PLAYBACK VIA BLUETOOTH
Bluetooth involves a technology for wireless radio connection of devices
over a short distance. Devices with Bluetooth standard are transmitting
between 2.402 and 2.480 GHz in the ISM band (Industrial, Scientific and
Medical). Interference can be caused for example by WLAN-networks,
DAB radios, cordless phones, or microwave ovens which work on the
same frequency band.
This device offers you the possibility to use a Bluetooth enabled device.
The functional radius is limited to approx.10 metres depending on the
surroundings and the unit used.
If your playing device supports the A2DP profile (Advanced Audio
Distribution Profile) and has a music-player function, then you can also
wirelessly transfer music to the device. The A2DP profile involves a
multi-vendor Bluetooth profile. By streaming, stereo-audio signals are
wirelessly transferred between the playing device (source) and the
receiving device.
Due to the different device manufacturers, models, and software versions,
a full functionality cannot be guaranteed.
