An iPhone with a Sony SRS XB23 speaker.
Here we give Sony XB 23 reset instructions, to return this wireless cylinder speaker to its default settings. Resetting restores the XB 23 to default state. Plus, it erases any earlier paired Bluetooth devices from the speaker’s memory. Clearing memory like this stops this speaker from pairing to any nearby BT devices afterwards, until you enter new connections manually. Or, you might reset to get the unit ready for sale or re-gifting, or to stop the XB 23 from pairing with devices you no longer wish 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.
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 to announce that it has paired, should it connect to a nearby device. Or it may stay quiet if it does not. Whether the XB 23 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 XB 23 then enters reset mode.
Then after a several-seconds pause, the speaker powers OFF, and the Power lamp goes dark, as shown next. Note that on the XB 23, there is no power-down sound.
Next, power on the unit again, as we explain in step 1 above.
Note that after reset, the XB 23 comes up in BT pairing mode. The Pairing Mode lamp double flashes blue to let you know this.
This pairing light signal tells you that you may then look for this speaker on a nearby BT device, and pair to it if you so desire.
The resetting is now over. So you may now sell or gift this wireless speaker, or pair it again with your favorite BT streaming devices.
After reset, the XB 23 no longer automatically links with any Bluetooth device. Therefore, if you’re keeping the speaker and wish to restore auto pairing, you manually link the speaker with a device. Then after that, any time that both XB 23 and that device have Bluetooth turned on, and they’re near to each other, pairing between them would automatically take place once again.
