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 scope. Follow the link that matches what you actually observe. Alternative branches are not a single sequence of actions.
scope
Confirm the exact setup
Both intended sources are already paired. The owner of the old source accepts turning its Bluetooth off, which also interrupts its other Bluetooth connections; every listener accepts stopping its playback.
Look for: Choose only a detail you can confirm.
- If Yes, confirmed → Turn Bluetooth off on the currently connected old source
- If No → Keep the actual observation for support
- If I do not know / cannot check → Confirm the unknown detail first
