This post gives Sony XB32 pairing instructions, via Bluetooth, to common smart devices. E.g. These include the Apple and Android phones, media players, and tablets.
Sony XB32 Pairing Instructions, Step by Step
With your SRS XB32 powered OFF (power button is dark), run through these directions to pair it to your source BT mobile device. We’re using an iPad Air tablet for this demo.
1. Go to the Home Screen on your Source Device
Firstly, press the Home button to reveal the smart device’s Home screen.
2. Find the Settings App
Secondly, we find ours on the second page of the Home screen, as shown next.
3. Bring up the Settings App
Thirdly, touch the Settings app icon.
The smart device then shows the first page of its settings, as shown in the next step.
4. Go to the Bluetooth Settings Page to Continue with Sony XB32 Pairing Instructions
Our Bluetooth Settings screen displays as follows. Note that our Bluetooth is enabled here. But since our XB32 is currently OFF (is not in Bluetooth discovery mode), it does not appear in the BT devices list. Also, we don’t see it since we’ve never paired this speaker with this tablet before.
5. Power Up the Sony XB32
Turn on the speaker by quickly pressing its Power-Pairing button. See this, pointed at by the green arrow, in the next picture.
The unit then boots, and its status lamp glows white, as we see in the next picture.
But since our tablet does not know about this speaker, the SRS XB32 will not pair with it automatically.
6. Put the XB32 into Discovery Mode
Now, to see your speaker on your device, place it into Bluetooth discovery / pairing mode. So to do that, press and hold the Power-Pairing button, and release when you hear the speaker announce, “Bluetooth pairing,” in a lady’s voice. Find the Power-Pairing button as pictured above.
In addition to the announcement, the Bluetooth Status lamp starts flashing fast blue.
7. Find the Speaker on your Mobile Device to Continue with Sony XB32 Pairing Instructions
See the screen shot next. We found our XB32, as pointed at by the green arrow.
8. Now Pair with the SRS XB32
Tap the listed speaker in the discovered devices list.
Your mobile device then syncs with this wireless speaker.
E.g. The the mobile device’s Bluetooth Settings screen might then change to look something like the following. Note the now-connected SRS XB32 entry, as pointed at by the green arrows in the next screenshot.
9. Done with Sony XB32 Pairing Instructions !
At last, we have now successfully paired the XB 32 BT speaker with with a common mobile tablet device.
