When this guide applies

Repeated main-bar Bluetooth interruptions, not WiFi casting or rear-link faults.

Connection scope: Bluetooth. Symptom: Audio keeps cutting out.

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.
