Is there a way to disable to auto switch to bluetooth when a device connects. If I'm watching something on the TV it cuts off every time I startup a device that has connected to it and reconnects.

    What devices are we talking about here, exactly?

    Fastest way is probably to manually toggle Bluetooth on the one that that's causing the issue. Keep it off until you want to use it.

    I'm using a Signa S2 sound bar. The auto switch is quite annoying as I can't have any of my devices have it saved as a bluetooth connection.

    I've had this happen unexpectedly with other sound devices, too, like headsets and headphones.

    Presuming you're talking about smartphones here, since you didn't say. Whichever devices are connecting automatically, you can turn off Bluetooth on them. Not ideal, but if you've been through the manual, and there's no way to switch off the S2's Bluetooth, this'll probably be your only option. You don't need to delete the pairing, just switch off BT on the device and it can't connect.
