Confirm both pairings, then reconnect the sources one at a time.

When this guide applies

EAH-AZ80 with two paired Bluetooth sources. This guide checks connection order, not simultaneous audio mixing, every app’s handover behavior or third-party dongle compatibility. Three-source settings and codec consequences are outside its scope.

Connection scope: Bluetooth. Symptom: Switching between devices isn’t working.

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.

What owners have reported

These are public, self-reported experiences. They help explain the order of checks and the limits of a guide. They are not controlled tests, proof of a cause, a success rate or a substitute for the manufacturer instructions above.

User-reported EAH-AZ80 multipoint with three devices was not as expected

User-reported: an owner described a third connection dropping and later reported improvement after reviewing the app’s multipoint setting, with further notification-related behavior.

How this informs the checks: Keep this procedure explicitly limited to two existing pairings and connection order. Three-source settings and their consequences require the separate official instructions.

Limits: The setup included a third-party dongle and three sources. It does not establish general app compatibility, a codec state or a universal switching fix.

Checks and possible outcomes

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

two

Are you checking exactly two sources?

Three-source configuration has additional settings; do not assume this two-source check covers it.

Look for: Choose only what you can confirm.

Have both sources already been paired?

The source pairing records must exist before reconnection.

Connect the first source

Select the AZ80 in the first source’s Bluetooth menu.

Do both sources show connected?

Connections alone do not prove successful playback switching in a particular app.

Possible result

A required detail is unknown

Do not guess the model, connection state or indicator. Check the linked document for the exact product and source. If its control differs, use manufacturer support with the relevant app, firmware and OS details.

insufficient data

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

    Possible result

    Continue with the manufacturer or source support

    These checks did not establish a working setup. No particular cause or failed component has been diagnosed. Do not repeat destructive resets or buy replacement hardware on the basis of this result.

    next support

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

      Possible result

      Two connections confirmed — playback still needs checking

      You confirmed two active source connections. This procedure has not tested audio handover in your apps or established that the original switching problem is solved. Report any improvement separately; use the linked model documentation or manufacturer support for persistent app-specific switching.
