Apple TV can not find any Bluetooth devices?

Apple TV can not connect to any Bluetooth device? Used to pair with mini speaker and no longer can? I purchased two new sound bars and Apple TV can not find them in Bluetooth device. Our phones and other devices find the all the sound bars and speakers but the Apple TV can not?

I have already reset Apple TV to factory setting, but the device still can not find Bluetooth devices?

Apple TV may default to wired speakers via HDMI. Bluetooth was always an ad hoc option, and many users have found that they have to re-connect for each use. Connecting to new bluetooth devices requires that these are set to pairing mode, so verify that. Previously connected bluetooth devices should be remembered as shortcut options.

If your Siri Remote works correctly, then the bluetooth itself works fine for the Apple TV part.
