Is the only receiver output to an amp? What if I want to play over my home stereo? Or if I want to go directly to a bluetooth speaker?

I know I use mine through my PA system also, I do not know about the stereo unless there is a port which will take it.

You can plug into anything with a 1/4" input; you would need an adaptor from radio shack that converts to RCA plugs, to plug into your stereo. No bluetooth. But most importantly, who cares what you play it through - the product SUCKS as there is a noticeable time delay between playing the note and hearing it come out the speaker! This makes it impossible to take this product seriously, even (especially?) for the beginner. Buy a cable for $15, or save up $300 to buy the real deal. THIS IS A PIECE OF JUNK, I have no idea how this company is still in business! BUYER BEWARE!!

I have only used it hooked up to an amp and also through the computer for my son to play rocksmith

The best try is the amp. I'm not sure this system works fine in home stereo.I have a Mark Bass amp and this system works great for me!

Interesting scenario. The only I can think of is to split the connection since you probably only have one center channel speaker output on your receiver. The other thing you can do is use your rear center channel connection if your receiver has it.

Nope. It's a great little amp, but not quite as powerful as I thought it would be. It delivers great sound at all levels and is perfect for my application, which is powering two Yamaha outdoor speakers by my patio. I bought this with a NFC-enabled Bluetooth Audio Receiver (&lt; $30) and the combination of the amp, receiver, and speakers (which by the way were less than $80) work like a charm. My patio area is about 20' x 20'. If it were larger, I might need a more powerful amp. Overall, I am delighted with this little device and would highly recommend it for the right application.

Hi Ben, believe it or not, you don't even need a receiver for these speakers because they have on-board amp and EQ. This means you don't need the "middle man". You can go directly from your music source to the speaker, or you can go from your music source, to a mixer, and from the mixer to the speakers. These are active speakers, which means they do not need a powered channel, all they need is the audio signal and the speakers do the rest. These speakers make an absolutely badass home-theater setup. I have a pair of XLR-to-RCA speaker cords and I just plug the RCA end into the red/white(L/R) output channels on my Blu-ray, plug the XLR into my mixer, then run a cord to each speaker and press play. If your receiver has a set of RCA outputs, I don't see why you couldn't use these in place of normal satellite speakers. Awesome sound quality, AMAZING volume and bass. Hell, sometimes I even plug my mp3 player directly into the speaker using a 1/8"-to-1/4" converter plug and crank it up. All I need is music, and a power outlet and I'm set. Honestly, I have replaced every speaker I've ever had with just one set of these JBL's. I use them for everything(Home theater, music listening, studio monitors, amplifying musical instruments, mobile dj-ing, etc..). Just buy them man, you'll be happy :)

I am familiar with that specific receiver, however, if it has Bluetooth capabilities it should be able to connect with speaker. Keep it mind that this a small speaker with good sound quality , yet it is not a replacement for a main speaker system.

This is not an amp. It takes an output to speakers and can run different sets of speakers. If you do not have enough power in your receiver to run the speakers it will not work. Each time you turn on a set of speakers it will drop the power by a percentage. Some receivers can not handle more then three sets.

It doesn't matter. Plug your output into either input. It only has two inputs in case of stereo system where the speakers each have their own amp. This wouldn't apply in home-theater set-ups.

It only functions as a (Bluetooth) receiver. Cannot be used to connect to or transmit other speakers.

No its only a speaker selector not an amplifier. There are a lot of options for what you need though. Search ipod speaker or something similar.

I can't comment as to whether you can transmit audio to a bluetooth stereo receiver but I do transmit audio from my PC to a bluetooth speaker. I would assume then you should be able to transmit audio to a bluetooth stereo receiver.

Any speaker can be wired directly to your stereo or amp, assuming the impedance of each end matches (speakers of higher impedance can be wired to devices outputting lower, but power and efficiency will be lost) if you are looking to use these in an automobile environment, you will likely need an external amp to drive them, but solely from a power perspective. They will operate powered from your stereo, but will be very underpowered. This will decrease the life of the speaker and lead to subpar sound. Look to purchase a quality amp that will output the quoted RMS and ohms of the speaker.

Yes, you can connect any standard stereo cable into the output jack and it will clone what the speaker itself is playing. Would be a cheap way to add a BT receiver to a stereo with a line in.

You would need to have a receiver or amplifier to use this unit. Speakers would depend on what amp or receiver you use.

Why would you want to do that? Look into the BIC subs for home stereos. I have one and it is powerful and it has a amp connected to it. Even if you hook it up to a home stereo, this sub still needs lots of power.

The bluetooth receiver has a 3.5mm output port, so you could use a 3.5mm to RCA cable. If your amplifier has a 3.5mm input port, you could also use a 3.5mm to 3.5mm audio cable, but I would say the RCA ports are more likely to be available, a 3.5mm port may or may not exist on your amp. As far as range, I have used mine from 15 feet away with one wall in between and it worked great. The max range you will get is probably around 20 feet, but that could be reduced if there's not a clear line of sight.

The Phillips Bluetooth adapter outputs a "line level" signal meant to act as the input to an amplifier. The Phillips unit will NOT drive speakers directly without the aid of an amplifier. I connect the output of the Phillips unit to the "Aux" input of my surround sound system. Works great! Good luck. John Kerwin

You could use RCA out (red and white connectors) on your stereo receiver to the RCA input on the amp. Because it doesn't have speaker binding posts you can't use it to replace an amp in your system, per se, of course there are workarounds, but as a headphone amp for a CD, SACD, digital stream, etc., through your stereo receiver it should work beautifully. Hope that helps.~Christian
