    Sorry I haven't the model number to hand, but a friend's TV refuses to find any devices, phones or Bluetooth speakers in search mode, any suggestions? Thanks

    First thing I would try is update the firmware on the TV, that may make some or all devices work. You can download new firmware from Sony once you have the model number...

    Some sony tvs will only connect to other sony products ...and will not connect with apple products etc...most smart tvs will automatically download newly available software.

    Thanks lads,tried to post earlier but site was down, odd the TV wouldn't connect to Sony Bluetooth speaker?
    Raised a Bluetooth query early, re adding a second Bluetooth speaker, but only one speaker connects at a time to music source. Does this mean stereo over Bluetooth difficult, unless you spend big bucks?
    In other words, Bluetooth will only handshake one device at a time so even two Bluetooth mono speakers won't connect? I have read Bluetooth was not designed originally for audio.
