Manufacturer-documented Reviewed 2026-11-09 · Revision 1
Follow these checks in Audio Fix →When this guide applies
Known BT POWER OFF state, not speculative app discovery diagnosis.
Connection scope: Device controls / power only. Symptom: The control app cannot find my device.
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
Was BT POWER OFF explicitly observed when wireless was disabled?
If current state is unknown, do not repeat the toggle to guess it.
Look for: Confirm the stated setup or observation. Unknown stops safely.
- If Yes / confirmed → Do you now want Bluetooth, app control and optional wireless-speaker functions permitted?
- If No / cannot confirm → Stop and retain the actual observations
- If I do not know / cannot check → A required fact is unknown

step-1
Do you now want Bluetooth, app control and optional wireless-speaker functions permitted?
These functions share this wireless control; this is not a network router repair.
Look for: Confirm the stated setup or observation. Unknown stops safely.
- If Yes / confirmed → Is listening idle, with no software installation active?
- If No / cannot confirm → Stop and retain the actual observations
- If I do not know / cannot check → A required fact is unknown

step-2
Is listening idle, with no software installation active?
The operation changes wireless availability and may interrupt a control session.
Look for: Confirm the stated setup or observation. Unknown stops safely.
- If Yes / confirmed → Hold Input and BLUETOOTH on the bar for about 5 seconds
- If No / cannot confirm → Stop and retain the actual observations
- If I do not know / cannot check → A required fact is unknown

step-3
Hold Input and BLUETOOTH on the bar for about 5 seconds
Use this exact model combination only once from the confirmed Off state.
Look for: Perform only the stated operation and confirm whether it was possible.
- If Yes / confirmed → Does the front display report BT POWER then ON?
- If No / cannot confirm → Stop and retain the actual observations
- If I do not know / cannot check → A required fact is unknown

step-4
Does the front display report BT POWER then ON?
An unexpected state stops rather than another blind toggle.
Look for: Confirm the stated setup or observation. Unknown stops safely.
- If Yes / confirmed → Open the already installed compatible BRAVIA Connect app
- If No / cannot confirm → Stop and retain the actual observations
- If I do not know / cannot check → A required fact is unknown

step-5
Open the already installed compatible BRAVIA Connect app
Do not reset the bar or remove saved Bluetooth devices.
Look for: Perform only the stated operation and confirm whether it was possible.
- If Yes / confirmed → Can the app now reach this exact soundbar?
- If No / cannot confirm → Stop and retain the actual observations
- If I do not know / cannot check → A required fact is unknown

step-6
Can the app now reach this exact soundbar?
Wireless On alone does not confirm phone permissions or app compatibility.
Look for: Confirm the stated setup or observation. Unknown stops safely.
- If Yes / confirmed → Checks completed — report what happened
- If No / cannot confirm → Stop and retain the actual observations
- If I do not know / cannot check → A required fact is unknown
