Enjoying stereo playback with 2 speakers (Stereo Pair function)

You can connect 2 LSPX-S3 speakers via a BLUETOOTH connection and enjoy music playback and linked illumination. By establishing BLUETOOTH connections with 2 speakers, you can enjoy stereophonic sound that gives you an immersed feeling.

One speaker connected via a BLUETOOTH connection plays the sound on the left channel (left side) and the other speaker connected via another BLUETOOTH connection plays the sound on the right channel (right side) to provide stereo playback.

For Apple iOS devices, the unit is compatible with iOS 10.0 or later. A BLUETOOTH connection is not available on the devices with iOS 9.x or earlier.

Note

  • Before establishing a connection between the speaker and a BLUETOOTH device, turn down the volume of the speaker and the device or stop music playback on the device to avoid any sudden loud sound output from the speaker.

  1. Place 2 speakers within 1 m (3.2 ft) of each other, and then turn on both speakers.

    The(power) indicator lights up.

    The(BLUETOOTH) indicator on the bottom of the speaker flashes slowly.

    If the BLUETOOTH device which has been connected before is nearby, the speaker may be connected to the device automatically, and then the(BLUETOOTH) indicator may be lit. In this case, turn off the BLUETOOTH function on the BLUETOOTH device or turn off the BLUETOOTH device.

    When the speaker has no pairing information, for example when you use the BLUETOOTH function for the first time after purchase, the(BLUETOOTH) indicator keeps double flashing in blue.

  2. On either one of the speakers, press and hold the(BLUETOOTH)/ST PAIR (Stereo Pair) button on the bottom of the speaker for about 3 seconds.

    You hear a notification sound* and the(BLUETOOTH) indicator and the ST PAIR (Stereo Pair) indicator flash. In about 5 seconds, the ST PAIR (Stereo Pair) indicator will stop flashing and stay lit.

  3. On the other speaker, press and hold the(BLUETOOTH)/ST PAIR (Stereo Pair) button for about 3 seconds.

    The(BLUETOOTH) indicator and the ST PAIR (Stereo Pair) indicator flash.

  4. Check the state of the indicator on each of the 2 speakers.

    When the speakers are connected for the Stereo Pair function, you hear a notification sound* from the speaker and the ST PAIR (Stereo Pair) indicators on both speakers stay lit, then the(BLUETOOTH) indicator on the second speaker goes out.

    Hint

    • When the 2 speakers are immediately connected for the Stereo Pair function, the(BLUETOOTH) indicator and the ST PAIR (Stereo Pair) indicator may not flash and the ST PAIR (Stereo Pair) indicator may light instead.

    • Set up the second speaker within 1 minute. If you do not set it up within 1 minute, the setting of the first speaker will be canceled.

  5. Operate the speaker in which the(BLUETOOTH) indicator is flashing to make a BLUETOOTH connection with a BLUETOOTH device.

    When the BLUETOOTH connection is established, you hear a notification sound* from the speaker and the activity of the(BLUETOOTH) indicator changes from flashing to lit.

  6. Start playback on the BLUETOOTH device, and adjust the volume to moderate level.
  7. Press the -/+ (volume) buttons on one of the speakers to adjust the volume.

    Volume adjustment of one speaker is reflected in the other.

    For stereo playback, the speaker with the flashing(BLUETOOTH) indicator is set to the left channel (left side).

To swap the left (left side) and right (right side) audio channels

You can use “Sony | Music Center” to swap the left (left side) and right (right side) audio channels.

Before the left (left side) and right (right side) audio channels are swapped, you hear voice guidance, “Left/Right.”

Hint

  • When making or receiving a call, only operate the speaker in which the(BLUETOOTH) indicator lights up.

  • If any other BLUETOOTH device(s), such as a BLUETOOTH mouse or BLUETOOTH keyboard, is connected to the BLUETOOTH device that is connected to the speaker, there may be distorted sound or noise in the speaker output. In this case, terminate the BLUETOOTH connection between the BLUETOOTH device and other BLUETOOTH device(s).

  • When using the Stereo Pair function, the codec automatically switches to SBC.

  • Turning off the speaker does not terminate the Stereo Pair function. When the speaker is turned back on, it attempts to establish a connection for the Stereo Pair function. To use the Stereo Pair function, turn on the other speaker within 1 minute.

    While the BLUETOOTH standby function is activated both on the 2 speakers, however, turning on either speaker also turns on the other automatically and establishes a connection for the Stereo Pair function between the 2 speakers.

Note

  • After you restart either of the speakers while the Stereo Pair function is activated, be sure to press the(BLUETOOTH)/ST PAIR (Stereo Pair) button on the other speaker to terminate the Stereo Pair function. If you continue to use the speaker without terminating the Stereo Pair function, you will have a problem, such as a failure to establish a BLUETOOTH connection or a sound interruption.
