The SDV 3100 HV has been tested with a large number of Bluetooth-capable
mobile devices. However, we are unable to guarantee general compatibility
with all devices available commercially since the range of equipment is so
wide, and the various implementations of the Bluetooth standard differ
widely in some cases. If you encounter a problem with Bluetooth transfer,
please contact the manufacturer of the mobile device.
The maximum range of a Bluetooth audio transfer is normally about 3 to 5
metres, but the effective range may be affected by a number of factors. To
achieve good range and interference-free reception there should be no
obstacles or persons between the SDV 3100 HV and the mobile device.
Bluetooth audio transfers take place in what is known as the “everyman
frequency band”, in which many different radio transmitters operate -
including WLAN, garage door openers, baby intercoms, weather stations,
etc. Radio interference caused by these other services may cause brief
dropouts or - in rare cases - even failure of the connection, and such
problems cannot be excluded. If problems of this kind occur frequently in
your environment, we recommend that you use the Streaming Client or the
USB input of the SDV 3100 HV instead of Bluetooth.
By their nature, Bluetooth transmissions always involve data reduction, and
the attainable sound quality varies according to the mobile device in use,
and the format of the music to be played. As a basic rule the maximum
quality of music which is already stored in a data-reduced format, such as
MP3, AAC, WMA or OGG-Vorbis, is worse than with uncompressed formats
such as WAV or FLAC. For the highest reproduction quality we always
recommend the use of the Streaming Client or the USB input of the
SDV 3100 HV instead of Bluetooth.
