Information
This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference
will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to
radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on,
the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following
measures:
– Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
– Increase the separation between the equipment
and receiver.
– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a
circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.
This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules
and RSS-Gen of IC Rules. Operation is subject
to the following two conditions: (1) this device
may not cause interference, and (2) this device
must accept any interference, including
interference that may cause undesired operation
of this device.
This equipment must not be co-located or
operated in conjunction with any other antenna
or transmitter.
This equipment complies with FCC/IC radiation
exposure limits set forth for uncontrolled
equipment and meets the FCC radio frequency
(RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to
OET65 and RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency
(RF) Exposure rules. This equipment has very
low levels of RF energy that it deemed to comply
without maximum permissive exposure
evaluation (MPE). But it is desirable that it
should be installed and operated with at least 20
cm and more between the radiator and person’s
body (excluding extremities: hands, wrists, feet
and legs).
CAUTION
You are cautioned that any changes or
modifications not expressly approved in this
manual could void your authority to operate this

following cases:
• Pairing information is deleted after repair, etc.
• This unit is paired with 9 or more devices.
This unit can be paired with up to 8 Bluetooth stereo audio source devices. If a new
device is paired after 8 devices have been paired, the device whose latest connection time
is the oldest among the 8 paired devices is replaced by the new one.
• This unit is initialized.
All pairing information is deleted (See page 19).

Precautions
On Bluetooth communication
• Bluetooth wireless technology operates within
a range of about 10 meters (about 30 feet).
Maximum communication range may vary
depending on obstacles (person, metal, wall,
etc.) or electromagnetic environment.
This unit
Steel cabinet
Optimal performance
Limited performance
• The following conditions may affect the
sensitivity of Bluetooth communication.
– There is an obstacle such as a person, metal,
or wall between this unit and Bluetooth
device.
–A device using 2.4 GHz frequency, such as a
wireless LAN device, cordless telephone, or
microwave oven, is in use near this unit.
– This unit is installed on a shelf made of steel.
• Because Bluetooth devices and wireless LAN
(IEEE802.11b/g) use the same frequency,
microwave interference may occur and
resulting in communication speed
deterioration, noise, or invalid connection if
this unit is used near a wireless LAN device. In
such a case, perform the following.
– Use this unit at least 10 m (about 30 ft) away
from the wireless LAN device.
– If this unit is used within 10 m (about 30 ft)
of a wireless LAN device, turn off the
wireless LAN device.
– Install this unit and Bluetooth device as near
to each other as possible.
• Microwaves emitting from a Bluetooth device
may affect the operation of electronic medical
devices. Turn off this unit and other Bluetooth
devices in the following locations, as it may
cause an accident.
– where inflammable gas is present, in a
hospital, train, airplane, or a gas station
– near automatic doors or a fire alarm
• This unit supports security capabilities that
comply with the Bluetooth standard to provide
a secure connection when the Bluetooth
wireless technology is used, but security may
not be enough depending on the setting. Be
careful when communicating using Bluetooth
wireless technology.
• We do not take any responsibility for the
leakage of information during Bluetooth
communication.
• Connection with all Bluetooth devices cannot
be guaranteed.
–A device featuring Bluetooth function is
required to conform to the Bluetooth
standard specified by Bluetooth SIG, and be
authenticated.
– Even if the connected device conforms to the
above mentioned Bluetooth standard, some
devices may not be connected or work
correctly, depending on the features or
specifications of the device.
• Depending on the device to be connected, it
may require some time to start communication.
Notes when using with a mobile
phone
• You cannot use this unit to talk over the
telephone, even if the Bluetooth connection
between this unit and a mobile phone is made.
• For details on operation of your mobile phone
when receiving a telephone call while
transmitting the sound using the Bluetooth
connection, refer to the operating instructions
supplied with the mobile phone.

On safety
The dating code and the nameplate
indicating Sony trademark, model number,
and electrical rating, are located on the
bottom exterior of this unit.
• Before operating the system, be sure that
the operating voltage of the system is
identical with that of your local power
supply.
Where purchased
All countries/regions
• Use only the supplied AC power
adaptor.
• The unit is not disconnected from the
AC power source (mains) as long as it is
connected to the wall outlet, even if the
unit itself has been turned off.
Operating voltage
100 – 240 V AC, 50/60 Hz
On placement
• Do not set the speaker in an inclined
position.
• Do not leave the system in a location
near heat sources, or in a place subject to
direct sunlight, excessive dust, moisture,
rain or mechanical shock.
On operation
• Do not open the cabinet. Refer servicing
to qualified personnel only.
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into
the system, have the system checked by
qualified personnel before operating it
any further.
• Although this system is magnetically
shielded, do not leave recorded tapes,
watches, personal credit cards, or floppy
disks with magnetic coding in front of
the system for an extended period of
time.
On cleaning
Do not use alcohol, benzine, or thinner to
clean the cabinet.
If the TV picture or monitor
display is magnetically
distorted
Although this system is magnetically
shielded, there may be cases that the
picture on some TV sets/personal
computer sets may become magnetically
distorted. In such a case, turn off the power
of the TV set/personal computer set once,
and after 15 to 30 minutes turn it on again.
For the personal computer set, take the
appropriate measures such as data storage
before turning it off.
When there seems to be no improvement,
locate the system further away from the
TV set/personal computer set.
Furthermore, be sure not to place objects
in which magnets are attached or used near
the TV set/personal computer set, such as
audio racks, TV stands, toys etc. These
may cause magnetic distortion to the
picture due to their interaction with the
system.

What is Bluetooth technology?
Bluetooth wireless technology is a short-range wireless technology that enables wireless
data communication between digital devices, such as a computer or digital camera.
Bluetooth wireless technology operates within a range of about 10 meters (about 30 feet).
Connecting two devices as necessary is common, but some devices can be connected to
multiple devices at the same time.*
You do not need to use a cable for connection since Bluetooth technology is a wireless
technology, nor is it necessary for the devices to face one another, such is the case with
infrared technology. For example, you can use such a device in a bag or pocket.
Bluetooth technology is an international standard supported by thousands of companies all
over the world, and employed by various companies worldwide.
* This unit cannot be connected to multiple devices at the same time.
