An iPhone in front of the Sony SRS XG500 boombox speaker.
Shows how to pair Sony speaker SRS-XG500 boombox unit with typical wireless devices. E.g. These include the iPhone, iPod Touch, and the iPad line of Apple phones, media players, and tablets. A similar routine also works with Android tablets and phones as well.
Start with your SRS-XG500 OFF and the Power lamp dark. Then run through these directions to pair it to your source BT device. We use here an iPad Air tablet for this demo.
Firstly, press the Home button to reveal the smart device’s Home screen.
Then we find ours on the second page of the Home screen.
Thirdly, touch the Settings app icon.
The smart device then shows the first page of its settings, as shown in the next step.
Our Bluetooth Settings screen displays as follows. Note that our Bluetooth is ON here. But since our Sony SRS-XG500 is currently OFF. it cannot be in Bluetooth pairing mode. Thus it does not appear in the Bluetooth devices list. Also, we don’t see it since we’ve never linked this speaker with this tablet before.
Additionally, turn on the speaker by quickly pressing and releasing its Power button.
The speaker then powers up. So its status lamp lights up green.
But since our iPad does not know about this speaker, the SRS-XG500 will not pair with it automatically.
Now, to see your speaker on your device, place it into Bluetooth discovery / pairing mode. To do that, press and hold the Pairing button. Then release it after a quarter second.
Find the Pairing button as we see in the next picture.
Then the speaker emits a rise-fall beep. Also, the Bluetooth Status lamp begins flashing in a pulse-pulse-pause-pulse-pulse-pause pattern.
So see the screen shot next. We found our 500, as pointed at by the green arrow.
Then tap the listed speaker in the discovered devices list.
Your mobile device then pairs with the speaker.
So the the mobile device’s Bluetooth Settings screen might then change to look something like the following. Note the now-connected SRS-XG500 entry.
At last, we have now successfully paired this Sony Boombox speaker with a common mobile tablet device.
