BLUETOOTH About the BLUETOOTH wireless technology BLUETOOTH wireless technology is a short-range wireless technology that enables wireless data communication between digital devices. BLUETOOTH wireless technology operates within a range of about 10 meters (33 feet). Supported BLUETOOTH version, profiles and codecs Pairing this system with a BLUETOOTH device Pairing is an operation where BLUETOOTH devices register with each other beforehand.
5 Select the system’s name (for example, “GTK-XB7”) on the display of the BLUETOOTH device. Perform this step within 5 minutes, otherwise pairing will be canceled. In this case, repeat from step 3. Note If passkey is required on the BLUETOOTH device, enter “0000.” “Passkey” may be called “Passcode,” “PIN code,” “PIN number,” or “Password.” 6 Perform the BLUETOOTH connection on the BLUETOOTH device. When pairing is completed and the BLUETOOTH connection is established, the (BLUETOOTH) indicator lights up.

Depending on the BLUETOOTH device, the BLUETOOTH connection may be terminated automatically when you stop playback.
Playing back with high quality sound codec (AAC/LDAC) This system can receive data in the AAC or LDAC codec format from a BLUETOOTH device. It provides a playback with higher sound quality. You can select an audio codec option from the following two settings by using “SongPal” (page 19). The default setting of this system is “AAC ON.” To apply the changes of the setting, you need to terminate the BLUETOOTH connection (page 17), and then perform the BLUETOOTH connection again.
es, ith sing data Setting the BLUETOOTH standby mode Using “SongPal” via BLUETOOTH The BLUETOOTH standby mode enables the system to turn on automatically when you establish the BLUETOOTH connection with a BLUETOOTH device. This setting is turned off by default. About App This setting can only be configured by using “SongPal.“ For details on “SongPal,“ see “Using “SongPal” via BLUETOOTH” (page 19).
Notes • If the “SongPal” application does not work properly, terminate the BLUETOOTH connection (page 17), then perform the BLUETOOTH connection again so that the BLUETOOTH connection functions normally. • What you can control with “SongPal” varies depending on the connected device. • The specification and design of the application may change without notice. 20GB GTK-XB7.4-582-492-11(1) Sound Adjustment Adjusting the sound To Do this Adjust the volume Press +/–.
Other Operations Using the Party Chain function You can connect multiple audio systems in a chain to create a more interesting party environment and to produce higher sound output. An activated system in the chain will be the “Party Host” and share the music. Other systems will become “Party Guests” and play the same music as that being played by the “Party Host.” Setting up the Party Chain Set up a Party Chain by connecting all the systems using audio cords (not supplied).

If you select this function, the Party Chain function cannot be activated. Start playback, then press PARTY CHAIN on the unit.
6 Listening to music wirelessly with two systems (Speaker add function) To use this function, two GTK-XB7 systems are required. By connecting two GTK-XB7 systems via BLUETOOTH, you can enjoy music in a more powerful way. You can also select an audio output between stereo mode (stereo sound) and double mode (monaural sound). In the following steps, the two systems are described as “system ” (or master system) and “system .” Pr sy se Th on ou Ea th fo 4 Press FUNCTION system .

Make sure to pair the BLUETOOTH device with system (master system).
Note If you reset or initialize one of the two systems while using the speaker add function, make sure to turn off the other system. If you do not turn off the other system before restarting the speaker add function, there may be problems in making a BLUETOOTH connection and outputting sound.
