Power On/Off
Turn on: Short press button A after connecting to a USB device.
Turn off: When the device is on, hold button A for about 2s until indicator light B and C turn off.
Basic Operations
Play/Pause: In RX/TX mode, short press button D.
Clear pairing: When the device is powering on and in RX/TX mode (not pairing state), hold button A+D at the same time for about 5s.
Force to pair: When the device is powering on and in RX/TX mode, hold button D for about 3s until indicator light C flashes alternately in red and green.
Reconnecting state: Indicator light C quickly flashes twice every 2 seconds in green.
Using with Two Bluetooth Devices Simultaneously
Bluetooth receiving (RX):
After a successful pairing with Device 1, hold button D for around 3s to enter pairing mode again. Search for "BTA30" on Device 2 and pair it with the BTA30. On Device 1, select "BTA30" in the device list and reconnect. You could also restart the BTA30 after a successful pairing with Device 2 to use it with two Bluetooth devices simultaneously.
Bluetooth transmitting (TX):
The connecting steps are similar to the RX connection. After successful pairings with the two receiving devices respectively, restart the BTA30 to use it with the two Bluetooth receiving devices simultaneously.
Note: When working in LDAC and aptX LL Bluetooth codec in TX mode, the BTA30 cannot be connected to two Bluetooth devices simultaneously.
Audio Input/Output
Bluetooth receiving (RX):
Bluetooth devices can search for "BTA30" and complete the connection through Bluetooth, outputting audio via the BTA30's line, coaxial, or optical port.
Bluetooth transmitting (TX):
The BTA30 can be connected to Bluetooth receiving devices, such as the BTR5 and BTR3K. Audio can be input to the BTA30 through its USB input, coaxial, or optical port.
DAC Mode:
Connect the BTA30 to computers through the USB port, outputting audio via the BTA30's line out, coaxial output, or optical output. Alternatively, decode audio signals input by the BTA30's coaxial and optical port, and output audio through the line out port.
Audio Input/Output Priority
Bluetooth receiving (RX):
Line out, Coaxial output, and Optical output can all work at the same time.
Bluetooth transmitting (TX):
USB DAC input > Coaxial input > Optical input.
DAC mode:
Input priority: USB DAC input > Coaxial input > Optical input.
Output priority (USB DAC input): Line out, Coaxial output, and Optical output can all work at the same time.
Note: Under USB input DAC mode, no driver installation is needed. Simply select the BTA30 as the output device when connecting it to a computer.
