What is Bluetooth wireless  
technology?  
Bluetooth® wireless technology is a  
short-range wireless technology that  
enables wireless data  
Communication System :  
Bluetooth Specification version 2.0 +  
EDR*1  
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  
Compatible Bluetooth Profiles:  
– A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution  
Profile): Transmitting or receiving  
audio content of high-quality.  
– AVRCP (Audio Video Remote Control  
Profile): Controlling A/V equipment;

volume control, etc.

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.

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

• 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 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.

• Do not place this unit in a place  
exposed to humidity, dust, soot or  
steam, subject to direct sunlight, or in a  
car waiting at a traffic signal. It may  
cause a malfunction.  
• Using the Bluetooth device may not  
function on mobile phones, depending  
on radio wave conditions and location  
where the equipment is being used.  
• If you experience discomfort after using  
the Bluetooth device, stop using the  
Bluetooth device immediately. Should  
any problem persist, consult your  
nearest Sony dealer.  
• Listening with this unit at high volume  
may affect your hearing. For traffic  
safety, do not use this unit while driving  
or cycling.  
• Do not put weight or pressure on this  
unit as it may cause the unit to deform

adaptor  
• Use the AC power adaptor supplied  
with this unit. Do not use any other AC  
power adaptor since it may cause the  
unit to malfunction.  
• The ear pads may deteriorate due to  
long-term storage or use.  
• If you have any questions or problems  
concerning this unit that are not covered
