function built in to your devices.
Choose one of the following three connection
methods best suited for the Bluetooth device.
For details on how to operate your device, refer
to the operating instructions supplied with the
device.
Pairing with a Bluetooth device:
see
Pattern A
Bluetooth devices need to be “paired” with each
other beforehand.
Connecting with a paired device:
see
Pattern B
To listen to music with a Bluetooth device that
has been paired, see this pattern.
One touch connection with a smartphone
(NFC):
see
Pattern C
Using an NFC-compatible smartphone, you can
establish a Bluetooth connection by just
touching the unit with it.
Check the following before operating the unit.
Both the unit and the device are placed within
1 m of each other.
The unit is connected to the AC power cord, or
the OPR/BATT indicator
is lit.
The operating instructions supplied with the
device are at hand.
Pattern A
Pairing and connecting with a
Bluetooth device
1
Press BLUETOOTH

the display of the Bluetooth device.
If “SONY:ZS-RS70BT/BTB” does not appear on
the device’s display, repeat from step 2.
Note
Some devices cannot display a list of detected
devices.
6
If Passcode* input is required on the
display of the Bluetooth device, input
“0000.”
The Bluetooth connection is established.
“BT AUDIO” appears on the display.
* “Passcode” may be referred to as “Passkey,”

Pairing mode of the unit is cancelled after about
5 minutes, and the Bluetooth indicator (
) flashes.
If pairing mode is cancelled while performing this
procedure, start over from step 3.
The passcode of the unit is fixed as “0000.” The
unit cannot be paired with a Bluetooth device
whose Passcode is not “0000.”
Once Bluetooth devices are paired, there is no
need to pair those devices again. However, in the
following case, you will need to perform the
pairing procedure again.
The unit is paired with 10 or more devices.
The unit can be paired with up to 9 Bluetooth
devices. If a new device is paired after 9 devices
have been paired, the device whose latest
connection time is the oldest among the 9
