To factory reset the SN30 Pro+, power it off, then hold START + SELECT + L + R until the player LEDs blink quickly and switch off; this clears the Bluetooth memory. Power back on with the right combo for your platform and pair again — after a reset you can also enter pairing by holding SELECT for three seconds. To force power off at any time, hold START for 8 seconds. Remember to forget the old entry on your device too.
