Selecting the quality for music playback via a BLUETOOTH connection (Codec)

The “Prioritize Sound Quality” and “Prioritize Stable Connection” preferences are available on the speaker for the BLUETOOTH connection quality. The “Prioritize Sound Quality” preference provides compatibility not only with SBC but also with AAC for music playback of high sound quality, whereas the “Prioritize Stable Connection” preference enables music playback via more stable BLUETOOTH connections. At the time of purchase, the “Prioritize Sound Quality” preference is selected.

  • Prioritize Sound Quality (default setting): Optimal codec is automatically selected from AAC and SBC.

  • Prioritize Stable Connection: SBC is selected.

  1. Turn on the speaker.

    The status indicator lights up in white.

  2. Start the “Sony | Sound Connect” app.
  3. Select either of the codec preferences through [Bluetooth Connection Quality]: [Prioritize Sound Quality] or [Prioritize Stable Connection].

Hint

  • When using the Stereo Pair function, the codec automatically switches to SBC.

Note

  • While the “Prioritize Sound Quality” preference is selected, noise or sound interruption may occur depending on the setting of your BLUETOOTH device and ambient conditions. In such a case, change the BLUETOOTH connection quality to the “Prioritize Stable Connection” preference.
