Bluetooth mode

The Bluetooth mode on your sound system allows you to play audio, play sound from video ﬁ les and stream music from Bluetooth capable devices such as your moblie phone, computer, tablet etc. through your sound system's loudspeakers.

'Bluetooth pairing' occurs when two Bluetooth enabled devices agree to establish a connection and communicate with each other.

When a Bluetooth enabled device such as your Blutune 60 sound system is in a 'discoverable' state other Bluetooth devices can detect, pair with or connect to it.

Your sound system will ﬂ ash its Bluetooth indicator light when it is discoverable or when it is trying to connect to a previously paired Bluetooth device. When a device is paired with and connects to your sound system, the Bluetooth indicator light on the sound system will remain lit.

Bluetooth connectivity performance may vary depending on the connected Bluetooth devices. Please refer to the Bluetooth capabilities of your device before connecting to your sound system. All features may not be supported on some paired Bluetooth devices.

A Bluetooth connection can provide a link for audio up to a distance of approximately ten metres. When pairing two Bluetooth enabled devices, for convenience, we recommend they should be no more than 2 to 3 metres apart. The presence of other functioning Bluetooth devices during connection may lead to operational difﬁ culties. Bluetooth is a short-range radio communication system and generally Bluetooth devices can communicate with each other clearly within a regular sized room or ofﬁ ce. The reliability of a Bluetooth connection between different rooms will greatly depend upon the construction of the room and walls etc. Bluetooth communication range may be substantially reduced if the signal passes through a solid object.

Human bodies, brick and concrete walls, heavy furniture or bookcases will all reduce the operational range of your Bluetooth devices to a greater or lesser extent. Glass, dry-wall or wood paneled walls and ofﬁ ce partitions may have a less severe but noticeable effect. Metal pipes, foil-lined plasterboard, metal window frames and domestic wiring can also have an effect. You should position your Bluetooth devices closer to each other if you observe communication difﬁ culties.

WiFi networks and cordless phones generally use similar radio frequencies to Bluetooth and may interfere with one another. If any interference is noticed, then try relocating the sound system or one of the other devices.

Some Bluetooth devices may require a 'Passkey' (an authentication key) in order to establish a link between devices. A passkey is similar to a password, although you only need to use the passkey once to establish a link. If your device asks for a passkey to be able to pair with your radio then enter a code of 0000 (four zeroes).

The Bluetooth capabilities of your sound system enable it to receive audio from many Bluetooth capable devices including mobile phones, personal computers and tablets. Only one Bluetooth device can be connected to your sound system at a time. It supports the following Bluetooth proﬁ les and functionality.

Your sound system supports A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Proﬁ le)

which is a stereo audio connection that streams stereo music from PCs, mobile phones etc,

Your sound system supports AVRCP (Audio Video Remote Control Proﬁ le)

which allows your radio to control music playback from the connected device.

Note: Some mobile phones may temporarily disconnect from your sound system when you make or receive calls. Some devices may temporarily mute their Bluetooth audio streaming when they receive text messages, emails or for other reasons unrelated to audio streaming. Such behaviour is a function of the connected device and does not indicate a fault with your sound system.

Page 24

Connecting Bluetooth devices

1. Ensure that the Bluetooth capability on your phone, tablet or PC is enabled. You may need to refer to the user documentation for your device, since the method will vary with each device.

2. Press and release the On/Standby button to switch on the sound system.

3. Repeatedly, press and release the Mode button on your sound system until the Bluetooth mode is selected. Your sound system will show that it is 'discoverable' by ﬂ ashing the Bluetooth indicator on the display.

4. Using the Bluetooth settings of your phone, tablet or PC direct it to search for 'discoverable' devices. After a few seconds, you should see a device named 'Blutune 60'.

5. Select 'Blutune 60' to cause your phone, tablet or PC to pair with your sound system and to establish a connection.

6. Once the connection is established, the Bluetooth indicator on the radio display will remain lit. You can now begin playing music from your phone etc.

Page 25

If you need any further advice, please call our Technical Helpline on :-

Playing audio ﬁ les in Bluetooth mode

When you have successfully connected your sound system with the chosen Bluetooth device you can start to play your music using the controls on your connected Bluetooth device.

1. Once playing has started adjust the volume to the required setting using the Volume buttons on your sound system or your enabled bluetooth device.

2. Provided that your phone, tablet or PC allows volume control when using Bluetooth we recommend that for normal Bluetooth listening the sound system's volume control is set to a high level. This will permit the audio volume to be controlled using the connected Bluetooth device. This will generally be the more convenient method of controlling the volume. However, if you are using headphones plugged into your sound system, we strongly recommend that the sound system's volume control is used as the means of adjusting the audio volume. You will then need to set the volume on the connected Bluetooth device to a higher level. The purpose here is to prevent unexpectedly loud noises in the headphones, when changing sound system in the radio or when switching on and off.

3. The audio player in your phone, tablet or PC may be able to respond to the Play/Pause, Next track and Previous track buttons on the sound system.

Note:That not all player applications or devices may respond to all of

these buttons.

Note: If the unit is in the Bluetooth mode and it is not connected to a

Bluetooth device for more than 15 minutes it will automatically switch to the standby mode. The display will revert to showing the standby mode clock. To use the radio again, simply press the On/Standby button to switch it on.

Page 26

Disconnecting a Bluetooth device

You can only have one Bluetooth device connected to the sound system at any one time although it may be paired with several devices.

Once you have a Bluetooth enabled device connected to your sound system it cannot be interrupted by another Bluetooth device unless you choose to break the connection.

