Welcome!  
Thank you for purchasing this Sony Portable Stereo Transmitter. This unit  
uses BLUETOOTH™ wireless technology.  
This unit can transmit stereo audio signal to a BLUETOOTH stereo audio  
receiving device (headset, car audio unit, stereo component system, etc.) *.  
By converting a regular stereo audio signal input (analogue) from the  
connected stereo audio source device to digital stereo audio signal and  
transmitting it wirelessly, you can enjoy listening to the music of your stereo  
audio source device connected to this unit (portable audio player, mobile  
phone, computer, etc.).  
Enjoy listening to music  
*
BLUETOOTH devices to be connected with this unit are required to support A2DP  
(Advanced Audio Distribution Profile).

Pairing  
What is pairing?  
Procedures of pairing  
BLUETOOTH devices need to be  
“paired” with each other beforehand.  
Once BLUETOOTH devices are  
paired, there is no need for pairing  
again, except in the following cases:  
• When pairing information is  
deleted after repair, etc.  
1 Place a BLUETOOTH  
receiving device within  
1 m (3 ft) of this unit.  
2
Press and hold the  
POWER button for 7  
seconds or more to  
standby for pairing while  
• When this unit is paired with 9 or  
more devices.  
This unit can be paired with 8  
BLUETOOTH devices; if a new  
device is paired after 8 devices  
have been paired, the device  
whose latest connection time is  
the oldest among the 8 paired  
devices is replaced by the new  
one.  
the unit is turned off.  
The indicator (blue) and the  
indicator (red) start flashing  
together and this unit starts  
searching the BLUETOOTH  
receiving device.  
• When recognition of the unit by  
the device to be connected is  
deleted.  
• When this unit is initialized.  
All pairing information is deleted.  
Note  
Notes  
Passcode* of this unit is fixed at “0000.”  
This unit cannot be paired with a  
BLUETOOTH receiving device whose  
Passcode is not “0000.”  
• After about 3 seconds, power is  
turned on and the indicator  
(blue) and indicator (red) flash  
together twice. Keep the button  
pressed without releasing until  
both indicators start flashing  
together, then release the button.  
This unit enters into pairing  
mode.  
* Passcode may be called “Passkey,”  
“PIN code,” “PIN number,” or  
“Password.”  
If pairing is not established  
within about 5 minutes, pairing  
mode will be cancelled and this  
unit will turn off. In this case,  
start over from step 1.  
Continued 9  
 
3 Set the BLUETOOTH  
receiving device to  
pairing mode.  
This unit searches the  
BLUETOOTH receiving  
device automatically, and  
pairs the device.  
The unit tries to connect the  
BLUETOOTH receiving  
device soon after detecting it.  
When the BLUETOOTH  
connection is made properly,  
the indicator (red) goes off  
and the indicator (blue) starts  
flashing more slowly,  
indicating pairing is complete  
and pairing information is  
memorized on this unit.  
Notes  
• If Passcode input is required on  
the BLUETOOTH receiving  
device, input “0000.”  
• The message standing for  
“Pairing complete” appears on  
the display of some  
BLUETOOTH receiving  
devices.  
• When pairing is complete, some  
BLUETOOTH devices may  
connect with the unit  
automatically.  
Tips  
• To pair with other BLUETOOTH  
devices, repeat steps 1 to 3 for each  
device.  
• To delete all pairing information, see  
“Initializing the unit” (page 20).
