that device until the device is turned off, moved out of range, or Bluetooth is disabled on the device. If you want to change to another Bluetooth source device, you will need to stop the Bluetooth link (by changing to a non-Bluetooth input on your system AND disabling Bluetooth on the connected device). Then you can select the Bluetooth input on system again, and link to the second device.

Note: If the system loses its connection with a source Bluetooth device while in Bluetooth mode, the system will try to re- connect for 5 minutes, indicated by a slow flashing blue light. Typically this will allow a smartphone user to move out of range and then return, and have your system re-link and continue to play music.

The typical receiving range for Bluetooth is 40 ft. (12 meters) or less. This depends on the source Bluetooth device, as well as other devices that share the same broadcast frequencies such as Wi-Fi and microwave ovens.
