When this guide applies

A new nearby media sender is intended; any earlier sender is already disconnected and current listening can stop.

Connection scope: Bluetooth. Symptom: My devices won’t pair or reconnect.

This is a documented check, not a diagnosis of your equipment. The model name does not confirm the selected input, mode, software or connected partner.

If your exact model or a required setting is unknown, use the “I don’t know” branch below. Do not apply a similarly named model’s instructions.

Checks and possible outcomes

Start at step-0. Follow the link that matches what you actually observe. Alternative branches are not a single sequence of actions.

step-0

Is the new sender intended for media playback, with any earlier paired sender already disconnected?

The system can try its last pairing when Bluetooth is selected; do not interrupt a required connection without consent.

Look for: Confirm the actual prerequisite or observation. Stop safely if unknown.

step-1

Is this actual remote Bluetooth control identified, with the intended nearby sender ready to select this system?

Do not substitute a power/reset gesture or another nearby DRAGON.

Look for: Confirm the actual prerequisite or observation. Stop safely if unknown.

step-2

May current listening stop for registration at low source and system levels?

The active input changes; this is not a factory reset or clearing of all configuration.

Look for: Confirm the actual prerequisite or observation. Stop safely if unknown.

step-3

Press the remote Bluetooth key once to select Bluetooth

Do not use wireless partner controls.

Look for: Perform only the stated operation, then confirm it was possible.

step-4

Hold that remote Bluetooth key until the actual display reads PAIRING

Release when its documented indication appears; stop if the display differs.

Look for: Perform only the stated operation, then confirm it was possible.

step-5

Choose this intended DRAGON in the sender Bluetooth device list

Use the actual known system identity and the sender own pairing control.

Look for: Perform only the stated operation, then confirm it was possible.

step-6

Does BT stop flashing and remain steady with the intended sender connected?

Discovery alone is not a media playback result, and this sound system has no hands-free microphone function.

Look for: Confirm the actual prerequisite or observation. Stop safely if unknown.

Completion does not automatically mean the problem is solved. Report what actually happened; no physical test or measured repair is claimed.

steps completed

Reaching this result does not mean the issue is solved. Only your own feedback can report improvement.

    Possible result

    Stop at the unconfirmed condition

    A required setup or response was not confirmed. Retain the actual observation and consult the exact source/partner manual or official support. Do not escalate to a reset, update installation, internal repair or unsafe wiring change.

    next support

    Reaching this result does not mean the issue is solved. Only your own feedback can report improvement.

      Possible result

      A required fact is unknown

      Confirm the actual model, connection, partner capability and state before continuing. Do not guess a menu, interrupt an installation or modify a live source by trial and error.

      insufficient data
