The Sony SRS XP500 speaker showing as connected on iPadOS.
Shows how to pair the Sony SRS XP500 karaoke party speaker with common 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.
With your SRS XP 500 powered OFF (power button is dark), run through these directions to pair it to your source BT device. We’re using an iPad Air tablet computer 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.
Then our Bluetooth Settings screen displays as follows. Note that our Bluetooth is running here. But our Sony SRS XP500 is currently OFF. So 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 our mobile device before.
Additionally, turn on the XP500 by quickly pressing and releasing its Power button. See this, pointed at by the blue arrow, in the next shot.
The speaker then powers up, and its status lamp glows green, as we see in the next picture.
But since our iPad does not know about this speaker, the SRS XP500 will not pair with it automatically.
So to see your speaker on your device, place it into Bluetooth discovery / pairing mode. To do that, press the Pairing button, and release after a quarter second.
Find the Pairing button as we see in the next picture, pointed at by the green arrow. It’s the second button in from the left on the top button panel, just to the right of the Power button.
Then the speaker emits a rise-fall beep. Also, the Bluetooth Status lamp begins flashing in a pulse-pulse-pause-pulse-pulse-pause pattern.
See the screen shot next. See the XP500 in the Other Devices list.
Then tap the speaker in the Other Devices list.
Your mobile device then pairs with the XP500.
E.g. The the mobile device’s Bluetooth Settings screen might then change to look something like the following. Note the now-connected SRS-XP500 entry.
At last, we have now successfully paired this party speaker with a common mobile tablet device.
