Follow these checks in Audio Fix →

When this guide applies

Known enabled standby setting; no setting-toggle gesture.

Connection scope: Bluetooth. Symptom: Power-on or automatic standby 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.

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 the bar confirmed off with no update underway?

Do not use this wake check on an already-on or updating product.

Look for: Confirm the stated prerequisite or observation; unknown is not a fault diagnosis.

step-1

Was network standby previously confirmed enabled?

Default-enabled documentation is not proof of the present setting. Unknown/disabled state needs separate configuration guidance.

Look for: Confirm the stated prerequisite or observation; unknown is not a fault diagnosis.

step-2

Connect an existing paired Bluetooth source

Use its saved bar entry; no memory clearing or GAME-button hold.

Look for: Perform only the stated check, then confirm whether it could be completed.

step-3

Does the bar wake and select Bluetooth?

Observe its actual response. A missed wake does not establish a hardware fault or prove the setting changed.

Possible result

Checks completed — report your outcome

Completion does not automatically mean solved. Report what actually happened: solved, partly helped, did not help or could not follow. No Audio Review physical test is claimed.

steps completed

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

    Possible result

    Keep the observation for manufacturer support

    These steps did not establish a working setup. Keep the exact model, source, software and last observed response for support. No hardware or firmware defect is diagnosed.

    next support

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

      Possible result

      A required observation is unknown

      Confirm the exact model and linked instructions before continuing. Do not guess the state of a control, connection or update.

      insufficient data

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