Using Hands-free Calling While Listening
to Music
You can enjoy hands-free calling via BLUETOOTH connection with a BLUETOOTH
mobile phone that has a music function and supports the BLUETOOTH profile
A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile), and HFP (Hands-free Profile) or HSP
(Headset Profile).
If your BLUETOOTH mobile phone supports both HFP and HSP, set to HFP.
Operations may vary depending on the BLUETOOTH mobile phone. Refer also to
the operating instructions supplied with your mobile phone.
1 Make the BLUETOOTH connection between the system and
the mobile phone.
For details on the BLUETOOTH connection procedure, see “How to Make
Wireless Connection with BLUETOOTH Devices.” The BLUETOOTH connection is
established and “
(BLUETOOTH)” in the display stays on.
2 Start playback on the BLUETOOTH mobile phone, then
adjust the volume.
Set the volume of the BLUETOOTH mobile phone to a moderate level, and
press VOLUME –/+ on the system.
When the BLUETOOTH device is connected to the system (“
(BLUETOOTH)” is
lit), you can use hands-free calling even if the BLUETOOTH function is not
activated.
When there is an incoming call or outgoing call, the system automatically
changes to the BLUETOOTH function.
To call
Operate the BLUETOOTH mobile phone. Check that a dialing tone is heard on the
system and talk into the system. If no dialing tone is heard, press
(call) on
the system for about 2 seconds to change the call device to the system.
To receive a call
When an incoming call arrives, the playback or radio pauses and a ring tone is
heard from the system. Press
(call) on the system and talk into the system.
Tips
If no ring tone is heard from the system when an incoming call arrives, stop playback or radio
and press
(call) to talk.
You can use the hands-free calling when playback is completed.
During a call, press VOLUME –/+ on the system to adjust the volume. The volume of a call
and that of a playback are set separately.
Note
When using a mobile phone, keep it 50 cm or more away from the system. If they are too
close together, noise may be heard.
To end a call
Press (call) . If you were listening to music with any function when the call
arrived, music will be resumed when the call has finished.
After use
Do any of the following to terminate the BLUETOOTH connection.
Set the BLUETOOTH function of the BLUETOOTH device to off. For details, refer
to the operating instructions supplied with the device.
Turn off the BLUETOOTH device.
Touch the system with the smartphone again to disconnect (NFC compatible
smartphones only).
System button functions during a call
Available functions may vary depending on the BLUETOOTH mobile phone, or the
profiles supported by the BLUETOOTH mobile phone. Refer to the operating
instructions supplied with the BLUETOOTH mobile phone.
Status
(call)
Standby
Press once to start voice dial (voice dial compatible
mobile phones only).
Press and hold for a few seconds to redial the phone
number that is dialed last time.

Using Hands-free Calling with Another BLUETOOTH Mobile Phone
While Listening to Music
You can enjoy hands-free calling with another BLUETOOTH mobile phone while
listening to music with a BLUETOOTH music player.
One-touch connection (NFC) cannot be used in this procedure.
Operations may vary depending on the BLUETOOTH device. This type of
BLUETOOTH connection may not be established depending on the combination
of the BLUETOOTH devices. Refer also to the operating instructions supplied
with your BLUETOOTH devices.
1 Make the BLUETOOTH connections between the system
and a BLUETOOTH music player via A2DP, and between the
system and a BLUETOOTH mobile phone via HFP or HSP.
For details on the BLUETOOTH connection procedure, see “How to Make
Wireless Connection with BLUETOOTH Devices.” The BLUETOOTH connection is
established and “
(BLUETOOTH)” in the display stays on.
Tips
To use only the calling function of a BLUETOOTH mobile phone that also has a music
function, establish BLUETOOTH connection between the system and the mobile phone
via HFP or HSP, not via A2DP.
Depending on the BLUETOOTH mobile phone, while the BLUETOOTH connection is
established via HFP or HSP, the other BLUETOOTH connection via A2DP may also be
occupied by the same BLUETOOTH mobile phone. A BLUETOOTH music player cannot be
connected with this system in this case.
Note
To make the same connection with the same devices after turning the system off, follow
this procedure again.

connecting cord (not supplied) or both
connectors of the USB cable (not
supplied) are firmly inserted into the
system and the connected device.
If you are connecting a personal
computer to the system, make sure
the audio output setting of the
computer is set for a BLUETOOTH
device.
Pair this system and the BLUETOOTH
device again.
If the connected device is monaural,
sound will only be output from the left
