A:Answer Site reloaded and lost my answer, so now you'll get the short version, my Sony Bluetooth speaker pairs, syncs and works perfectly, the only downside with mine is they have to be activated each use, luckily a shortcut can be created in on screen quick settings for bluetooth to go in and "connect" it. Over the XBR versus now XR TVs some things are better, but most are not... XBR connected when powered on all previously paired BT devices, but no quick settings menu... (added note, my bt keyboard lauches immediately with further action, unlike my BT speaker, however a home theater level BT speaker system may respond differently than headphones or portable speaker, what bothers me is that all my stuff is Sony and somethings still require an active connection on my part
