Troubleshooting

Speaker won't turn on

Ensure the speaker is charged. Connect it to a power source using the USB-C cable and allow it to charge for at least 30 minutes before attempting to power it on again.

Cannot pair Bluetooth device

Make sure the speaker is in pairing mode (Bluetooth light flashing). Turn off Bluetooth on other nearby devices to avoid interference. Reset the speaker's Bluetooth connection by holding the Bluetooth button for 10 seconds, then try pairing again.

No sound or low volume

Check the volume level on both the speaker and the connected audio device. Ensure the correct audio source is selected and that the speaker is not muted. Try playing audio from a different app or device.

Sound is distorted or choppy

Move the speaker closer to the Bluetooth source device to improve signal strength. Ensure there are no obstructions or sources of wireless interference (like microwaves) between the devices. Close other Bluetooth applications on your device.

RGB lights not working

Check the light settings in the Philips Entertainment app. Ensure the speaker is powered on and try restarting the speaker and the app.

USB-C playback not functioning

Ensure the connected USB device is formatted correctly (e.g., FAT32) and contains compatible audio files. Try a different USB device or cable.
