iPadOS -Bluetooth Settings- screen, showing the Sony SRS XB33 speaker as Discovered but not Connected.
This post gives Sony XB 33 pairing instructions for typical smart devices. E.g. These include Apple and Android phones, media players, tablets, and computers.
With your XB 33 powered OFF (power button is dark), run through these directions to link it to your source BT mobile device. We’re using an iPad Air tablet computer for this demo here.
Firstly, press the Home button to reveal 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 Sony XB 33 is currently shut OFF (is not in Bluetooth pairing mode), it does not appear in the Bluetooth devices list. Also, we don’t see it since we’ve never linked this speaker with our mobile device before.
Additionally, turn on the XB 33 by quickly pressing and releasing its Power button. See this, pointed at by the yellow arrow, in the next picture.
The speaker then powers up, and its status lamp glows green, as we see in the next picture.
But since our iPad does not know about this speaker, the XB 33 will not pair with it automatically.
Now, to see your speaker on your device, place it into Bluetooth discovery / pairing mode. To do that, press and hold in the Pairing button, and release when the speaker announces “Bluetooth pairing,” in a female voice.
Find the Pairing button as we see in the next picture, pointed at by the arrow.
Also, the Bluetooth Status lamp begins double flashing in a pulse-pulse-pause-pulse-pulse-pause pattern.
See the screen shot next. We found our XB 33, as pointed at by the yellow arrow.
Tap the listed speaker in the discovered devices list.
Your mobile device then pairs with the XB 33.
E.g. The the mobile device’s Bluetooth Settings screen might then change to look something like the following. Note the now-paired XB 33 entry, as pointed at by the yellow arrows in the next screenshot.
At last, we have now successfully paired the XB 33 wireless speaker with a common mobile tablet device.
