Is it absolutely necessary to have a "line of sight" connection between the bluetooth receiver and the audio source?

This is a Bluetooth device and, as such, does not need line of site. In fact, you could transmit from a Bluetooth device in another room up to about 30 feet away. I have discovered that the device actually will pick up signals even further away but the actual distance depends on what objects, like walls, are between your device and the Nyrius.

Absolutely not, Bluetooth uses radio frequency which will go through walls and such.

Actually, this nifty little box is a Bluetooth RECEIVER, not a transmitter. The only audio connector on it is LINE OUT, which you would plug into your stereo system amplifier. That would permit you, for example, to play music on your smartphone (via Bluetooth) through your audio system. What you're looking for is a Bluetooth TRANSMITTER, which has a LINE IN connector, and broadcasts to your speakers, which contain Bluetooth receivers. Although I haven't tried it, the GadgetZone DBPower Portable Stereo Wireless Bluetooth Transmitter/Adapter Dongle here on Amazon looks like it might be a good choice. This is a little black box that plugs into a minijack (such as a headphone jack) and broadcasts to Bluetooth devices. It could be used for your application, but you might have to get an adapter to plug it into your old stereo system. Note that most devices (probably all) like this don't connect to speaker terminals -- they have to receive "line level" signals like those from an "audio out" jack or some headphone jacks. What you want to do is really very easy in principle, but your "old stereo" might not let you just plug and play without a little more fiddling. It depends on what kind of connections are available on the stereo.

Yes, you can transmit stereo audio to a Bluetooth receiver. However in my experience, the signal doesn't really go further than 15 feet or so.

After looking at the TV settings, I don't see any direct bluetooth function...so I seriously doubt it. Hear is an idea for you though. The way I arranged my sound, is hooking up my Vizio Soundbar to the TV via the Optical Cable. The rest of Vizio surround system is wireless/bluetooth. So, I have my cell phone and other bluetooth devices linked to the soundbar instead, which is good because you wont even need to have the TV on, if you are linking your music device. Hope this helps.

Hi Roy Keller, This receiver only receives bluetooth signal from a certain device and output audio to the speakers. It cannot output bluetooth signal to a bluetooth headphones. Thanks. &gt;Joffrey

No.It's an one way in the receiver.But, there's a some gadgets that can be plug-in from reciever to emits bluetooth OUT.Look for similar Logitech Bluetooth Speaker Adapter for Audio Devices.

It's a Bluetooth thing, Bluetooth requires it if you use their proprietary technology

No, the device does not have to be in direct line of sight. It is bluetooth (radio), not infrared. Mine is plugged into the rear of an amplifier inside a cabinet. Does need to be within 30 feet of source.

nope, its bluetooth it send signal to your receiver that has speakers attached.

This is to connect the base unit to the speakers. You still need to connect base unit to the the receiver using the the Bose DB style connector (I have an older Bose system). What I was able to find was and old MAC video DB cable (M-F) that connected to the Bose cable then ran that out of the wall to the base unit. However, when connecting to the receiver the L-R channels are switched so adjust the connections accordingly. So now I have 2 small cables coming out of the wall going to the base unit. Very clean.

I haven't installed my unit yet, but I assume the answer is yes. I keep my music on my phone and intend to connect to the stereo unit via bluetooth in order to avoid having to run a wire from the unit to my device. If you're not using bluetooth, I believe you will always have a "wired" connection with the stereo unit.

Get 'HomeSpot NFC-enabled Bluetooth Audio Receiver for Sound System'. Should work perfect.

Anytime you hardwire vs stream your audio quality will be much better. So the Bluetooth will not sound as good.

No, but perhaps you could find a bluetooth audio receiver and an auxiliary splitter to run wires to both devices!

I am almost certain that you can only use bluetooth as an input to the receiver. I looked in my user manual and it says I can pair up to 6 devices but it says nothing about being able to pair the receiver to bluetooth speakers. Here's a link to the user manual:http://www.onkyousa.com/Products/model.php?m=CS-355(B)&class;=Audiosys&source;=prodClass that you can look at for yourself. We needed a very compact system for our kitchen and this one has been great. Using bluetooth to connect our phone devices works great - although I know that wasn't your question.

Yes. The Bluetooth remote is much faster and does not require line of sight. I think the picture is higher quality because of the much improved and more modern processor. You may want to try one in the location it is used the most. Some people have complained about the wireless. I use the ethernet connection and that works well.

What you need is a Bluetooth RECEIVER not a BT Transmiter which is what this is.
