ABOUT aptX®

A Bluetooth connection is a bit like a data pipeline between devices.
Because the pipeline has a maximum width, it can sometimes be difficult to flow large audio files through it. aptX® enables CD-like quality wireless audio by solving the problem of sending the full music bandwidth over Bluetooth. aptX® reduces the size of the audio files so they can be squeezed through the wireless pipeline without affecting the sound quality.
D3020 supports aptX®.

AUTO STANDBY
The D 3020 can be setup to automatically go to standby mode if there is
no user interface interaction and no active Source input within 30 minutes.
