Bluetooth
You can use a Bluetooth device to enjoy music with high quality stereo sound, all without wires!
What is Bluetooth?
Bluetooth is a technology that enables Bluetooth compliant devices to interconnect easily with each other using a short, wireless connection.
- A Bluetooth device may cause noise or malfunction, depending on usage, when:
- A part of your body is in contact with the receiving/transmitting system of the Bluetooth device or the Hi-Fi Component.
- It is subject to electrical variation from obstructions caused by a wall, corner, or office partitioning.
- It is exposed to electrical interference from same frequency-band devices including medical equipment, microwave ovens, and wireless LANs.
- Pair the Hi-Fi Component with the Bluetooth device while they are close together.
- The greater the distance between the Hi-Fi Component and the Bluetooth device, the worse the quality. If the distance exceeds the Bluetooth operational range, the connection is lost.
- In poor reception areas, the Bluetooth connection may not work properly.
- The Bluetooth connection only works when the Bluetooth device and the Hi-Fi Component are close together. The connection will be automatically cut off if the Bluetooth device is out of range. Even within range, the sound quality may be degraded by obstacles such as walls or doors.
- This wireless device may cause electric interference during its operation.
To connect the Hi-Fi Component to a Bluetooth device
