The Sony SRS XG300 boombox speaker charging.
We give here the Sony SRS XG300 tabletop speaker reset directions, to put it back to its default factory settings. E.g. Resetting returns sound mode and light settings to their fresh-out-of-the-box values. Plus, a reset erases any earlier connected Bluetooth devices from memory. So it stops this unit from auto pairing to any nearby wireless devices afterwards. Moreover, you might do this to get this speaker ready for sale or re-gifting. Or reset to stop it from pairing with devices you no longer want it to pair with.
Press and release the Power button for a half-second or so. E.g. Find the Power button as shown in the next picture. It’s on the front top of the unit, first button on the far left.
Then, the status light comes on.
The unit then makes a rising electronic music sound.
Furthermore, the XG 300 may also make a ding-dong sound and announce that it has connected to a device. Or it may make no sound at all if it doesn’t. But whether it does or doesn’t pair though, this reset to default state routine works the same way, as follows.
Find these buttons as shown next. Both of them are in the top button panel. The MEGA BASS button is the last button on the right. It’s in the first group of buttons on the left top front. And the Play-Pause button is in the rightmost group of buttons. It is the first button on the left in that cluster.
Hold these in until the speaker shuts off, and all lights go dark.
After nearly 6 seconds, the XG300 powers down, and the status lamp and party lights (if enabled) all go dark. See the dark lights in the next shot.
Next, power on the speaker again, as detailed in step 1 above.
Note that after the reset, this speaker comes up in discovery mode. The Bluetooth Pairing lamp blinks blue in a pulse-pulse-pause-pulse-pulse-pause sequence, to tell you this. E.g. See this in the next picture.
This signals you to look for this speaker on a nearby BT device.
The reset is now complete. Thus you may now safely sell or gift this speaker, or pair it again with your Bluetooth devices.
Remember that after you reset it, the XG300 no longer auto pairs with any device. Thus, to set this up again, you first manually link this speaker with a device. Then whenever both speaker and device are in range, pairing automatically takes place once more.
