iPadOS -Bluetooth Settings- page, showing the Sony SRS XB23 speaker as Connected.
This post gives Sony XB 23 pairing instructions, to link this speaker with common portable devices. E.g. These include the Android and Apple platforms of phones, media players, tablets, and computers.
With your XB 23 powered OFF (power button is dark), run through these directions to pair it to your source BT smart device. We’re using an iPad Air tablet for this demo.
Firstly, press the Home button to bring up the smart device’s Home screen.
We found ours on the second page of the Home screen, as shown next.
Thirdly, touch the Settings app icon.
The smart device then shows the first page of its settings, as shown in the next step.
Our Bluetooth Settings screen displays as follows. Note that our Bluetooth is enabled here. But since our XB 23 is currently shut OFF (is not in Bluetooth discovery mode), it is not listed in the Bluetooth devices list. Also, we don’t see it since we’ve never paired this speaker with this iPad before.
Turn on the XB 23 by quickly pressing its Power button. See this, pointed at by the arrow, in the next picture.
The speaker then powers up, and its status lamp glows green, as seen in the next picture.
But since the test iPad does not know about this speaker, the XB 23 will not pair with it automatically.
Now, to see your Sony XB 23 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 yellow arrow.
Then the speaker announces, “Bluetooth pairing,” in a woman’s voice.
Also, the Bluetooth Status lamp starts flashing in a pulse-pulse-pause, pulse-pulse-pause pattern.
See the screen shot next. We found our XB 23, as pointed at by the yellow arrow.
Tap the listed speaker in the discovered devices list.
Your mobile device then pairs with the XB 23.
E.g. The the mobile device’s Bluetooth Settings screen might then change to look something like the following. Note the now-connected XB 23 entry, as pointed at by the yellow arrows in the next screenshot.
At last, we have now successfully paired the XB 23 BT speaker with with a common mobile tablet device.
