Response profile
A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution
Profile) Ver. 1.0/1.2

to A2DP, but not AVRCP, you cannot
operate it using the control panel of the

the operations on the mobile device are
available the same as when a portable

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.
If a device which supports AVRCP Ver.
1.6 or higher is connected, song
information may not display correctly.
The system may not operate normally
depending on the Bluetooth
