Abstract

A method is provided for transmitting audio signals from at least one hi-fi signal source to at least one hi-fi signal sink, wherein the audio signals are compressed in the MP3 compression standard and then transmitted from the at least one hi-fi signal source to the at least one hi-fi signal sink via the Bluetooth radio standard and in a single Bluetooth radio channel.

Claims

5. A method for transmitting audio signals from at least one hi-fi signal source to at least one hi-fi signal sink, the method comprising the steps of:

compressing the audio signals in an MP3 compression standard; and

transmitting the compressed audio signals from the at least one hi-fi signal source to the at least one hi-fi signal sink via a Bluetooth radio standard and in a single Bluetooth radio channel.

6. A method for transmitting audio signals from at least one hi-fi signal source to at least one hi-fi signal sink as claimed in claim 5, the method further comprising the step of driving at least one of the at least one hi-fi signal source and the at least one hi-fi signal sink, via a remote control device, wherein the remote control device transmits control signals in the single Bluetooth radio channel to the respective at least one hi-fi signal source and the at least one hi-fi signal sink.

7. A hi-fi signal sink, comprising a receiving device for receiving compressed radio-transmitted audio signals from a hi-fi signal source, wherein the hi-fi signal sink may receive and reproduce the audio signals which are compressed according to an MP3 compression standard and are transmitted according to a Bluetooth radio standard.

8. A hi-fi signal source, comprising a radio device for transmitting compressed audio signals to a hi-fi signal sink, wherein the hi-fi signal source may compress the audio signals according to a MP3 compression standard and may transmit the compressed audio signals according to a Bluetooth radio standard.
