Setting BLUETOOTH audio codecs (Bluetooth Codec - AAC/Bluetooth Codec - LDAC)
You can enable and disable AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) or LDAC audio.
- Select [Setup] - [Bluetooth Settings] from the home menu.
- Select [Bluetooth Codec - AAC] or [Bluetooth Codec - LDAC].
- Select [On] or [Off].
- On: AAC and/or LDAC audio is available if the BLUETOOTH device supports AAC or LDAC.
- Off: AAC and/or LDAC audio is not available.
Note
- When you change this setting, the setting is applied from the next time you connect the BLUETOOTH device.
- This function works only when the [Bluetooth Mode] is set to [Receiver] or [Transmitter].
Hint
- You can enjoy high-quality sound if AAC or LDAC is enabled.
- LDAC is an audio coding technology developed by Sony that enables the transmission of High-Resolution (Hi-Res) Audio content, even over a BLUETOOTH connection. Unlike other BLUETOOTH compatible coding technologies such as SBC, it operates without any down-conversion of the Hi-Res Audio content (*), and allows approximately three times more data (**) than those other technologies to be transmitted over a BLUETOOTH wireless network with unprecedented sound quality, by means of efficient coding and optimized packetization.
* excluding DSD format contents
** in comparison with SBC (Subband Coding) when the bitrate of 990kbps (96/48kHz) or 909kbps (88.2/44.1kHz) is selected
