Follow these checks in Audio Fix →When this guide applies
Exact FiiO BTR17. A new source needs pairing with BTR17. Existing Bluetooth audio may be interrupted; you can identify the intended new source.
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 scope. Follow the link that matches what you actually observe. Alternative branches are not a single sequence of actions.
scope
Confirm the model and connection
A new source needs pairing with BTR17. Existing Bluetooth audio may be interrupted; you can identify the intended new source.
Look for: Confirm this exact setup and observation before continuing.
- If Yes, I confirm → Accept interrupting the current Bluetooth source?
- If No / my setup differs → Continue with source and model support
- If I cannot confirm → More information is required

Accept interrupting the current Bluetooth source?
Entering pairing can interrupt current Bluetooth audio. Continue only if no call or recording is active and you accept that interruption. No paired-device list will be deliberately cleared.
Look for: Explicit informed acceptance is required before the next action.
- If I accept these effects → Confirm BT mode
- If No / leave this unchanged → Continue with source and model support
- If I cannot confirm → More information is required

Confirm BT mode
Confirm the mode switch is in the middle BT receiving position and the device is on, outside its menu.
Look for: Observe the named indication or available control; stop if absent.
