On BLUETOOTH communication

Supported BLUETOOTH version and profiles

Profile refers to a standard set of functions for various BLUETOOTH product features. See “BLUETOOTH section” in “Specifications” (page 53) for the BLUETOOTH version and profiles supported by this system.

Effective communication range

BLUETOOTH devices should be used within approximately 10 meters (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 are generated

Effects of other devices

BLUETOOTH devices and wireless LAN (IEEE 802.11b/g/n) device 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:

 Use this system at least 10 meters

away from the wireless LAN device.

 Turn off the power to the wireless LAN

device when using your BLUETOOTH device within 10 meters.

 Install this system and BLUETOOTH

device as closer to each other as possible.

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 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

Note

This system supports security functions

that comply with the BLUETOOTH specification to ensure secure connection 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 shall not 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 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.
