What is pairing?

The registration between Bluetooth devices is called “pairing.” Once the devices are paired, you can easily connect your Walkman to the Bluetooth device from the next time onwards using a simple operation.

Connecting your Walkman to Bluetooth audio devices

Bluetooth audio devices need to be paired with each other beforehand. Once Bluetooth audio devices are paired, there is no need for pairing again, except in the following cases.

  • When the pairing information of your Walkman on the Bluetooth audio device is deleted.

  • When your Walkman is formatted and all pairing information is deleted.

  • When the pairing information is deleted by any operations other than above.

Transferring content to/from another Bluetooth device

Pairing in advance is not necessary because this is executed when your Walkman sends or receives content via a Bluetooth connection. The pairing information is stored on the Walkman but is deleted in the following cases.

  • When the pairing information of your Walkman on the Bluetooth device is deleted.

  • When your Walkman is reset to the factory settings.

  • When the pairing information is deleted by any operations other than above.

Note

  • Your Walkman cannot be paired if the number of paired devices exceeds 20. If you want to pair another device, delete an unnecessary paired device beforehand.
