The key to pairing two Sony SRS XB30 speakers together is the ADD button. It lets you join two XB30s for Stereo or Double modes. It’s the fourth button from the left edge of the buttons panel, just to the right of the Play-Pause button, and just to the left of the Volume DOWN button.
The Stereo Pairing function lets you join two XB30s such that one plays the left channel of the stereo program, while the other plays the right channel. Now to create a stereo pair, you need two SRS XB30s. Pairing the 30 with speakers other than the same model did not work in our tests, and the Sony documentation states that you must have two identical speakers in Bluetooth range of each other for connecting the two as a stereo pair to work.
When stereo mode is active, one or the other of the L and R lamps glows, depending on which channel the speaker is set up to play. On the speaker that plays the left stereo channel, the L lamp glows and the R lamp is dark. On the right speaker, the R lamp glows and L lamp is dark.
Now To form a stereo pairing of two XB30 speakers, do as follows.
When in Stereo Pair mode, each speaker is assigned one of the two stereo channels (either L or R). On each speaker, one or the other of the L and R lamps lights to tell you which channel that particular speaker is playing. Now drawing on our example above, let’s say that Speaker One is playing the left channel, and Speaker Two is playing the right. In that case, the L lamp on Speaker One glows while the R lamp is dark.
Conversely on Speaker Two, the L lamp is dark while the R lamp glows.
With the ADD button, you can reverse these assignments such that Speaker One plays the right channel while Speaker Two plays the left. To do that, simply press and release the ADD button repeatedly on either speaker until the L and R lights on each speaker display the channel assignment you desire.
When you’re ready to break the stereo pairing, simply press and hold the ADD button on one of the speakers for three seconds. A tone then sounds and the L and R lights go out, indicating that the pairing is now over.
When two XB30 speaker operate in Double Mode, both speakers play a monaural version of the music. I.e. They both play the sum (L + R) of the left and right stereo channels.
Double Mode is the mode that the speakers initially pair in when you connect them together. But if you have since then, switched to stereo mode and want to get back to Double Mode, you simply press and release the ADD button on one of the speakers until both L and R lamps light up. When that happens, your speakers are now operating in Double Mode.
