Connecting your Amplify Speaker to any device is easier than you might think. Whether you want to play music from your phone, tablet, laptop, or even your TV, this guide will show you how to do it.

First, gather all the necessary cables and accessories. Depending on the type of device you want to connect, you may need an AUX cable, RCA cable, HDMI cable, or Bluetooth adapter.

Once the speaker is connected to power, turn it on using the power button. You may need to hold down the button for a few seconds until the speaker powers on.

At this point, the initial setup of your Amplify speaker is complete. However, before you can start connecting it to your devices, you may need to pair it with your device using Bluetooth or connect it using a wired connection. Check the user manual or documentation provided with your Amplify speaker for further instructions on how to connect it to your specific device.

Step 2: Connecting via Bluetooth

In order to connect your Amplify speaker to any device via Bluetooth, you will need to follow these steps:

Turn on your Amplify speaker by pressing the power button.
Make sure that the Bluetooth function on your device is turned on.

Turn on your Amplify speaker and set it to the correct input source. This can usually be done by pressing the “Input” button on the speaker or using the speaker’s remote control.
Adjust the volume on both your device and the Amplify speaker to a comfortable level.

Once the audio cable is connected and the volume is adjusted, you should be able to play audio from your device through the Amplify speaker.

Using an audio cable eliminates the need for a wireless connection and can provide a more stable and reliable audio playback experience. However, keep in mind that you will need to have the audio cable plugged in at all times for the sound to be played through the Amplify speaker.

Turn on Bluetooth on your computer. This can usually be done through the settings or control panel.
On your Amplify Speaker, press and hold the Bluetooth button for a few seconds until the Bluetooth LED indicator starts flashing.
On your computer, search for available Bluetooth devices. The process of searching for devices may vary depending on the operating system you are using.
Once your Amplify Speaker appears in the list of available devices, click on it to start the pairing process.
You may be prompted to enter a passcode or PIN. Check the user manual of your Amplify Speaker for the default passcode, as it may vary depending on the model.
After entering the passcode or PIN, your computer will connect to the Amplify Speaker. Once connected, you should hear a confirmation sound from the speaker.

Now that your Amplify Speaker is successfully paired with your computer, you can enjoy high-quality audio and use it as your computer’s audio output device. Remember to keep the Bluetooth on your computer turned on for future use.
