Just select connect to Bluetooth Stereo Headset on your device that you want to pair with it. Sony says it only pairs with Sony cell phones and mp3 players but that's a lie.
Worth every penny. This is the only home stereo with this capability that I know of under $600.
It will pair with any device with the same technology A2DP. it works but was not new like they said and had a cracked case that I managed to get back together so the crack does not show too bad, but this system does it all.
Works with all Bluetooth cell phones as long as it is A2DP. I have mine streaming music from my Samsung A727 Cell phone and my Samsung P2 Bluetooth mp3 player.

In addition to AM/FM, CD and iPod, I also have my TV audio output connected to the 'Audio In' jack, so I can listen to the TV from multiple rooms. It works great and sound quality is excellent. Haven't had a chance to use the bluetooth feature yet. I ordered this system to be used with a whole house audio system. I'm not using the speakers (so I can't rate the quality) because I have it connected directly to the input of a 12 channel audio amplifier. I just wish the 'audio in' jack was on the back instead of the front panel (would look much better).
Ann I am a happy camper because the setup was easy and everything works as it should and sounds great in my small living room. I didn't need the i-Pod docking station, but I bought this system anyway because it had what I wanted and I liked the reviews. There are a lot of Internet radio stations that play classical music and the sound comes through beautifully on this Bluetooth system. I wanted a compact stereo system with Bluetooth so that I could stream Internet radio music from my laptop to the stereo system. Almost every device I have is Sony, so I always look for Sony first, because I like their products and technical support. I can play music from my Sony Ericsson mobile phone and music from my Sony VAIO laptop.
The pros are many:Bluetooth pairing with my HTC/Dash smartphone stuffed with 2gig of 192 bit music was a joy to experience. I only wish I bought 2 at the super price back then. The display is crisp and clear.The front stereo input jack comes in handy for Aux play of almost any audio device.Power is ample for her large bedroom. It has proven to be a great move. Thankfully my friend had some nice JVC speakers from the previous stereo we chunked onto the curb.
2008 as a Christmas gift for my girlfriend at a "volume" outlet (Sorry Amazon) locally. Oh, a mute button would be nice. It plays very well and mutes itself when a call comes in.Radio presets are simple to set and the FM tuner is sharp. They were slightly larger but matched the impedence which is important.All-in-all, I highly recommend the feature rich CMT-BX50BTi. The CMT-BX50BTi was purchased Dec.
The unit's speakers and CD drawer eject switch are the only "cons" in my opinion. We'll probably hook up her new HDTV when the old CRT unit becomes useless.If you have or can find a set of quality, ported, 6-Ohm book-shelf speakers to replace the stock units, you will enjoy the difference.
I also would prefer to have control knobs, especially for the volume.Overall though I am happy with the purchase and the price was decent for a new model. I like the size, sound, bluetooth and IPod capabilities. I have always been a Sony fan but I really scrutinize my purchases anymore. I looked at several brands before settling on the CMTBX50BTi. It also has CD player.I know Sony likes the black finish and it looks good but it makes it difficult to see the controls and labels.
