    Very helpful! Bought the device hooked it up to my moderately old Onkyo receiver and a Feit smart switch and everything works as described. Thank you, we now have our excellent stereo system revived and updated. Much better than listening to music on a Alexa device. Thanks again for a great video.

    Thanks for that from the UK. Very handy to be able to stream tunes from your phone. Also if anyone is visiting, makes it easy to have their taste in music available say for a party. I have some power sockets with integrated USB outlets on them, so no need for an adapter.

    I was using a Bluetooth receiver similar to this for a while to turn my Klipsch ProMedia computer speakers to a Bluetooth system streamer - however I swapped that out to an Smart Device like an Amazon Echo (4th Gen or Older) with an auxiliary output. Instead of Bluetooth you can actually stream audio to it. Now I don’t think the streaming specs match that of say a dedicated audio streaming device but for the price of about 20 bucks it’s hard to beat. You can also Bluetooth to it from a Laptop or TV for a “wireless speaker” solution. You will still need a receiver for the passive speakers

    I have a vintage rca new vista solid state console from 1965 with tuner, phono and tape input. Can I connect the external speaker output from an echo dot to the tape in. Concerned about line level. I tried it once and after about 2 hours of listening suddenly the speakers started to fuzz. Doesn’t seem like any long term damage was done. Looking for any help. Would it be better to add BT and BT echo that way?

    Thanks for this informative video. I myself have a Pioneer SX 727 receiver I purchased new in 1974. The tape loop terminals are labeled “rec(ord)” and “mon(itor)”. When hooking up a tape recorder the “rec” connectors take the signal of the source (turntable for example”) out to the tape deck and the signal from the tape deck is connected to the Pioneer “mon” inputs.
    The “mon” connectors on the Pioneer are equivalent to your “play” connectors I believe. At 2:59 I think you meant to say the Bluetooth receiver should be connected to the “play” inputs. Anyway, great video and I look forward to more.

    • @breakerbroke23
      @breakerbroke23  2 года назад +2

      I would suggest using the MYPIN Bluetooth receiver and plug it to the AUX input on your radio. I suggest this particular device because it has the extra output to drive the mismatch AUX level your radio has. Here is a video on the MYPIN. ruclips.net/video/1RfTmxm3uXI/видео.html

    Another great video. Hate to see asking you questions but I just got Auris BlueMe Pro. Moved my heavy stereo cabinet out from the wall and hooked up everything ( almost everything ) but I used the fibre optic input and outputs. Moved the cabinet back thinking was good to go. Nope. No sound. So moved the cabinet out again and hooked up the supplied RCA cables and worked great. So I'm wondering is the optical inputs just for sound on a TV? I have other stereos in the house hooked to the tv that way. Or am I missing something. Thanks again for all your help. You're the best. 👍

    1. BT device in Transmitting audio mode. Connected to an Cellphone, can it record the audio while filming with the cellphone camera.
    2. 2 exact the same dual devices. Can they be paired to each-other (input) jack -> bt transmit bt receiver -> jack (output)

I was really bad I grabbed it😅😅😅 I was hoping it worked because when you plug it in it came on its black it will blow your out of your freaking house so I haven't hooked it up in years it's buried.. I have a crackhead special JVC with a stupid equalizer hooked up to a Rockville sound it was on sale restaurant amplifier Bluetooth.... it's not stereo it's one of the ones where you can run speakers from here to wherever you are and it will just get louder in parallel.... so I wanted stereo but I'd hope I don't blow my Sony speakers cuz they're pretty good nothing sounds like real old stereos.... I can tell the difference between the digital surround and my stereo big difference.. what if you put your guitar through the phonograph input?? I'm always thinking of how to get a different sound not that I'm a pro guitars but I'm better than I was.. maybe some kind of a tube amplifier with a decent speaker those Harley Benton are really good wonder what that would sound like?? I don't think anybody ever did it yet they used an old stereo from the 40s... I got so much stuff still sold my records I feel like part of my soul is gone.. that's why I'm so happy to have the Bluetooth with almost every song but not all of them but I'm so rare that nobody had them..... I should have given them to the Salvation Army not sold them to a dealer for rape money I was raped never should have got high first..... almost every time I see a cool record I had it... Skinner with the flames original Grateful Dead working man's dead Mott the Hoople a lot of Beatles And he was only going to give me $200 for a stack of 200 records probably got more than $2,000 and he was supposed to take the rest of the Salvation Army but he kept them Never Smoke Weed and get high before you're doing a deal ever I was too nice😅😅
