You can have both devices connect ( Bluetooth, RCA cable-Aux 3.5) their is a source button on top of the main bass speaker, you push that button to switch over from Bluetooth to the aux

No, you need a bluetooth transmitter, this one is a receiver so it wont work but if you have a sound system you may be better off going wired I'm not sure what your trying to accomplish. If you want to listen to the tv thru your soundsystem using bluetooth i suggest you try to find one that is specificly a transmitter there are several here on Amozon i got this one Bluetooth 3.0 Bluetoth Audia Dongle for iPhone, iPad, Hifi iPod, TVby Lemon and it works for me it may be out of stock but their others that are similar just be sure it a transmitter

No this bluetooh interface works with Aux input only. You may want to check Belkins FM transmitter. I have used before and just works fine.

Sorry, I've failed completely in connecting mine to my iPad via Bluetooth. Therefore I can't hear anything!

Hello Al,Thank you for your inquiry.The HiDEF Wireless Bluetooth TV Sound Bar Speaker System is designed with a 3.5mm audio input and RCA inputs to connect to a TV. If your TV has a 3.5mm audio out connection (a headphone jack) or has RCA audio out you will be able to connect it to your TV.You are also able to connect to this speaker system with a Bluetooth connection (the speaker uses the A2DP Bluetooth profile). However, we do not recommend this connection with a TV. The Bluetooth profile used does not transmit instantly and you will experience a delay in the sound coming out of the speaker to the action on the TV screen.Sincerely,Accessory GenieCustomer Service Hello Al,Thank you for your inquiry.The HiDEF Wireless Bluetooth TV Sound Bar Speaker System is designed with a 3.5mm audio input and RCA inputs to connect to a TV.

We use it quite easily with an iPad over bluetooth. Haven't tried with anything else.

it's not compatible with this item, but u can use the aux 3.5 mm to connect with it.

Yes. You can connect a aux cable from an external source, i.e. iPod, iPhone, iPad, roku through the headphone output on those devices. Hope it helps. Good luck.

Yes, I have a aux port on my tv and so does the system. So it just plugs into my tv. Sound systems like this are usually used for computers and pcs I never used it for my Xbox just my tv hope this answered you're question. If not go ahead and ask again.

Hi, good question. I believe it depends on the type of bluetooth your device has. Exsample, I have an iPad Air and has a bluetooth 4.0 type built within. So far I found it can transmit a minimum of two devices at full capacity i.e. my bluetooth keyboard and my bluetooth ear phones at the same time. My previous iPad 2 could only transmit a signal for only 1 device at a time. So...the only way you can find out is by turning on one speaker at a time and see if it gets discovered by what ever you're joining too. Good luck and let me know how it works out. Peace!

I actually have them connected to my apple TV and not the TV. So either you can stream via AirPlay thru the Apple TV or just by Bluetooth. In your case if there is not TV involved, the bluetooth option works great and still you have an optical audi input to plug another audio device

A few times I had to open youtube just to see the blue triangle to enable AirPlay. Bluetooth works like any other divice and its recommended you get bluetooth working first before you can enable AirPlay.

Yes. Every time I turn bluetooth on using my iPhone 5, then power up the dongle, it connects and start playing within 3-5 seconds or less.

VGA is only for the video not the sound. I use this adapter to connect to a projector that I have which does not have HDMI. I then connect a 3.5 mm cable into the iPad earphone/speaker jack to get sound. You could do the same for your TV. I also bought the apple lightning to HDMI adapter for connecting to my TV. That adapter carries both video and audio like you wanted but you must have an available HDMI port on your TV for it to work. The bottom line is the adapter you purchased only carries the video signal. For sound with that adapter you have 3 choices: 1. Use the sound on your iPad. 2. Plug a cable into your iPad earphone jack and some sound device (your TV). 3. Connect your iPad to a Bluetooth speaker system. I use this method when it's available.

same problem here, I have a Apple TV with Digital Audio Out and a pair of 3.5mm-jack speakers. Can I use this cable for this endeavor?

the AUX is only a HDMI input, you could connect a blu ray player, digital camera or other device with a HDMI output.
