The receiver will be inside an enclosure. Does the remote work with wifi or Bluetooth to change the volume setting?

I have my 60 inch Samsung and have a Samsung IR plugged in to the tv. My cable box, receiver and all other stuff are in a closet 15ft away... I purchased a 12ft 3.5 male to female audio extension cable which works fine with the Samsung IR and that sends the signal to my tv remote to control the cable box and the volume... So I barely use the receiver remote... If I do want to change something I'd use the app on my phone or ipad...

The remote uses IR to control the receiver. I would just make sure that your enclosure does not obstruct line of sight between remote and the IR-receiver (front of unit)... If you're connected through wi-fi, you could just use the android/iOs app and not worry about line of sight issues.

Dear Guy,Thanks for your inquiry. Provided the receiver can receive wi-fi inside the cabinet, that is what you would use to control the receiver. Bluetooth is only a means to send music to the receiver wirelessly. Please let me know if I can be of any additional assistance.Regards,Eric CohenWorld Wide Stereo

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

I have just used the app for adjusting the volume when watching TV. It works great as the receiver is in a enclosed cabinet and with my old receiver I always had to open the door in order to access the volume remotely or by hand.

No problem with BlueTooth. But you are right about the remote, it is a big joke. And I do not like the fact it does not have any indecation light to show how high volume is. Good sound though.

Yes, when connected to a Bluetooth media player, you can control your Bluetooth-enabled device with this remote. For further assistance, please email support@satechi.com. Thank you, Satechi Technical Support

The receiver cannot be controlled using a dock's remote. At least it doesn't work for me using a Bose SoundDock, it is probably the same with all docks. The unit doesn't seem to have anything that will detect a remote's command. I hope this helps answer your question!

There are Bluetooth speaker adapters that you can attach to remotely control the speaker unit with a computer or phone.

Mostly yes because it simply connects to the headphone jack (has additional adapters too). Remember the 2 annoying things 1)you can use the remote to turn the speakers off but not for turning on when you need (hard to imagine that these days) 2) Keeps chirping when you turn the source off (quite possibly the wi-fi and cell phone )

I have few questions. Can you hook up Bluetooth devices to this receiver? if so, will the recommended yamaha bluetooth will work? 2).Can you play music through zone 2 and not have music playing on the main speakers at the same time? 3) I tried adjusting the volume in zone 2 speakers and it said Fixed volume. what does that mean? Can you adjust volume via smartphone if you have it hooked up through bluetooth?

Absolutely. The remote will work as long as it is connected to the device via Bluetooth regardless of any output you have connected to the device, Bluetooth or wired.

No I bought the TaoTronics BTI-005 Bluetooth Audio Dongle Receiver and it works great with it. I can listen to music on my phone thru the speaker with the bluetooth device

Hi R. Roesler:This receiver does not support Bluetooth, therefore I can not use wireless speakers.Michael.

I own a Samsung LED and when I setup this as an "external speaker" from the TV setup, the functionality of volume at TV gets disabled. So I have to use the new remote.
