Bluetooth
Your R5 supports aptX for CD quality streaming and aptX HD
for 24-bit hi-res streaming. It will automatically connect to
your bluetooth device using the highest quality connection
supported by your device.
Pairing your Bluetooth device
When you have changed the source to Bluetooth, wait until
Awaiting connection... is shown and the indicator light on top
flashes.
Use the Bluetooth setup on your smart device to pair and
connect it to your R5. It will appear in the list of paired devices
as Ruark R5*. When connected, BT Connected + your device
name (eg Ozzie's phone) is displayed.
It may take a few seconds for your R5 to appear in the list on
your device, and in some cases you may need to input "0000"
as the pairing password.
If you do not connect within a few minutes, your R5 will stop
attempting to connect and show No connection. To connect,
select MENU > Connect device.
Connecting your Bluetooth device
As soon as you switch to Bluetooth, your R5 will display
Connecting as it attempts to connect to the last device it was
paired with.
If that device isn't available, it displays Awaiting connection...
To connect to your R5, ensure the Bluetooth function on your
device is on and select Ruark R5* from the paired devices list
on your Bluetooth device.
