of BLUETOOTH audio streaming. “Priority on sound quality” enables you to play back with a setting of, not only SBC, but also

AAC and LDAC, so that you can enjoy high-quality sound via BLUETOOTH. “Priority on stable connection” provides you with a

more stable BLUETOOTH audio streaming. “Priority on sound quality” is the default setting.
