Troubleshooting

Issue: Pairing and connecting to Bluetooth device fails.

1. Ensure your wireless device supports the listed Bluetooth profiles.
2. Keep SF-BT013 and your device close (within 1 meter / 3 feet).
3. Ensure both SF-BT013 and your device are in pairing mode.
4. If pairing fails after rebooting, confirm correct input power is used. The machine supports 5V DC power supply. Avoid fast charging or low-quality power inputs, which may cause undervoltage or overcurrent protection.

Issue: No audio after connecting and pairing.

1. Output defaults to AUX priority. If optical output is needed, ensure no external AUX cable is connected to the AUX output port.
2. In Optical mode, SF-BT013 supports devices with a sampling rate under 48kHz.
3. Ensure your TV audio format is set to PCM (See Fig-1) and TV sound output is set to "External Speakers" (See Fig-2).
