Pairing Reach
Sometimes, your smartphone reaches the maximum limit of devices that you can add to the pair list. Delete the unnecessary devices, and it will provide room to add a soundbar. Also, make sure your smartphone has not connected to any other device like headphones or AirPods.
Bluetooth Range
Each Bluetooth device supports a specific adapter and features a limited Bluetooth range. Vizio soundbars can be connected to other devices within a range of 30 feet. Also, make sure nothing is shielding the signals between your soundbar and connected devices. We recommend shifting the soundbar near the TV within a one-foot range. In this way, it will be able to transfer data firmly.
Reset the Device
If you are still facing a Bluetooth pairing issue, then reset the settings. It will default all the settings, and you will be able to pair the soundbar if there is any setting issue. After reset settings, try pairing it with the same device. If still, you are unable to connect, try to pair it with any other device.
Soundbar Availability
If you have Bluetooth devices near the soundbar, then turn off their Bluetooth. Many times the soundbar automatically connects with the available devices. However, you can turn off their Bluetooth and can connect the device that you want.
Forget the Device
Sometimes you see your device paired in the menu but unable to transfer data. Remove your device from the pairing list and pair it again. Turn off the Bluetooth and wait for a minute. Turn it on and find your device and then pair it.
Pairing Issue with PC
If you are pairing the Vizio soundbar with a PC, then make sure your desktop has Bluetooth drives installed. Bluetooth adapters need drives to program. Make sure your device has the latest drivers running. You can download it from Google.
Move Other Devices Away
Move other devices such as smartphones, routers, and other wireless devices away from the soundbar. Sometimes, they cause interference in pairing Bluetooth devices. If you have a small media room, you can use aluminum foil between these devices to break the signal intrusion. If you connect the Vizio soundbar to the internet through Wi-Fi, then turn off the router once.
