transmitter, which it then turns off at the end of
the packet. Therefore, the transmitter will be on
only while one of the aforementioned packets is
being transmitted. In other words, this device
automatically discontinues transmission in case of
either absence of information to transmit or
operational failure.

Listening to music through a
BLUETOOTH connection
Pairing the unit with a
BLUETOOTH device and
listening to music
You can listen to music from BLUETOOTH
device over a wireless connection.
Before using the BLUETOOTH function,
perform pairing to register your BLUETOOTH
device.
When pairing the unit with a BLUETOOTH device,
place the BLUETOOTH device within one meter
of the unit.
When pairing the unit with a BLUETOOTH device,
connect the unit to the AC outlet or charge the
battery sufficiently.
If your BLUETOOTH device is compliant with
one-touch connection (NFC), skip the next
procedure. See “Listening to music by one-touch
action (NFC)” (page 15).
Turn on the unit.

the BLUETOOTH device to detect
the unit.
When a list of detected devices appears
on the display of the BLUETOOTH
device, select “SRS-X77”.
If passkey entry is required on the
display of the BLUETOOTH device, enter
“0000”.
Stop playback on the BLUETOOTH device
before performing the pairing procedure.
Loud sound may be output when the
BLUETOOTH connection is established. In
addition, after the connection is established,
loud sound may be output at the time of the
first playback operation. It is recommended
to turn down the volume before starting
playback.

pairing mode automatically. In this case,
proceed to step 4.
When you tap the (BLUETOOTH)

You can perform a pairing operation or attempt
to make a BLUETOOTH connection with another
BLUETOOTH device while the BLUETOOTH
connection is established with one BLUETOOTH
device. The currently established BLUETOOTH
connection is canceled when BLUETOOTH
connection with another device is successfully
established.
SongPal does not have a music playback
function via the BLUETOOTH connection. Play
music using the music playback software of
BLUETOOTH devices (such as smartphone, PC,
etc.).
The operations described above may not be
available for certain BLUETOOTH devices. In
addition, the actual operations may differ
depending on the connected BLUETOOTH
device.
Pairing mode of the unit is released after about 5
minutes and the (BLUETOOTH) indicator
flashes slowly. However, when pairing
information is not stored in the unit, such as
from the factory, pairing mode is not released. If
pairing mode is released before finishing the
process, repeat from step 3.
When pairing with a BLUETOOTH device that
cannot display a list of detected devices or that
has no display, you may pair the device by
setting both the unit and the BLUETOOTH device
to pairing mode. At this time, if a passkey other
than “0000” is set on the BLUETOOTH device,
pairing cannot be done with the unit.
Once a pairing operation is performed, it does
not have to be performed again. In the following
cases, however, a pairing operation must be
performed again:
Pairing information was erased when the
BLUETOOTH device was repaired.
You attempt to pair the unit with more than 9
BLUETOOTH devices.
This unit can pair with up to 9 BLUETOOTH
devices. If you pair another BLUETOOTH
device after pairing with 9 devices was
performed, pairing information of the device
that was connected with the unit first is
overwritten with that of the new device.
Pairing registration information of this unit is
erased from the connected device.
If you initialize the unit, all the pairing
information will be erased.
The unit can be paired with multiple devices, but
can only play music from one paired device at a
time.
“Passkey” may be called “Passcode,” “PIN code,”
“PIN number” or “Password,” etc.

Selecting the method of
network connection
If you connect this unit to a network, you
can enjoy this unit in various ways.
Depending on your network environment,
setting up methods are different. Select the
appropriate connecting method for your
network environment from below.
For setting the fixed IP address, use the screen in
step 7 of “Connecting with a PC” (page 16).
Connecting with a PC
If your wireless router does not have a WPS
(AOSS) button, configure Wi-Fi settings by
connecting the unit to your PC with a LAN
cable.
Prepare a commercially-available LAN cable
beforehand.
When setting up a Wi-Fi network, the SSID (Wi-Fi
Network Name) and security key (WEP or WPA key)
may be required. The security key (or network key)
uses encryption to limit the devices with which
communication can occur. It is used to provide
higher security for devices communicating via a
wireless router/access point.
Connecting to a Wi-Fi network and a wired
network simultaneously is not possible. When
you connect to a Wi-Fi network, be sure to
disconnect the LAN cable from the unit.
Depending on the function, the unit may need
to be updated.

What is BLUETOOTH
wireless technology?
BLUETOOTH wireless technology is a shortrange wireless technology that enables
wireless data communication between
digital devices, such as a computer and
digital camera. BLUETOOTH wireless
technology operates within a range of about
10m (about 30ft).
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, 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 standard is an international
standard supported by thousands of
companies all over the world, and employed
by various companies worldwide.
Maximum communication range
Maximum communication range may
shorten under the following conditions.
There is an obstacle such as a person,
metal, or wall between the system and
BLUETOOTH device.
A wireless LAN device is in use near the
system.
A microwave oven is in use near the
system.
A device that generates
electromagnetic radiation is in use near
the system.
Interference from other devices
Because BLUETOOTH devices and wireless
LAN (IEEE802.11b/g/n) use the same
frequency, microwave interference may
occur and resulting in communication speed
deterioration, noise, or invalid connection if
the system is used near a wireless LAN
device. In such a case, perform the
following.
Use the system at least 10 m (about 30
ft) away from the wireless LAN device.
22
US
If the system is used within 10 m (about
Note
30 ft) of a wireless LAN device, turn off
the wireless LAN device.
Specifications
Interference to other devices
Microwaves emitting from a BLUETOOTH
device may affect the operation of
electronic medical devices. Turn off the
system 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
To be able to use the BLUETOOTH function, the
BLUETOOTH device to be connected requires the
same profile as the system’s.
Note also that even if the same profile exists,
devices may vary in function depending on their
specifications.
Due to the characteristic of BLUETOOTH wireless
technology, the sound played on the system is
slightly delayed from the sound played on the
BLUETOOTH device during talking on the
telephone or listening to the music.
This system 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.
A device featuring the 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.
Noise or sound skips may occur depending on
the BLUETOOTH device connected with the
system, the communication environment or the
usage environment.
Depending on the function, the unit may need to
be updated.