1. To force a disconnection, press and release the Menu button on the sound system. 'PAIRING' will ﬂ ash on the radio's display

2. Press and release the Select button. The radio will sound a double beep provided that your radio's volume is set to a suitable listening level.

3. The radio will disconnect device and then will become 'discoverable' for a period of approximately 60 seconds. The Bluetooth indicator will ﬂ ash on the screen. You may then pair your sound system with a new device. Some Bluetooth devices will automatically connect while others may need you to conﬁ rm the connection. If no new connection is made, then the sound system will attempt to reconnect to the previously connected device.

4. If you no longer want your Bluetooth device to be paired with your sound system you will need to delete the relevent pairing on the device. Please refer to the Bluetooth documentation for your phone, tablet, PC etc. for details of how to cancel current pairings.

Compact discs

Use only Digital Audio CDs which have the symbol.

Use only full size CDs (12cm diameter) with the sound system. Mini CDs (8cm diameter) are not compatible with the player and may jam the CD mechanism.

Transparent or partly transparent CDs cannot be played since they may not be detected when inserted. Unusually thin (Eco) CDs cannot be played. Some copy-protected CDs may not be playable.

Never write on a CD or attach any sticker to the CD. Always hold the CD at the edge and store it in its box after use with the label facing up.

To remove dust and dirt, breathe on the CD and wipe it with a soft, lint free cloth in a straight line from the centre towards the edge.

Cleaning agents may damage the CD.

Do not expose the CD to rain, moisture, sand or to excessive heat. (e.g. from heating equipment or in motor cars parked in the sun).

Note: If the sound system is in CD mode but not playing for more than 15 minutes then it will automatically switch to the standby mode.

The display will revert to showing the standby mode clock. To use the sound system again press the On/Standby button to switch it on.

CD-R / CD-RW discs

Your Blutune 60 can play CD-DA format audio CD-R/CD-RW discs that have been ﬁ nalised* upon completion of recording.

*Finalising enables a CD-R/CD-RW disc to playback on audio players such as your Blutune 60. A disc which has not been ﬁ nalised may have information added to it using a computer but may not always be playable. You may have to speciﬁ cally enable the ﬁ nalising step with some CD writing software.

Your Blutune 60 may fail to play some CD-R/CD-RW discs due to poor recording and wide variation in quality of the CD-R/CD-RW disc.

Page 28

MP3 / WMA CD Mode

The Blutune 60 is able to play CD-R and CD-RW discs containing MP3 and WMA ﬁ les. It is recommended that if large numbers of ﬁ les are held on a CD that they are arranged in folders, either by artist, album or some other criteria. This will make it easier to ﬁ nd particular ﬁ les when needed. Multiple levels of folders can be used (up to eight deep). This user guide refers to albums and tracks when making music selections. Tracks are equivalent to ﬁ les on the disc and albums are equivalent to folders.

An MP3 / WMA CD should not contain more than 999 ﬁ les and not more than 99 folders. MP3 and WMA ﬁ les should be created with an audio sample rate of 44.1kHz (this is normal for ﬁ les created from CD audio content). MP3 and WMA data rates up to 320 kilobits per second are supported. WMA Lossless, WMA Voice, WMA 10 Professional and ﬁ les which have DRM protection are not supported.

When burning CD-R and CD-RW discs with audio ﬁ les, various problems may arise which could lead to problems with playback. Typically such problems are caused by poor CD writing or audio encoding software, or by the hardware settings of the PC's CD writer, or by the CD being used. Should such problems arise, contact the customer services of your CD writer or software manufacturer or look in their product documentation for relevant information. When you are making audio CDs, take care to observe all legal requirements and ensure that the copyright of third parties is not infringed.

If there are many ﬁ les or folders on the CD then it may take some tens of seconds to read all of the ﬁ le and folder names and to identify those which are playable (with .mp3 or .wma ﬁ lename extension).

Using USB memory devices

This section describes how to use your sound system to access and playback your audio ﬁ les via USB memory devices.

Important: Your sound system is only designed to work with USB memory

ﬂ ash memory devices. It is not intended to be connected to hard disk drives or any other type of USB device.

The Blutune 60 has been tested with a range of USB memory devices of up to 32GB capacity. Memory must use the FAT or FAT 32 ﬁ ling system in order to operate in the Blutune 60.

Audio formats supported for playback are MP3 and WMA. Playback does not support ﬁ les encoded using WMA lossless, WMA Voice, WMA 10 professional, nor ﬁ les of any format which have DRM protection.

1. The USB slot is located on the rear of your sound system.

A USB memory with MP3 or WMA ﬁ les should not contain more than 999 ﬁ les and not more than 99 folders. MP3 and WMA ﬁ les should be created with an audio sample rate of 44.1kHz (this is normal for ﬁ les created from CD audio content). MP3 and WMA data rates up to 320 kilobits per second are supported. WMA Lossless, WMA Voice, WMA 10 Professional and ﬁ les which have DRM protection are not supported.

Note: If the sound system is in USB mode but not playing for more than 15 minutes then it will automatically switch to the standby mode.

The display will revert to showing the standby mode clock. To use the sound system again press the On/Standby button to switch it on.

Cautions:

In order to minimise the risk of damage to your sound system, or your USB memory device, please place the unit such that the device cannot easily be knocked while it is inserted in the socket.

Remove the USB memory before carrying the unit or if not using the USB feature for a prolonged period.

Place the unit in Standby mode before removing the USB memory device.
