Bluetooth wireless technology

Bluetooth wireless technology is a short-

range wireless technology linking digital devices, such as personal computers and digital 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.

Supported Bluetooth version and profiles

Profile refers to a standard set of capabilities for various Bluetooth product capabilities. This system supports the following Bluetooth version and profiles. Supported Bluetooth version: Bluetooth Standard version 2.1 + EDR (Enhanced Data Rate) Supported Bluetooth profiles: A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) AVRCP (Audio Video Remote Control Profile)

• 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

Notes

• 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

continued

different control methods, display or operation.

• Noise may occur or the audio may cut off depending on the Bluetooth device connected with this system, the communications environment, or surrounding conditions.
