Sony SRS XB41 front view of the speaker glowing.
Show you how to reset your Sony XB41 Extra Bass speaker to its default settings. Resetting restores the XB41 to default state. Plus, resetting erases any earlier paired Bluetooth devices from its memory. Clearing these stops this speaker from pairing to any nearby Bluetooth devices. Also, you might reset to get it ready for sale or re-gifting, or to stop it from pairing wirelessly with devices you no longer wish it to connect with.
Press and release the Power button for a half-second or so. Find the Power button as shown in the next picture.
Find the Power button, as shown in the last picture above.
Then, the status light comes on, as shown next.
The speaker may make a ding-dong tone sound when it powers up and announce that it has paired, should it connect to a nearby device. Or it may make no sound at all if it does not. Whether the unit pairs or not though, this reset routine works the same way, as follows.
Find these buttons as shown next. They are both on the top button panel, as we point out in the next picture.
The XB41 then enters reset mode.
Then after a very small pause, the speaker powers OFF, and the status lamp goes dark, as shown next. Note that on the SRS XB41, there is no power-down sound.
Next, power on the unit again, as detailed in step 1 above.
Note that after reset, the XB41 comes up in discovery mode. The Pairing Mode lamp quickly flashes blue to let you know this. E.g. See this in the next picture.
This is a signal that you may then look for this speaker on a nearby BT device, and pair to it if you so desire.
The reset is now finished. So you may now sell or gift it, or pair it again with your favorite Bluetooth devices.
After a reset, the XB41 no longer automatically connects with any Bluetooth device. So to restore auto joining, you manually pair it with a device. Then after that, any time that both speaker and that device have Bluetooth turned on, and they’re near to each other, pairing would automatically take place once more.
