Connecting with a paired computer (Windows 8)

Before operating the speaker, be sure to do the following:

  • Depending on your computer, it may be necessary to turn on the built-in BLUETOOTH adaptor. For details on how to turn on a built-in BLUETOOTH adaptor, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the computer.
  • If the speaker was previously paired with a different device, turn off the BLUETOOTH function for the other device.
  1. Turn on the speaker.

    The (BLUETOOTH) indicator begins to flash in white.

    When you turn on the speaker, the speaker tries to make a BLUETOOTH connection with the last connected BLUETOOTH device. If the device is nearby and its BLUETOOTH function is on, the BLUETOOTH connection is established automatically and the (BLUETOOTH) indicator stays lit. When you want to connect another BLUETOOTH device, terminate the current BLUETOOTH connection by operating the currently connected BLUETOOTH device.

  2. Search for the speaker on the computer.
    1. Select [Desktop] from the Start menu.

    2. Align your mouse with the right side of the screen (if using a touch panel, swipe from the right edge of the screen), and select [Settings] from the charms that are displayed.

    3. When the [Settings] charms are displayed, click [Control Panel].

    4. When [All Control Panel Items] is displayed, select [Sound].

      If the [Control Panel] screen appears instead of [All Control Panel Items], select [Large icons] or [Small icons] from the [View by] menu in the top right corner of the screen.

    5. Confirm [SRS-XB10 Stereo] on the [Sound] screen.
      • If there is a checkmark (green) on [SRS-XB10 Stereo], proceed to step .

      • If there is not a checkmark (green) on [SRS-XB10 Stereo], proceed to the next step (substep 6).
      • If [SRS-XB10 Stereo] does not appear, right-click on the [Sound] screen, and select [Show Disabled Devices] from the menu that appears. Then proceed to the next step (substep 6).

    6. Right-click on [SRS-XB10 Stereo], and select [Connect] from the menu that appears.

      When the speaker is connected, a checkmark will appear on [SRS-XB10 Stereo] on the [Sound] screen. Proceed to step .

      If you cannot click [Connect] for [SRS-XB10 Stereo], select [Disable] for the [Default Device] that currently has a checkmark (green).

  3. Check that the (BLUETOOTH) indicator has switched from flashing to a steady light.

    When the speaker is connected to the computer, the (BLUETOOTH) indicator stays lit. You can enjoy playing back music from your computer.
