Can it work as a pass-through? I want to connect my phone/mp3 via Bluetooth to my home theater system without disconnecting my tv.

Depends on the inputs of your home theater system, but it should work. If you are using a receiver that has inputs, you will connect this to the appropriate input on your receiver and each time you want to listen to phone, you will be able to select that input. If you listen directly through the tv, your tv probably has inputs to hook this up. Third most likely setup is a Soundbar or some type of audio speaker setup and some of those can support it as well.

yes. just find an open analog input (red/white rca jack) on your receiver (home theater system) -- doesn't matter what the input is called (CD, BD, DVR). then switch your receiver to the same input setting name. your TV should play no part in this configuration.

Yes, there are many ways of connecting your TV. I used an optical cable which provides digital audio. I also connect it to my phone via bluetooth and play music from my phone.

Yes, I use it to transmit audio to an amplifier enabled with bluetooth, to my bluetooth Bose mini speaker, to my bluetooth headphones and to do a number of things with my android phone, such as to transfer files, all this with this Bluetooth dongle attached to my laptop, there's also a little device called Bluetooth transmitter you can buy for $10 to enable receivers, amplifiers and headphones without Bluetooth technology.Someone down there said this device does not transmit in stereo, wrong, it does, it plays perfectly well in all my audio devices in [[[[[stereo]]]]]

I am not technically gifted but I see no reason it wouldn't work. I plug the transmitter into the phone jack on an MP3 player and pair it with a Bose Bluetooth speaker and it works beautifully. There is never any distortion. I love being able to hold a Bose quality stereo system in the palm of my hand. Your application sounds the same and should work if your home theater system is Bluetooth capable. I would try it.

No. The phone audio is not routed over the Bluetooth connection to the device. Only music/alert sounds are routed. You can use this for your music and if you get a phone call the audio remains in the iPhone 5. I own this device and use it with the iPhone 5.

I have mine hooked up through the TV audio. I've never had an issue with utilizing it in any kind of scenario.

I plugged it into my tv output and receive the signal to my by head set just fine your just using a different media should be just fine. The only problem I have had in the past with other by in the same room. I have had to isolate the units to pair them.

Pretty sure this isn't what your looking for to hook up to home stereo. You need an auxiliary input jack (small headphone size). The Bluetooth reciever plugs into that and accepts the Bluetooth signal from phone, iPod etc.

No...it is just used to sync the device to your bluetooth device. Your Bluetooth device controls all functions. Think of this like a wireless RCA cable. All it does is allow you to send music or audio wirelessly to a powered speaker or stereo system. you control the audio through whatever device you have connected.

You should be able to do this if you use the mini-jack (3.5mm) or RCA port on the speakers for the TV connection. As the other answers said, you'll still have to press the bluetooth button on the remote.

Good Question! And one I didn't consider when purchasing this unit. The answer is: Apparently not. After getting your question I tried to see if my DVD would play through the Yamaha RX-V371 (with it off, or to say - in standby) to my HDTV. So the receiver does not appear have the pass-through feature. Turning on the receiver yielded both audio & video to my HDTV. Be advised that both the Yamaha unit and my HDTV are circa 2010, have been classified as "discontinued," and probably a feature (as well as others) no one thought about at the time. Note that I use HDMI cables between the Blu-ray player, to the receiver and to the HDTV (as well as an audio optical cable from the HDTV to the receiver). Because of the two-year span of advanced technical features, these units may not have all the features that have occured during that time. But if you can deal with the lack of the stand-by feature, the receiver is a good one otherwise, and at a good price. You might also pose your question to Yamaha (http://usa.yamaha.com)

Yes you can use this for a bluetooth headset to your TV, HOWEVER, you need to make sure your headset has APT-X. Typical bluetooth has a very long delay. You will see the lips move before you hear the words. That will drive you crazy. Bluetooth with APT-X reduces that delay, but does not completely eliminate it. However you will need both the transmitter and receiver to have APT-X. This device can be used as your transmitter from your TV, but your headset ( the receiver ) must also have APT-X.

Yes, it is the most direct and cleanest way to do that and the range if this device is very good. There may be cheaper ways to do it with another Bluetooth receiver and or using an audio cable adapter into the aux input, but would involve patch cables and may not perform as well and not be remote

Yes. Connect to your TV and all your devices will work through it. For best sound quality, pick up an optical cord if your TV has the connection.

Yes， it still pass audio through the HDMI and RCA L/R, after connect the T-AMP(for headphones), you can use it for wireless headphones and TV Audio at the same time.

As far as I know this works in the opposite direction only. You could use it to feed audio to your TV from a Blue tooth device but not from your TV to anything.
