If the unit will not pair with a Bluetooth device, try the following:
- Ensure you have selected Bluetooth mode on the soundbar.
- Try disconnecting and reconnecting via Bluetooth.
- Unplug the unit from the wall, hold down the power button for 10-15 seconds, plug back in, and try again.
- Ensure the device you are trying to connect to can send sound. If you are trying to connect with another speaker this will not work as the soundbar can only receive the sound, and cannot send sound.
