1. Introduction

Our KBSOUND STAR combines the best of our iSelect and Select BT in one

product allowing you to choose between using a Remote Control or managing

the system using the STAR App. STAR technology synchronizes the commands

sent by the Remote Control and/or the App.

We have upgraded and enhanced the new App to allow the user to stream

music from other non–iOs or Android Bluetooth devices (A2DP profiles)

such as Computers, Televisions, etc... (See chapter 9).
