Features
This unit is an audio adapter which can be used in two ways: as a stereo wireless receiver or
transmitter, using BLUETOOTH wireless technology.
You can enjoy stereo audio signal transmission (receive/transmit) of the BLUETOOTH
wireless technology by using your stereo audio devices.
As a receiver
This unit can receive stereo audio signal from a BLUETOOTH stereo audio source device
(mobile phone, digital music player, etc.) *.
By converting the wireless stereo audio signal (digital) to analog audio signal, you can enjoy
listening to music with your stereo audio output device (stereo component system, radio-
cassette recorder, etc.) connected to this unit.
As a transmitter
This unit can transmit stereo audio signal to a BLUETOOTH stereo audio receiving device
(car audio unit, headset, stereo component system, etc.) *.
By converting a regular stereo audio signal input (analog) from the connected stereo audio
source device to digital stereo audio signal and transmitting it wirelessly, you can enjoy
listening to the music of your stereo audio source device connected to this unit (computer,
portable audio player, mobile phone, etc.).
Tip
For example, you can receive the music on a car audio unit with BLUETOOTH function by connecting a
portable audio player to this unit. In this case, use of the Car Battery Cord DCC-E345 (optional) is
recommended.
*BLUETOOTH devices to be connected with this unit are required to support A2DP (Advanced Audio
Distribution Profile).

On Pairing
What is pairing?
BLUETOOTH devices need to be “paired” with each other beforehand.
Once BLUETOOTH devices are paired, there is no need for pairing again, except in the
following cases:
•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 BLUETOOTH stereo audio receiving device and
transmitting device. 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.
•This unit is reset.
All pairing information is deleted. (See page 22.)
See page 12 (as a receiver), or page 16 (as a transmitter) on how to pair devices.
