You referred to the Aluratek as a transmitter in your first comments...its a receiver. Just hooked one up to my old sound system in my barn and put an old Android phone in an adjacent room. It works perfectly and I'm 71 years old!
I need to know how to connect receiver to bluetooth speaker/s being speakers do not have screens to choose from, an which port to put RCA connecters or could I use headphone jack on receiver
Thanks! Have some very old Bose 901's I got back in 1980 when stationed in Italy. This new Bluetooth technology is fantastic. At 67, you can teach an "old dog new tricks", it just takes alittle longer! LOL
Hi, so I don't have spare audio in on my hifi. We already have a tuner, tape cassette and cd hooked up. Is there something like an audio in splitter, so I dont have to unplug any other inputs to plug in a Bluetooth receiver? Thanks
Can my tv connect via bluetooth to this so I can have the surround speakers in my other room? All my speakers are connected to my receiver in the living room and the speakers in my room run to the living room so hence why I want to connect my samsung thats in my room via bluetooth
Ok here's a question for you...I have an 80s ghetto blaster with no aux input..only 3.5mm headphone jack. It does not have rca inputs. So you tell me how I can plug a Bluetooth receiver into the ghettoblaster to allow me to stream my music from mobile phone. I presently use a Bluetooth cassette adapter but want something better.
Do you know of one that will both Transmit and Receive bluetooth signals - so that I can transmit music Out of old receiver to a BT speaker for instance?
I’ve followed your advice. It worked. However the effect is different than expected. I was hoping to keep quality of the sound similar to the sound I’m getting while playing cds on my cd player connected to the receiver and then to the speakers. When using Bluetooth adapter, the volume level on my receiver has to be almost all the way up (on the scale 0-72) and the quality of the sound is just ok. When using cd player, brilliant and juicy sound comes out of my speakers when volume level is barely 15. I have tried both wired adapter connected directly to my smartphone and wireless one made by Esinkin. The effect is similar. Volume has to be really high on the receiver to get rather average quality sound. The same smartphone used to stream music via newer, yet lesser quality stereo system, brings better sound than my B&W speakers. Does that mean using new digital technology with old stereo brings only partial results and more realistic approach would be to replace the receiver?😊
@@cezarsellsrealestate1005 I'm in same boat ... I'm using VCR red n white on back and that's because I still use a record player , cd player and twin tape player and so only leaves VCR or TV dvd channels. I decided for now to not bother until someone can explain how to better that option.. especially as I not that technical 😂
I want to make my old stereo system play music through Bluetooth rather than wired speakers. Is this the device to make that happen, or is there some other gadget to do that?
Does it sleep/go into standby and require a button press to use after the night? Does it allow easy device switching (without needing to turn off BT on the first device or unpair the receiver on first device before being able to connect with a second device)?
I have an old NAD 7140 receiver purchased date: 1985. I have outputs for CD, record player, cassette deck and aux. What I would like to do is play records through my NAD and stream to an a bluetooth speaker. Will the Aluratek Bluetooth allow me to do that?
I’ve got a question, I bought either this same model or another that looks like it from aluratek and I was wondering, if it is plugged into a tv does it also transmit to the video? Or is it just the audio? And if it transmits video how do I do that because the instructions keep saying “enable your tv” but doesn’t specify. Thank you.
Hi, what i want to know, just like you play audio from your phone, can you play your tv audio through the bluetooth receiver aswell? I have a smart tv with bluetooth capability.
I just bought a new 65" TV that was supposed to be blue tooth capable, but after trying to figure out how to activate it, it is not. So, I complained to Best Buy about my situation, they helped me very much by selling me this device. I am no dummy, but am technically challenged. I cannot seem to get this gadget to "Pair" with my ear buds and wondered if you had any ideas?
I hope you’re still around! I’ve tried this but no success. I have an older model RCA TV no Bluetooth. Trying to connect to my Bose ear buds. I get it paired to my iPhone but no sound to the phone to use my ear buds. The sound still plays on the tv. 🤷🏻♀️ help!
@@ReviewKingHQ I was thinking that if I could get it connected to my iphone that I would be able to listen to it with my Bose ear buds connected to my phone. I did get it connected to my phone but the sound did not come through the phone and was still very audible on the tv. 🤷🏻♀️
Good day - can u pls inform what device should I use, in order to pair an old receiver to wireless bluetooth speakers?

A question. Can I hook this up with wifi from my home computer? Without a phone? I've just now have wifi and am looking for a way to hear my tv in my home speakers. Thanks!
I did what you said and plugged it into the CD outlets in the back of my receiver. The device is pairing to my phone but the music is not playing. I have a CD player connected to my receiver. Do I need to use another set of plug ins.
Do you need to use the RCA cords or can you just use the head phone outlet on the receiver? I recently purchased the Aluratek AISO1F Is Stream from BEST BUY and am using Air pods from apple
That's what I have been doing. I just bought myself a tiny Bluetooth speaker, removed its native speaker and re-routed the speaker wires to much bigger ones(i.e. speakers). So, I am using my cellphone to play music to my modified sound system. You just have to keep the Bluetooth set on charge, that's all.
