What does this mean (Expansion optional_mp3_cable, optional_bluetooth, optional_hd_radio)? Can I get HD radio with this receiver?

Oh sorry Richard. I thought u were talking about my new TDK Bluetooth. And no, I don't see a phone jack on my Sony HD radio.

As is stated above, the HD version adds support for the aptX standard that greatly increases the sound quality on the Bluetooth transmission/reception side and also allows you to use an external device's DAC via the SPDIF connectors. Since the average receiver has a better DAC (Digital to Analog Converter), the combination of later BT Audio quality (aptX that does not compress the audio like earlier standards) and the option for "off board" DAC use makes for a very solid sound quality as long as the player is new enough to support the BT 4.0 or later standards (3.0 may work as well but I haven't bothered to check). Older devices will play music but still suffer compressed audio quality and this will not magically make poor bit rate files sound better. As for the DAC on the HD, it's probably better than the original version as well but the big advantage here is the ability to just use it as a more or less transparent receiver of clean audio over a wireless connection; this alone is a big step. I can say that listening to high quality rips over my Pioneer Elite AVR connected via SPDIF over my extra DCM Timeframes has really impressed me. The HD is capable of passing through very good quality sound and that makes a great deal at the available price. Audiophile thumbs up.

You can use both. Make sure you plug in and turn on the woofer. You have to set up for sound to go through receiver. Also Bluetooth works great.

I see nothing about bluetooth support. It has audio out phono jacks (red and white), an earphone jack, and a USB port. I does take songs in from Windows Media, but I'm presuming that's part of the WiFi (802.11n) capability. I don't even know if (but doubt that) hooking a bluetooth transmitter to the the USB port work outbound since USB in doesn't necessary mean USB out. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

I am not sure if i got your question completely.This is Bluetooth receiver, and can receive streaming music from any device with Bluetooth transmission like a mobile phone. Of that device had capability to play music from external device then the device can send music to Bluetooth receiver like this.HTH.

If you have Bluetooth coming from your p.c. then your headphones should reconize. No software to install. Worked for me. Also, make sure it is A2DP compliant or this will not pair!

I live in San Jose, California, where we have several HD radio stations. I tried hooking up my Audiovox IHDP01A using my auxiliary jack in my car. The stations either didn't play or if they did, they only played for a few seconds, then were lost. Good luck.

Looks like the MR230B includes a 3.5mm to dual RCA cable as well as the other cables. Bluetooth version specs the same. http://www.augustint.com/products/bluetooth_music_receivers.htm

Pioneer in my eyes have released this head unit way too soon...a lot of features such as mirrorlink...apple functions etc...are not functioning yet. There is supposed to be a firmware upgrade sometime this year. So depending on what functions your looking for, streaming of bluetooth etc will work...all other functions will come at a later date.

I don't know what you are asking. HD channels show what artist is playing. Additional info would clog the display, and I wouldn't want to read a bunch of stuff, anyway. It's a radio (remember them?) not a smart phone or Ipad.

yes, by using airplay. but your receiver needs to be connected to your network via network cable. Or you can buy the blutooth dongle and play the music via blutooth.

You need the cable for app radio mode . Bluetooth will only give you audio.

HD Radio is a separate input so only works if you specifically choose HD. the radio default to what ever you were listening to last

You only need an aux jack for this unit to work. No phono jack needed. Has its own amplifier inside unit. It does not need receivers.

You can still use this receiver for 5.2. It will configure to what speakers you hook up. You can also bypass the wifi. In your setup you can do that there.

The HD radio is built in. When you tune to a HD ready station information is displayed about their HD choices. It's awesome.
