Listening to music wirelessly with two speakers (Speaker Add function)

By connecting two SRS-XB20 speakers via BLUETOOTH, you can select audio reproduction between stereo mode (stereo sound) and double mode (monaural sound). To use this function, two SRS-XB20 speakers are required.

Select from the following two playback methods.

Double mode

Both speakers play the same sound. Double mode is the initial setting.

Stereo mode

One speaker plays the sound on the right channel (right side), while the other speaker plays the sound on the left channel (left side) for stereo playback between the speakers.

Note

  • Turn off both speakers before setting up the Speaker Add function.
  1. Set up the first speaker.
    1. Press the (power) PAIRING button on one of the speakers to turn it on.

      The (BLUETOOTH) indicator begins to flash in white.

    2. Press and hold the ADD button for about 3 seconds until a beep is heard.

      The (BLUETOOTH) and L/R indicators flash in white. After about 3 seconds a beep will be heard and the L/R indicators light up.

      The (BLUETOOTH) indicator keeps flashing.

  2. Set up the second speaker.
    1. Press the (power) PAIRING button on the second speaker to turn it on.

      The (BLUETOOTH) indicator of the speaker begins to flash in white.

    2. Press and hold the ADD button for about 3 seconds until a beep is heard.

      The (BLUETOOTH) and L/R indicators flash in white. The L/R indicators then light up while the (BLUETOOTH) indicator turns off.

      Hint

      • If the 2 speakers quickly make a BLUETOOTH connection, the L/R indicators may light up without the (BLUETOOTH) indicator and the L/R indicators flashing.
      • 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.
  3. Operate the speaker where the (BLUETOOTH) indicator is flashing to make a BLUETOOTH connection with a BLUETOOTH device.

    When the (BLUETOOTH) indicator of the speaker stops flashing and lights up, the BLUETOOTH connection is established.

  4. Start playback on the BLUETOOTH device, and adjust the volume to moderate level.
  5. Press the –/+ (volume) buttons on one of the speakers to adjust the volume.

    Volume adjustment of one speaker is reflected on the other.

Hint

  • When making or receiving a call, only operate the speaker where 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 connecting with 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 Speaker Add function, switch the codec to SBC.

Note

  • If you reset or initialize one of the two speakers while using the Speaker Add function, make sure to turn off the other speaker. If you do not turn off the other speaker before restarting the Speaker Add function, there may be problems in making a BLUETOOTH connection and outputting sound.
  • When you make a BLUETOOTH connection by One-touch (NFC), touch the speaker where the (BLUETOOTH) indicator flashes. The device cannot make a BLUETOOTH connection with the speaker where the (BLUETOOTH) indicator turns off.
  • If a portable audio device, etc. is connected to the speaker’s AUDIO IN jack, the speaker automatically switches to AUDIO IN mode, and the Speaker Add function is terminated.
