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 HiFi 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

Before you begin, confirm that your Bluetooth device supports the Bluetooth-compliant stereo headset function.

1. Press the CD/Bluetooth button of the HiFi Component to display the BLUETOOTH message.
   • You will see WAIT for a short period of time and then READY on the front display of the Hi-Fi Component.

3. Select the Stereo headset menu on the Bluetooth device.
   • You will see a list of scanned devices.
4. Select "[Samsung] HI-FI XXXXXX" from the list.
   • When the product is connected to the Bluetooth device, it will display
     CONNECTED → BLBLUETOOTH on the front display.
   • If the Bluetooth device has failed to pair with the product, delete the previous "[Samsung] HI-FI XXXXXX" found by the Bluetooth device and have it search for the product again.
5. You can listen to the music playing on the connected Bluetooth device over the Hi-Fi Component system.
   • In Bluetooth mode, some model's Play/Stop/Next/Back functions are not available.

NOTES

• The product only supports Middle Quality SBC data (up to 237kbps@48kHz), and does not support High Quality SBC data (328kbps@44.1kHz).

• Connect only to a Bluetooth device that supports the A2DP (AV) function.
• You cannot connect to a Bluetooth device that supports only the HF (Hands Free) function.
• Only one Bluetooth device can be paired at a time.
• Once you have turned off the Hi-Fi Component and the pairing is disconnected, the pairing will not be restored automatically. To reconnect, you must pair the device again.
• The Hi-Fi Component system may not search or connect properly in the following cases:
  • If there is a strong electrical field around the Hi-Fi Component.
  • If several Bluetooth devices are simultaneously paired with Hi-Fi Component.
  • If the Bluetooth device is turned off, not in place, or malfunctions.
