How do you enable bluetooth on the W500? Is there a button I'm supposed to be pressing somewhere on the unit?

Don't have first hand knowledge about Windows 7 BT, just using Android and that works great. You may wish to look at this:http://www.sevenforums.com/drivers/50787-no-bluetooth-devices-found.html. In the mean time, directly hook them up with 3.5mm connection.

Press and hold the center button hold it until you hear it say Bluetooth connected. I don't have mine at hand but I remember holding something down till it conected. Also check to make sure it's charged and your devices Bluetooth is turned on

Go to the settings icon. See if Bluetooth is listed. If so, it should work.

Follow Jon's answer . Turn your Bluetooth on and off and same with your headset. It worked for me. Marc

Hi Elaine... Yup I have the same process going on- probably the only downer - I have to grab another device and go thru Bluetooth settings to rediscover and hit the button on the unit - a bit frustrating. I'm still super happy with it for the price ! Hope that helps ..,. Ciao'

I see nothing about bluetooth support. It has audio out phono jacks (red and white), an earphone jack, and a USB port. I does take songs in from Windows Media, but I'm presuming that's part of the WiFi (802.11n) capability. I don't even know if (but doubt that) hooking a bluetooth transmitter to the the USB port work outbound since USB in doesn't necessary mean USB out. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Make sure you have the latest Bluetooth drivers installed on your computer and that Bluetooth is enabled on laptop

Check to make sure your Bluetooth is turned on. I is much like the Wi-Fi on a laptop. Also you may need to update your computer's drivers.

Go to the charms on the right side. Settings > Change PC settings > PC and devices > Bluetooth. Turn on your Bluetooth if it is not on.

You hold the black button to start the Bluetooth and the left and right mouse buttons. When it flashes blue it should be visible.

I have been unable to get it working on an HP Z420 workstation with Windows 8 (not 8.1). Windows installs a driver automatically but the device stops before the Bluetooth stack looks like it ever gets loaded. Perhaps a driver would fix it, but I have yet to find one that works.

I have never used the Bluetooth, but the option is under Menu -> Organizer -> #1 Bluetooth.

There's the standard Gateway 500 (#GW51MO2) that does not have Bluetooth.Then there's THIS model you referenced.. th Gateway 500S BT (#GW52MO2) which has the built-in Bluetooth.

It doesn't use bluetooth. It's Sony's proprietary stuff similar to wifi. You must use Sony software.

Bluetooth should sync to it in setting. I can not get my speaker to talk to others working.

No. I don't think anything in this class has bluetooth. I could be wrong. I wasn't looking for it. I believe you can add it relatively inexpensively with external hardware.
