Bluetooth® audio device corresponds
only to A2DP, but not AVRCP, you
cannot operate it using the control panel

NOTE
  The battery consumption of
Bluetooth® audio devices increases
while Bluetooth ® is connected.   If a general mobile phone device
is USB connected during music
playback over the Bluetooth
®
connection, the Bluetooth ®
connection is disconnected. For
this reason, you cannot have
music playback over a Bluetooth
®
connection and music playback using
a USB connection at the same time.
  The system may not operate
normally depending on the
Bluetooth
