About Bluetooth technology

Bluetooth wireless technology is a short-range radio technology that enables wireless communication between various types of digital devices, such as mobile phone or computer. It operates within a range of about 10 meters (30 feet) without the hassle of having to use cables to connect these devices.

Since the Bluetooth technology does not require line of sight between the communicating devices, it is not necessary to line up the transmitting device and the receiver, as in the case of infra red technology.

Communication System and

Bluetooth

Profile of this unit

There are many available Bluetooth Profiles describing the basic communication methods, specific functions and uses, to enable communication between devices.

This unit supports the following:

Communication System: Bluetooth Specification version

2.1 Bluetooth + Enhanced Data Rate (EDR) Profile : A2DP

(Advanced Audio Distribution Profile)

A2DP enables audio streaming from an A2DP equipped

Bluetooth stereo audio source device (eg mobile phone) to this unit. By converting wireless stereo audio signal to analogue audio signal, you can enjoy listening to the sound through this speaker system.

AVRCP (Audio/Video Remote Control Profile) is a technology that allows a single remote control to control all Bluetooth enabled Audio Video equipment to which a user has access.

Notes when using unit with a mobile phone

●

This unit cannot be used to talk over the telephone even

● when there is a Bluetooth connection made to a mobile phone.

Please refer to the operating manual supplied with the mobile phone for details on operation of your mobile phone while transmitting the sound using a Bluetooth connection.

BLUETOOTH

PAIRING

This system can play back a standard CD, CD-R/RW in the CD format and CD-R/RW with MP3 or WMA files, but cannot record on them. Some audio CD-R and CD-RW discs may not be playable due to the state of the disc or the device that was used for recording.

MP3:

MP3 is a form of compression. It is an acronym which stands for MPEG Audio Layer 3. MP3 is a type of audio code which is processed by significant compression from the original audio source with very little loss in sound quality.

● This system supports MPEG 1 Layer 3 and VBR files.

● During VBR file playback, time counter in the display may differ from its actual playback time.

● Bitrate which is supported by MP3 is 32 ~ 320 kbps.

WMA:

WMA files are Advanced System Format files that include audio files which are compressed with

Windows Media Audio codec. WMA is developed by

Microsoft as an audio format file for Windows Media

Player.

Care of compact discs

Compact discs are fairly resistant to damage, however mistracking can occur due to an accumulation of dirt on the disc surface. Follow the guidelines below for maximum enjoyment from your CD collection and player.

● Do not write on either side of the disc, particularly the non-label side from which signals are read. Do not mark this surface.

● Keep your discs away from direct sunlight, heat, and excessive moisture.

● Always hold the CDs by the edges. Fingerprints, dirt, or water on the CDs can cause noise or mistracking.

If a CD is dirty or does not play properly, clean it with a soft, dry cloth, wiping straight out from the centre, along the radius.
