To connect your Sony BRAVIA Theatre U to your Sony BRAVIA 3 TV via Bluetooth:

1. Ensure the BRAVIA Theatre U has enough battery. You can:
- Check battery using the Headphones Connect app, or
- Plug in with the AC adapter and wait for the orange light to turn on and then off.

2. Put your TV into Bluetooth pairing mode using the TV settings.

3. On the BRAVIA Theatre U, enter pairing mode.

4. On the TV, wait for "BRAVIA Theatre U" (not "LE_BRAVIA Theatre U") to appear in the Bluetooth device list. This may take 30 seconds to 1 minute.

5. Select "BRAVIA Theatre U" to pair.

6. If prompted for a passkey, enter "0000".

If "BRAVIA Theatre U" doesn't appear, repeat the process. The speaker exits pairing mode after about 5 minutes if no connection is made.
