This unit has a built-in Bluetooth 5.1 audio receiver, and can output sound played on a computer or portable audio device that supports Bluetooth (Bluetooth device).
ATTENTION
The Bluetooth function of this unit is not guaranteed to enable connection or operation with all Bluetooth devices.
This unit supports the following Bluetooth profiles.
A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile)
AVRCP (Audio/Video Remote Control Profile)
In order to transfer audio by Bluetooth, the Bluetooth device must support A2DP.

Even if a Bluetooth device supports the same profiles, though, its functions might differ according to its specifications.
This unit supports the following A2DP codecs. It will automatically select one of them during audio transfer.
SBC
AAC
The unit will select the appropriate A2DP codec to use according to the codec compatibility of the other Bluetooth device and communication conditions.
NOTE
The A2DP codec to be used cannot be selected by pressing a button, for example.
Due to characteristics of Bluetooth wireless technology, playback from a Bluetooth device will be slightly delayed compared to playback from this unit.
This unit supports SCMS-T as a form of content protection when transmitting audio, so it can play protected audio.

Before connecting to a Bluetooth device, follow these procedures to attach the included Bluetooth antenna.
1.Attach the included Bluetooth antenna to the Bluetooth antenna connector.
2.Turn the Bluetooth antenna nut to secure it to the antenna connector.
3.Raise the Bluetooth antenna.
ATTENTION
Use the included antenna, which was designed for use with the RX-BT10.
Be careful with the bending direction of the antenna. Do not forcefully bend it.
The antenna can be elongated by using a commercially-available cable with an RP-SMA connector.
For the antenna cable, use one with 50 Ω impedance that is 20 m or less.
ATTENTION
When elongating the antenna cable, use the antenna parts included with the product.
1.Loosen the Euroblock plug terminal screws.
NOTE
Use a flat-blade screwdriver with a width of 2.5 mm or less.
2.Insert wires.
NOTE
AWG16–AWG28 cables are compatible with the included Euroblock plug. Using wires within the compatible range, trim about 7 mm of the protective sheaths from their ends.
3.Tighten the Euroblock plug terminal screws.
NOTE
Confirm that the wires cannot be pulled out.
The pairing button can be extended by connecting a commercially-available 2-wire momentary push switch (button).
This is an example of connections.
Precautions before making connections
Carefully read the operation manuals of the devices to be connected and then connect them correctly.
Before making connections, turn this unit and all equipment to be connected off (standby).
Before connecting audio equipment, turn down the output level knob (). Failure to do so could cause sudden loud noises from monitoring equipment, and this could damage the equipment or harm hearing.
Connecting with Bluetooth devices
Connect the included antenna to the front panel in order to use Bluetooth.
Pairing
1.Press the PAIRING button on the front panel for at least two seconds.
The indicator to the side of the PAIRING button will blink while pairing.
2.Operate the Bluetooth device to be connected to this unit.
Refer to the operation manual of that Bluetooth device for connection procedures.
The indicator stays lit when connected to a Bluetooth device.
3.Operate the connected Bluetooth device and adjust the volume.
When a Bluetooth device is connected, playback will be paused.
After adjusting the Bluetooth device volume, start playback.
Bluetooth volume cannot be adjusted by itself with this unit.
Adjust the volume on the Bluetooth device.
ATTENTION
The Bluetooth function is designed to use AVRCP basic commands to transmit playback pause commands. Operation is not guaranteed, however, with all devices.
Before connecting, minimize the output level knob and the Bluetooth device volume.
NOTE
When this unit is turned on, it will automatically try to connect with the Bluetooth device to which it was previously connected.
At this time, connection will automatically be canceled if connection is not possible because that Bluetooth device is not turned on or its Bluetooth function is turned off.
About the name of this model when shown on other Bluetooth devices
Units will appear with the name “RX-BT10-XXXXXX” on other Bluetooth devices. “XXXXXX” is a 6-digit random alphanumeric code that is different for each unit.
This allows individual units to be identified.
The name of a unit can be changed, though, using the functions of an iOS, iPadOS or Android device.* However, the changed unit name will only be used on that iOS, iPadOS or Android device. Be aware that the name shown will not be changed on other Bluetooth devices.
*Check the operation procedures for the device being used to change the name.
Disconnecting
The Bluetooth device that is currently connected can be disconnected from the unit.
Press the PAIRING button on the front panel for at least two seconds.
This ends the connection. The indicator will start blinking and the unit will be ready to connect.
NOTE
After about two minutes pass, the indicator will become unlit and Bluetooth will turn off.
Pressing the PAIRING button for at least two seconds while the indicator is blinking will make it become unlit and turn off Bluetooth.
A maximum of 3 devices can be connected at the same time. Connecting a 4th device will disconnect the 1st device.
Pairing with up to 8 devices is possible. Pairing a 9th device will remove the pairing with the 1st device.
This unit does not have an operation to remove pairings.
If a device leaves the connection range while connected, it will reconnect automatically if brought back in range within one minute. Automatic reconnection will not occur if more than one minute passes. Manual connection will be necessary.
