Enjoying seamless playback with speakers (Auto Switch)
You can enjoy wireless playback while having the audio output source automatically switched between the Auto Switch compatible headset and the speaker without operating the headset or the speaker.
This function is available by updating the software from “Sony | Headphones Connect” to “Sony | Sound Connect”.
