Manufacturer-documented Reviewed 2026-11-09 · Revision 1
Follow these checks in Audio Fix →When this guide applies
Receiver is Bluetooth audio destination, not headphone transmitter.
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 step-0. Follow the link that matches what you actually observe. Alternative branches are not a single sequence of actions.
step-0
Is listening idle with no other live Bluetooth source?
The previous device may reconnect automatically; disconnect it intentionally before pairing another.
Look for: Confirm the actual prerequisite or observation. Unknown stops safely.
- If Yes / check completed → Are source and receiver media levels initially low?
- If No / cannot confirm → Keep these observations for official support
- If I do not know / cannot check → A required fact is unknown

step-1
Are source and receiver media levels initially low?
Volume coupling may make source changes unexpectedly loud. Stop playback immediately if a sudden jump occurs.
Look for: Confirm the actual prerequisite or observation. Unknown stops safely.
- If Yes / check completed → Select Bluetooth input on the receiver
- If No / cannot confirm → Keep these observations for official support
- If I do not know / cannot check → A required fact is unknown

step-2
Select Bluetooth input on the receiver
Do not enter a Bluetooth-transmitter menu for headphones.
Look for: Perform only the stated operation, then confirm whether it could be completed.
- If Yes / check completed → Select this receiver network name on the source
- If No / cannot confirm → Keep these observations for official support
- If I do not know / cannot check → A required fact is unknown

Use0000 only if a passkey is requested.
Look for: Perform only the stated operation, then confirm whether it could be completed.
- If Yes / check completed → Does the source show the intended receiver connected?
- If No / cannot confirm → Keep these observations for official support

step-4
Does the source show the intended receiver connected?
Begin ordinary playback separately and raise level gently; do not treat pairing as proof of safe playback level.
Look for: Confirm the actual prerequisite or observation. Unknown stops safely.
