Sony SRS XB22 speaker, front left view.
We give here our Sony XB 22 factory reset instructions to return this portable Extra Bass Bluetooth speaker to its default factory settings. Factory resetting restores the XB 22 to fresh-out-of-the-box state. Plus, it erases any earlier paired Bluetooth devices from its memory. Deleting these stops this speaker from pairing to any close Bluetooth devices. Moreover, you might factory reset to get it ready for sale or re-gifting, or to stop it from joining with devices you no longer want it to sync with.
Press and release the Power button for a half-second or so. Find the Power button as shown in the next picture.
Then, the status light comes on, as shown next.
The speaker may make a ding-dong tone sound when it powers up, should it connect to a nearby device. Or it may stay silent if it does not. But whether the unit syncs or not though, this factory 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 XB 22 then enters the factory reset process.
Then after a small pause, the speaker powers OFF, and the status lamp goes dark, as shown next. Note that on the XB 22, there is no leaving-the-air sound.
Next, turn on the unit again, as detailed in step 1 above.
Note that after reset, the XB 22 comes up in discovery mode. The Pairing Mode lamp rapidly blinks blue to let you know this.
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 the 22, or pair it again with your favorite Bluetooth devices.
After a factory reset, the XB 22 no longer automatically joins with any previously paired Bluetooth device. Thus, to resume auto pairing, 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 each other, pairing automatically take place once again.
