What is Bluetooth and how does it work?
Bluetooth is a wireless personal area network technology that allows devices to communicate with each other over short distances, typically up to 30 feet. It uses radio waves to transmit data between devices, and operates on the 2.4 GHz frequency band. Bluetooth devices use a technique called frequency hopping spread spectrum to minimize interference from other devices.
Bluetooth devices are categorized into three classes, each with a different range of transmission power. Class 1 devices have the highest transmission power and can transmit up to 100 meters, while Class 3 devices have the lowest transmission power and can only transmit up to 1 meter. Bluetooth devices can be paired with each other, allowing them to communicate and share data. This makes it easy to connect devices such as headphones, speakers, and smartphones to your Yamaha TSR 7850 receiver.

Is Bluetooth connectivity secure?
Bluetooth connectivity is considered to be secure, as it uses a variety of security protocols to protect data transmitted between devices. These protocols include encryption, authentication, and secure key exchange. Encryption scrambles data as it’s transmitted, making it unreadable to unauthorized devices. Authentication verifies the identity of devices, ensuring that only authorized devices can connect. Secure key exchange allows devices to exchange cryptographic keys securely, further protecting data transmissions.
However, as with any wireless technology, there is some risk of interference or eavesdropping. To minimize this risk, make sure to use a secure passcode or PIN when pairing devices, and keep your devices and receiver up to date with the latest software updates. Additionally, avoid using Bluetooth in areas with high levels of radio frequency interference, such as near other wireless devices or in areas with high levels of electromagnetic interference.
