• 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 (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 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
(33 feet) 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
