Q: QuestionHope this makes sense, maybe it's already been covered but I don't see it. I'm wondering can I use this as a sub in my vehicle. Can I pair my phone to this and my vehicles bluetooth at the same time and play music simultaneously Thanks Mark

Asked 4 years ago by MARK.

• A:Answer Hi MARK, Thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately, you cannot use this Portable Bluetooth Speaker as a subwoofer for your vehicle. I'd suggest checking out the Sony Electronics website and go to the Car & Marine Audio section on this link if you're looking for speakers for your vehicle. https://electronics.sony.com/audio/car-marine-audio/c/all-car-marine-audio You can pair your phone to this unit via Bluetooth, but there it is not possible to pair your phone and your vehicle's Bluetooth at the same time. You may refer to this link for Bluetooth pairing procedure of this speaker: https://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/srs-xp500/v1/en/contents/TP1000243081.html Hope this helps! Regards, Sam

Q: QuestionHello, can I play music from my TV through the speaker?

Asked 4 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer Hi there, thank you for your inquiry. This speaker can be connected to TV via Bluetooth that supports the following Bluetooth profiles: A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) Enables you to enjoy high-quality audio content wirelessly. AVRCP (Audio Video Remote Control Profile) Enables you to adjust the volume and operate to play, pause or skip to the beginning of the next/current track. If your TV doesn’t support Bluetooth but has a Headphone audio out (3.5mm/Aux) port then you can connect it to the AUDIO IN jack of the SRSXP700 using a 3.5mm audio cable. Hope this helps! -Sam

Q: QuestionCan I connect this speaker to an audio mixer?

Asked 4 years ago by JamesBon.

This question was asked about the related product: Sony - XP500 Portable Bluetooth Party Speaker with Water Resistance - Black

• A:Answer Hello JamesBon, Thanks for reaching out with your question. The XP500 does have a 3.5mm audio in port that might do the trick. This depends on if your mixer has a headphone 3.5mm port. Other than that, if your mixer supports Bluetooth out, it should be no problem. Unfortunately there are many mixers and we cant guarantee they will be compatible. Hope this helps, -Sam

Q: QuestionCan I use this in Bolivia ? 230V. I generally buy products that say 100 - 240V. I saw this is 120V. I’m thinking to buy a voltage converter (in case that I can’t use it without an converter).

Asked 4 years ago by Rob.

• A:Answer Hi Rob, thanks for the inquiry. Yes, you can. However, you may need a transformer to make the SRSXP700 work since US models will require 120 V AC, 60 Hz. Hope this helps! -Sam

Q: QuestionHow does this speaker compare to the JBL party box 310?

Asked 4 years ago by Collin.

• A:Answer Read my review on the product page comparing it to the PB310, In a nutshell: PB310: Wins in the lows/bass department. Best for EDM, bassheads, hip-hop. Physical Bass Thump, Deep Deep Lows. Louder. XP700: Wins in the "balanced everyday" department, looks better in my opinion and just does more for me than the PB310, your mileage may, and will vary. I kept the XP700.
