• Pair the Hi-Fi Component with the Bluetooth device while they are close together.
• The greater the distance between the Hi-Fi Component and the Bluetooth device, the worse the quality. If the distance exceeds the Bluetooth operational range, the connection is lost.
• In poor reception-sensitivity areas, the Bluetooth connection may not work properly.
• The Bluetooth connection only works when it is close to the set. The connection will be automatically cut off if the Bluetooth device is out of range. Even within range, the sound quality may be degraded by obstacles such as walls or doors.
