Bluetooth mode
The Bluetooth mode on your sound system allows you to play audio, play sound
from video fi les and stream music from Bluetooth capable devices such as your
moblie phone, computer, tablet etc. through your sound system's loudspeakers.
'Bluetooth pairing' occurs when two Bluetooth enabled devices agree to
establish a connection and communicate with each other.
When a Bluetooth enabled device such as your Blutune 60 sound system is in a
'discoverable' state other Bluetooth devices can detect, pair with or connect to it.
Your sound system will fl ash its Bluetooth indicator light when it is discoverable
or when it is trying to connect to a previously paired Bluetooth device. When
a device is paired with and connects to your sound system, the Bluetooth
indicator light on the sound system will remain lit.
Bluetooth connectivity performance may vary depending on the connected
Bluetooth devices. Please refer to the Bluetooth capabilities of your device
before connecting to your sound system. All features may not be supported
on some paired Bluetooth devices.
A Bluetooth connection can provide a link for audio up to a distance of
approximately ten metres. When pairing two Bluetooth enabled devices, for
convenience, we recommend they should be no more than 2 to 3 metres apart.
The presence of other functioning Bluetooth devices during connection may
lead to operational diffi culties. Bluetooth is a short-range radio communication
system and generally Bluetooth devices can communicate with each other
clearly within a regular sized room or offi ce. The reliability of a Bluetooth
connection between different rooms will greatly depend upon the construction
of the room and walls etc. Bluetooth communication range may be substantially
reduced if the signal passes through a solid object.
Human bodies, brick and concrete walls, heavy furniture or bookcases will
all reduce the operational range of your Bluetooth devices to a greater or
lesser extent. Glass, dry-wall or wood paneled walls and offi ce partitions may
have a less severe but noticeable effect. Metal pipes, foil-lined plasterboard,
metal window frames and domestic wiring can also have an effect. You
should position your Bluetooth devices closer to each other if you observe
communication diffi culties.
WiFi networks and cordless phones generally use similar radio frequencies to
Bluetooth and may interfere with one another. If any interference is noticed,
then try relocating the sound system or one of the other devices.
Some Bluetooth devices may require a 'Passkey' (an authentication key) in
order to establish a link between devices. A passkey is similar to a password,
although you only need to use the passkey once to establish a link. If your
device asks for a passkey to be able to pair with your radio then enter a code
of 0000 (four zeroes).
The Bluetooth capabilities of your sound system enable it to receive audio from
many Bluetooth capable devices including mobile phones, personal computers
and tablets. Only one Bluetooth device can be connected to your sound
system at a time. It supports the following Bluetooth profi les and functionality.
Your sound system supports A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profi le)
which is a stereo audio connection that streams stereo music from PCs,
mobile phones etc,
Your sound system supports AVRCP (Audio Video Remote Control Profi le)
which allows your radio to control music playback from the connected
device.
Note: Some mobile phones may temporarily disconnect from your sound
system when you make or receive calls. Some devices may temporarily mute
their Bluetooth audio streaming when they receive text messages, emails or
for other reasons unrelated to audio streaming. Such behaviour is a function
of the connected device and does not indicate a fault with your sound system.
