3 Start playback on the Walkman connected to this unit.
e music of the Walkman is played back on the Bluetooth
receiving device.
Tip
You can control the volume on the Bluetooth receiving device.
Notes
Depending on your Walkman, when the Walkman is in Sleep status, you may
need to keep pressing the play button in order to start playback.
Even if you control the volume on the Walkman, sound from the Bluetooth
receiving device will not change. If the Bluetooth receiving device is supported by
AVRCP (Vol +/-), you can control its volume. (For more details, see page 13.)
When this unit establishes the Bluetooth connection with the Walkman, AVLS
(Automatic Volume Limiter System) is deactivated and beep sounds are not
emitted.
If this unit and the Bluetooth receiving device become out of range and
the Bluetooth connection terminates, repeat the procedure from step 1.
Note, however, that if the unit and the Bluetooth receiving device come into
connectable range again within about 10 minutes, Bluetooth connection will be
reestablished automatically.
When you listen to FM broadcast received by a Walkman with a built-in
FM tuner through the Bluetooth receiving device, make sure to connect the
headphone to the Walkman, as the headphone cord works as an antenna,
otherwise FM signals cannot be received.
If the recording level of audio data on the Walkman is too high, the output sound
quality from the Bluetooth receiving device, may not meet the user customized
settings, e.g., “Equalizer” etc.
Playback through a Bluetooth connection may cause noise, sound break, or
playback speed change depending on the location and the usage (page 14).
About the MODE switch
You can select the sound quality or wireless communication stability preferentially.
MODE 1: Sound quality takes priority.
MODE 2: Reception stability takes priority.
Notes
When you set the MODE switch to MODE 1, and experience sound breaks, set
to MODE 2.
Sound break may occur depending on your Bluetooth receiving device when
switching between MODE 1 and 2.

e following conditions may cause
noise, sound break or playback speed
change.
– When using inside the metal bag.
– When using inside the backpack or
shoulder bag.
– A device using 2.4 GHz frequency,
such as a wireless LAN device,
cordless telephone, or microwave
oven, is in use near this unit.
Because Bluetooth devices and wireless
LAN (IEEE802.11b/g) use the same
frequency, microwave interference may
occur and resulting in communication
speed deterioration, noise, or invalid
connection if this unit is used near a

perform the following.
Additional Information
What is Bluetooth
technology?
Bluetooth wireless technology is a short-
range wireless technology that enables
wireless data 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).
You do not need to use a cable for
connection since Bluetooth technology is
a wireless technology, 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.
Bluetooth technology is an international
standard supported by thousands of
companies all over the world, and employed
by various companies worldwide.
