If you’re having trouble Bluetooth pairing your Vizio soundbar read on for a few tips that might help. We’ll walk you through how to troubleshoot the issue and offer some solutions. Hopefully this will get you up and running in no time!
We usually use Bluetooth pairing to stream music from our phones or other devices to our soundbar but if it’s not working for some reason there are a few things you can try.
Although if you are following the right method sometimes Bluetooth just doesn’t work. So we have listed some solutions for you below:
1. Restart both devices
The very first thing you should try is restarting both your soundbar and smartphone. Sometimes a simple restart can fix the issue so it’s always worth a shot. You can restart your soundbar by unplugging it from the power outlet for 30 seconds and then plugging it back in. To restart your smartphone simply turn it off and then back on again.
2. Check your settings
Make sure your soundbar and device are connected to the same network and that both have Bluetooth enabled. If this is not the case you may need to manually pair them together. You can usually find instructions for doing so in your soundbar’s user manual or online documentation.
3. Already paired devices
If you’re still having trouble your soundbar may be already paired with another device. In this case you’ll need to unpair the other device before trying to connect again. To do this simply go into your soundbar’s Bluetooth settings and select “unpair.”
4. Bluetooth range
If you’re still having trouble connecting it could be due to the Bluetooth range. Soundbars typically have a range of around 30 feet so if you’re too far away from the soundbar it may not be able to connect. Try moving closer to see if that solves the problem.
5. Check the manual
If you’re still having trouble it’s always a good idea to check your soundbar’s user manual or online documentation for more specific troubleshooting tips. Oftentimes manufacturers will have information on common issues and how to fix them.
In the manual you will also find the soundbar’s model number. With this number you can search for specific troubleshooting tips online.
6. Try a different phone or device
If all else fails try pairing your soundbar with a different phone or another device. This can help you figure out whether the issue is caused by your current device or something else entirely. If you’re able to successfully pair your soundbar with another phone then it’s likely that your original device has an issue and needs to be fixed or replaced.
7. Move away from other devices
If you’re still having trouble connecting it could be due to interference from other devices. If you have other Bluetooth devices in the area try moving them away from your soundbar to see if that solves the problem.
Sometimes adjusting the distance or angle between your devices can also help improve the connection.
Another device might be causing interference with your soundbar so it’s a good idea to check for other wireless devices in the area and move them away from your soundbar if possible.
8. Unpair and then pair again
In some cases you may need to unpair your soundbar from any other devices and then pair it again. This can help clear out any old or mismatched pairing information and allow you to start fresh. To do this simply go into the Bluetooth settings of your device and select “unpair.”
Once this is done you can try connecting again and see if the issue has been resolved.
9. Resetting your soundbar
If you’re still having trouble connecting your soundbar to other devices there may be a more serious issue that requires a reset. In this case you’ll need to follow the instructions in your soundbar’s manual for resetting it completely.
Resetting your device can resolve many common issues and is often worth trying if you’ve tried all of the other solutions and are still getting errors.
You can reset it by the below steps
1. First turn off your soundbar.
2. Next unplug the power cord from the soundbar.
3. Then wait for 30 seconds and plug the power cord back in.
4. Finally turn on your soundbar and try connecting again.
10. check for firmware updates
If you’re still having trouble connecting your soundbar there may be a problem with the soundbar’s firmware. In this case you’ll need to check for updates and install any that are available. Firmware updates can often fix common issues and improve compatibility with other devices.
You can usually check for updates through your soundbar’s settings menu. Look for an option that says “firmware update” or something similar. If there are any updates available follow the instructions to install them.
After the updates have been installed try connecting again and see if the problem has been resolved.
The correct method of Bluetooth pairing
