Playing back with high
quality sound codec
(AAC/LDAC™)
This system can receive data in the
AAC or LDAC codec format from a
BLUETOOTH device. It provides a
playback with higher sound quality.
You can select an audio codec option
from the following two settings
by using "Sony | Music Center"
(page 20). The default setting of
this system is "AUTO."
• AUTO: The system detects the codec
used on the source device and
automatically selects the optimal
codec from "SBC," "AAC*" or "LDAC*."
• SBC: "SBC" is always applied
regardless of the codec used on the
source device.
* Available only when the codec is
supported by your BLUETOOTH device.
To apply the changes of the setting,
you need to terminate the BLUETOOTH
connection (page 16), and then
perform the BLUETOOTH connection
again.
Note
You can enjoy higher sound quality
when the source device is compatible
with AAC/LDAC and this function is set
to "AUTO." However, the sound may be
interrupted depending on the conditions
of the BLUETOOTH communication. If this
happens, set the function to "SBC."
