ized devices, whether they are within range or
not. After a device search, devices which are
within range but not authorized are also dis-
played.
If the multimedia system cannot find your Blue-

as a media output location for the audio
device used.
i The Bluetooth ®
audio device must support
Bluetooth ®
version 2.1 for connection via
Secure Simple Pairing. The multimedia sys-
tem creates a six-digit code which is dis-
played simultaneously on both devices that
are to be connected.
For some Bluetooth ®
audio devices, the pair-
ing must also be confirmed within 10 sec-
onds. External authorization
If the multimedia system does not find your
Bluetooth ®
audio device (Y page 154), this may
