Why Is My Sony Speaker Not Pairing?
If your Sony speaker is not pairing with your device, there could be several reasons for this issue. Here are some common troubleshooting steps to help you identify and potentially resolve the problem:
- Check Speaker’s Battery: Ensure that your Sony speaker has sufficient battery power. If it’s low or empty, it might not be able to establish a connection. Charge the speaker if needed.
- Enable Bluetooth: Make sure that Bluetooth is turned on both on your speaker and the device you’re trying to pair it with. Check the settings on both devices to verify Bluetooth is active.
- Pairing Mode: Confirm that your speaker is in pairing mode. Many speakers require you to hold down a specific button or combination of buttons for a few seconds to enter pairing mode. Check the speaker’s manual for instructions on how to do this.
- Clear Previous Pairings: If your speaker has been paired with other devices in the past, clear those previous pairings. This can often be done by holding down the Bluetooth button or a specific combination of buttons for a longer duration.
- Device Compatibility: Ensure that your device is compatible with your Sony speaker. Check the speaker’s manual for a list of compatible devices and ensure that your device is on that list.
- Distance and Interference: Bluetooth has a limited range. Ensure that your device is within the recommended range for pairing. Additionally, remove any potential sources of interference, such as other Bluetooth devices or Wi-Fi routers.
- Update Firmware: Check if there is a firmware update available for your speaker. Updating the firmware can sometimes resolve pairing issues and improve compatibility.
- Forget and Re-Pair: On your device, forget the speaker from the list of paired devices (Bluetooth settings) and then attempt to pair it again from scratch.
- Restart Devices: Sometimes, a simple restart of both your speaker and the device you’re trying to pair can resolve connectivity issues.
- Check for Speaker Issues: Test your Sony speaker with other devices to see if it can pair with them. If it can’t pair with any device, there might be an issue with the speaker itself, and you should contact Sony support or consider repair/replacement options.
- Contact Sony Support: If none of the above steps work, and your speaker still won’t pair, it might be a hardware or software issue specific to the speaker. In this case, it’s best to contact Sony’s customer support for further assistance.
Alternative Connection Methods
Let’s cover alternative connection methods to connect a Sony speaker to an iPhone:
- 1. NFC (Near Field Communication): Some Sony speakers come equipped with NFC technology. To use this method, ensure both your iPhone and the Sony speaker support NFC.
- Enable NFC on your iPhone. Go to Settings > NFC and toggle it on.
- Activate NFC on the Sony Speaker. Check your speaker’s manual to locate the NFC activation method; it may involve pressing a specific button.
- Once NFC is enabled on both devices, simply touch your iPhone to the NFC-enabled area on the Sony speaker to establish a connection.
- 2. Wired Connection (3.5mm Aux Cable): If your Sony speaker has a 3.5mm audio input, you can use an auxiliary cable to directly connect your iPhone to the speaker. This method doesn’t require any wireless connectivity and can be useful when Bluetooth or NFC are unavailable or when you want to conserve battery life.
- Connect one end of the 3.5mm aux cable to the headphone jack of your iPhone.
- Plug the other end of the aux cable into the 3.5mm audio input on the Sony speaker.
- Ensure both devices are powered on and the speaker is set to the correct audio input source.
- 3. WiFi (Wireless Multi-Room Audio): Certain Sony speakers support WiFi connectivity, enabling you to create a multi-room audio setup with your iPhone. This method allows you to play synchronized music across multiple speakers in different rooms.
- Download and install the compatible app for your Sony speaker model on your iPhone.
- Follow the app’s instructions to set up and connect your speaker to your WiFi network.
- Once connected, you can control the playback and volume of your Sony speaker(s) using the app on your iPhone.

Next, you will need to make sure that Bluetooth is turned on in the settings of your device. The Bluetooth light on the speaker will flash quickly in white as soon as it is close enough to the pairing device.

The speaker can be reset while it is powered by the battery built into it by pressing the RESET button and holding it until the indicator (power) turns off. It is possible that the volume, function, and EXTRA BASS settings may be different after resetting your device.
6. How do you reset a wireless speaker?

8. Can anyone connect to Bluetooth?
Bluetooth is an insecure technology that makes it impossible to tell whether another person has connected to your device without being there to see it for yourself. Bluetooth can be used by anyone nearby if your device is left on.
9. How come my phone can’t find Bluetooth devices?
If you aren’t able to connect your Bluetooth devices, it’s probably due to them not being in pairing mode or being out of range. The best thing you can do if you have persistent problems with the Bluetooth connection is to reset your devices or have your phone or tablet “forget” the Bluetooth connection altogether.
10. Where can I find information about connecting my Bluetooth speaker to a computer?
If you want to block Bluetooth hacking, you need to access your device’s Bluetooth settings and turn it off after you’ve used it. In the absence of Bluetooth, you will not be able to connect with anyone. To prevent others from seeing your Bluetooth name, set your device’s visibility to “Off.”. Whenever you pair a Bluetooth device with another one, you are required to use a security code.
11. How can I prevent my smart TV from being used by others?
Remove any pre-authenticated or registered devices from Samsung TV settings. Provide for all registered devices from Settings>General>External Device Manager>Device Connection Manager> Device List.

12. How do I turn off Bluetooth visibility on my iPhone?
Click on the ‘AirDrop’ tab in the bottom center of the screen and swipe up from the bottom of the screen to access the control center. Depending on your preferences, you can choose to show it only to certain contacts, or to everyone.
