About RDS fe atur es
What is RDS?
Introduc ed by the European Br oadcasting Union

depending on the area. It ther efor e may not
always be possible t o rec eive RDS information.

What is Bluet ooth wir eless
technology?
Bluetooth wir eless te chnology is a short-range
wireles s technology that enables wireles s data
communica tion between digital devic es, such as
a computer and digit al camera. Blue tooth
wireles s technology opera tes within a range of
about 10 m.
Connecting two devic es as neces sary is common,
but some devices can be c onnected t o multiple
devices at the same time .
Y ou do not need to use a cable for c onnection,
nor is it neces sary for the devices to fac e one
another , such is the c ase with infrare d
technology . For example, you c an use such a
device in a bag or pock et.
Bluetooth st andard is an international st andard
supported by thousands of companies all over
the world, and employed by v arious companies
worldwide.
Communic ation system and c ompatible
Bluetoo th profiles of the unit
Pr ofile is standardization of the function f or each
Bluetooth devic e specification. T he unit supports
the following Bluet ooth version and profiles:
Communic ation System:
Bluetooth Spe cification version 3. 0
Compatible Blue tooth Pr ofiles:
A2DP (Advance d Audio Distribution Profile):
T r ansmitting or rec eiving audio content of
high-quality .
A VRCP (Audio Video Remot e Control P rofile):
Contr olling A/V equipment; pausing,
stopping, or starting playback, et c.
Maximum communic ation r ange
Use Bluetooth devic es within 10 m (line of sight)
of the unit.
Maximum communica tion range may shorten
under the following conditions.
T her e is an obstacle such as a person, metal, or
wall between the unit and Blue tooth device .
A wireles s LAN device is in use near the unit.
A microw ave oven is in use near the unit.
A device that gener ates electr omagnetic
radia tion is in use near the unit.
T he unit is plac ed on a shelf made of steel.

Interfer ence fr om other devic es
Because Bluet ooth devices and wir eless LAN
(IEEE802. 11b/g/n) use the same fr equency ,
microw ave interferenc e may occur and resulting
in communica tion speed deterior ation, noise, or
invalid c onnection if the unit is used near a
wireles s LAN device. In such a c ase, perform the
following.
Use the unit at least 10 m away fr om the
wireles s LAN device.
If the unit is used within 10 m of a wireles s LAN
device, turn off the wireless LAN device.
Use the Bluetooth devic e as close to the unit as
possible.
Interfer ence t o other devices
Microw aves emitting from a Bluetoo th device
may affect the oper ation of electronic me dical
devices. T urn off the unit and other Bluetooth
devices in the following loc ations, as it may
cause an accident.
where inflammable gas is pr esent, in a
hospital, tr ain, airplane, or a gas station
near automatic doors or a fir e alarm
Notes
T o be able t o use the Bluetooth function, the
Bluetooth devic e to be connect ed requir es the
same profile as the unit’ s.
Note also that even if the same pr ofile exists,
devices may vary in function depending on their
specifications.
Due to the char acteristic of Bluetooth wir eless
technology , the sound playe d on the unit is
slightly delayed from the sound playe d on the
Bluetooth devic e during listening to the music.
T his unit supports security capabilities that c omply
with the Bluetooth st andard to pr ovide a secure
connection when the Bluet ooth wireles s
technology is used, but se curity may not be
enough depending on the setting. Be car eful
when communica ting using Bluetooth wir eless
technology .
W e do not take any r esponsibility for the leakage
of information during Bluet ooth communica tion.
A device fea turing the Bluetooth function is
requir ed to conf orm to the Bluetoo th standard
specified by Bluet ooth SIG, and be authenticate d.
Even if the c onnected device c onforms to the
above mentioned Bluetoo th standard, some
devices may not be c onnected or work c orrectly ,
depending on the featur es or specifications of the
device.
Noise or sound skips may occur depending on the
Bluetooth devic e connecte d with the unit, the
communica tion environment or the usage
environment.
