One Touch BLUETOOTH

Connection by NFC

NFC (Near Field Communication)

is a technology enabling short-

range wireless communication

between various devices, such as

smartphones and IC tags.

When you touch the system with an

NFC-compatible smartphone, the

system automatically:

•—turns on in the BLUETOOTH

function.

•—completes the pairing and

BLUETOOTH connection.

Compatible smartphones

Smartphones with a built-in NFC

function (OS: Android 2.3.3 or

later, excluding Android 3.x)

Note

••The system can only recognizes and

connects to one NFC-compatible

smartphone at a time. If you try to

connect another NFC-compatible

smartphone to the system, the currently

connected NFC-compatible smartphone

will be disconnected.

••Depending on your NFC-compatible

smartphone, you may need to perform

the following steps on your NFC-

compatible smartphone in advance.

— Turn on the NFC function. For details,

refer to the operating instructions of

the NFC-compatible smartphone.

— If your NFC-compatible smartphone

has an OS version that is older than

Android 4.1.x, download and start

the “NFC Easy Connect” application.

“NFC Easy Connect” is a free

application for Android smartphones

that can be obtained from Google

Play. (The application may not be

available in some countries/regions.)

, and allows approximately

three times more data* 2 than those

other technologies to be transmitted

over a BLUETOOTH wireless network

with unprecedented sound quality, by

means of efficient coding and optimized

packetization.

Precautions

When carrying the unit

To avoid damaging the disc

mechanism, perform the following

procedure before carrying the unit.

Use the keys on the touch panel of

the unit to perform this operation.

1 Press  to turn on the system.

2 Touch FUNCTION repeatedly to

select “DVD/CD”.

3 Remove the disc.

Touch  to open and close the disc

tray.

Wait until “NO DISC” appears on the

display.

4 Unplug the AC power cord (mains

lead).

Notes on discs

••Before playing, wipe the disc with a

cleaning cloth from the center outward

to the edge.

••Do not clean discs with solvents, such

as benzine, thinner, or commercially

available cleaners or anti-static spray

intended for vinyl LPs.

••Do not expose discs to direct sunlight

or heat sources such as hot air ducts,

nor leave them in a car parked in direct

sunlight.

On safety

••Completely disconnect the AC power

cord (mains lead) from the wall outlet

(mains) if it is not going to be used

for an extended period of time. When

unplugging the system, always grip the

plug. Never pull the cord itself.

••Should any solid object or liquid get

into the system, unplug the system, and

have it checked by qualified personnel

before operating it again.

••AC power cord (mains lead) must be

changed only at the qualified service

shop.

On handling the system

This system is not drip-proof or

waterproof. Make sure not to splash water

on the system or clean it with water.

On placement

••Do not place the system in an inclined

position or in locations that are

extremely hot, cold, dusty, dirty, or

humid or lacking adequate ventilation,

or subject to vibration, direct sunlight or

a bright light.

••Be careful when placing the system

on surfaces that have been specially

treated (for example, wax, oil, polish) as

staining or discoloration of the surface

may result.

••If the system is brought directly from

a cold to a warm location or is placed

in a very damp room, moisture may

condense on the lens inside the unit,

and cause the system to malfunction.

In this situation, remove the disc, and

leave the system turned on for about an

hour until the moisture evaporates.

On heat buildup

••Heat buildup on the unit during

operation is normal and is not a cause

for alarm.

••Do not touch the cabinet if it has been

used continuously at a high volume

because the cabinet may have become

hot.

••Do not obstruct the ventilation holes.

On the speaker system

The built-in speaker system is not

magnetically shielded, and the picture on

nearby TV sets may become magnetically

distorted. In this situation, turn off the

TV, wait 15 to 30 minutes, and turn it back

on. If there is no improvement, move the

system far away from the TV.

Additional Information

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Caution: If you leave a still video

image or on-screen display image

displayed on your TV for an extended

period of time via this system, you

risk permanent damage to your TV

screen. Projection TVs are especially

susceptible to this.

Cleaning the cabinet

Clean this system with a soft cloth slightly

moistened with a mild detergent solution.

Do not use any type of abrasive pad,

scouring powder, or solvent, such as

thinner, benzine, or alcohol.

On BLUETOOTH communication

••BLUETOOTH devices should be used

within approximately 10 meters

(unobstructed distance) of each

other. The effective communication

range may become shorter under the

following conditions.

— When a person, metal object, wall

or other obstruction is between

the devices with a BLUETOOTH

connection

— Locations where a wireless LAN is

installed

— Around microwave ovens that are

in use

— Locations where other

electromagnetic waves are

generated

••BLUETOOTH devices and wireless LAN

(IEEE 802.11b/g/n) equipment use the

same frequency band (2.4GHz). When

using your BLUETOOTH device near

a device with wireless LAN capability,

electromagnetic interference may

occur. This could result in lower data

transfer rates, noise, or inability to

connect. If this happens, try the

following remedies:

— Use this system at least 10 meters

away from the wireless LAN

equipment.

— Turn off the power of the wireless

LAN equipment when using your

BLUETOOTH device within 10 meters.

— Use this system and BLUETOOTH

device as closer to each other as

possible.

••The radio waves broadcast by this

system may interfere with the operation

of some medical devices. Since this

interference may result in malfunction,

always turn off the power on this

system and BLUETOOTH device in the

following locations:

— In hospitals, on trains, in airplanes,

at gas stations, and any place where

flammable gases may be present

— Near automatic doors or fire alarms

••This system supports security

functions that comply with BLUETOOTH

specifications to ensure secure

connections during communication

using BLUETOOTH technology. However,

this security may be insufficient

depending on the setting contents

and other factors, so always be careful

when performing communication using

BLUETOOTH technology.

••Sony cannot be held liable in any way

for damages or other loss resulting

from information leaks during

communication using BLUETOOTH

technology.

••BLUETOOTH communication is not

necessarily guaranteed with all

BLUETOOTH devices that have the same

profile as this system.

••BLUETOOTH devices connected with

this system must comply with the

BLUETOOTH specification prescribed

by the Bluetooth SIG, Inc., and must

be certified to comply. However, even

when a device complies with the

BLUETOOTH specification, there may

be cases where the characteristics or

specifications of the BLUETOOTH device

make it impossible to connect, or may

result in different control methods,

display or operation.

••Noise may occur or the audio may

cut off depending on the BLUETOOTH

device connected with this system,

the communications environment, or

surrounding conditions.
