To play back music via Bluetooth

Bluetooth involves a technology for wireless radio connec-

tion of devices over a short distance. Devices with Bluetooth

standard are transmitting between 2.402 and 2.480 GHz in

the ISM band (Industrial, Scientific and Medical). Interference

canbecausedforexamplebyWLAN-networks,DABradios,

cordless phones, or microwave ovens which work on the

same frequency band.

This device offers you the possibility to use a Bluetooth-

enableddevice.Thefunctionalradiusislimitedtoapprox.

15 metres depending on the surroundings and the unit used.

IfyourplayingdevicesupportstheA2DPprole(Advanced

Audio Distribution Profile) and has a music-player function,

then you can also wirelessly transfer music to the device. The

A2DPproleinvolvesamulti-vendorBluetoothprole.By

streaming, stereo-audio signals are wirelessly transferred be-

tween the playing device (source) and the receiving device.

To be able to control the source remotely, the playback de-

vicemustsupporttheAVRCPprole(Audio Video Remote

Control Profile).English

Due to the different device manufacturers, models, and

software versions, a full functionality cannot be guaranteed.
