You control the volume at the stereo or the phone. You may have to go to the Bluetooth connection on your phone after you begin the streaming to initiate the phone to look for the signal from the HK. Steven Jul 22, 2018 The Harmon Kardon BTA is made for older units without Bluetooth capabilities. It is extremely easy to hook up.
You simply plug in the supplied cords to an unused output on your receiver and plug in a power cord. I actually use on an older Onkyo receiver myself. Definitely worth the money as opposed to buying a new receiver.
James Jul 22, 2018 You can connect to any audio input from your receiver via RCA cablesEnter an answer to this question. HARRY RUIZ Jul 22, 2018 Plugit into.a Source like.AUX.
It should work. Stanley Jul 22, 2018 It is simple, it just connects via a red and white audio inputs to one of your existing rca female plugs. It works great A+ Rick Jul 22, 2018 The Harman Kardon unit has a hard wired connection to your stereo- line in right/left. It purpose is to provide a blue tooth link between your smart phone and stereo.
I have 2 of the units, they both work great. Clockdoc Jul 22, 2018.
I have purchased 2 units and they work extremely well, but inside my home. They are plugged in to standard 110 volt AC electrical outlets. So you would need to have 110 volt AC converter in your car - don't believe the unit works on 12 volt found in most cars. MICHAEL W Jul 09, 2018 No Roy Jul 09, 2018 Not sure, but don't think the connectors would work with a car.
Check with Crutchfield, they are super helpful. Timothy Jul 09, 2018 It is designed to be used on house current. I guess if you had an inverter that takes 12 volts DC and bumps it up to 110 volts AC it would work but seems like a lot of trouble. John Jul 09, 2018 Never tried. Use it in my living room. Kevin Jul 09, 2018. The blue light is on periodically when the stereo is turned off.
If your stereo has a switched plug, then this will ease lack of automation. GEORGE W May 01, 2018 It is always on.
But you must turn your receiver to the appropriate input selection where you have it plugged into. Steven May 01, 2018 Yeah this is a pretty sweet add on to my old style hk avr 635. It sits in the background and allows iphones to hook in and play through the system. CHRISTIE May 01, 2018 No. Unless you leave it on all the time,which I don't recommend,it won't auto on when you play say Pandora from your devices.
I use mine with my iPhone or iPad. Go to settings,press on Bluetooth,press on HK bta 10 and it turns immediately on. I have 2 and they both work perfectly. Lawrence Apr 30, 2018 Yes, it turns on automatically. Sometimes, when you stop using it for a long time, it shuts off and you have to turn it on again.Enter an answer to this question. HARRY RUIZ Apr 30, 2018 There is no power switch, it is active any time that it is provided with power.
Clockdoc Apr 30, 2018 Yes. I plug mine into a switched outlet on the back of my receiver. So when i hit the power.it comes on. Richard Apr 30, 2018 Yes I'm my case it does because I have it plugged into the back of my stereo receiver which provides power when turned on.
Many receivers have that option. I am sure it is always on, similar to a cable tv box, if you plug in the unit directly to a wall receptacle.
James Apr 30, 2018 They do. Stanley Apr 30, 2018. BSmart, I'm not quite sure that I understand your intent with this device, however, I can tell you how I use the HK BTA-10. The device allows my stereo receiver to be controlled (volume,track,playlist,etc) with my smart phone. It connects to my receiver via a red & white RCA type jack into the AUX inputs on the back of the receiver. I would imagine that it could be connected to any of the other unused functions as well.There is also a separate cable and adapter for power. None of the connections for this device connect to the headphone jack in my application.
In respect to your speaker question, I don't think that type of application is the intent of this device. Further, your smart-TV most likely is already Bluetooth enabled, allowing you to listen via your favorite headphones with a wireless connection. Hopefully my comments have given you some insight into this product. Good Luck, JD JEFF Apr 08, 2018 May mute your speakers with pluged on jack.try it.
thomas Apr 07, 2018 I use two of these on two different receivers. I'm not aware that these work plugged into a headphone jack. The headphone jack is an output jack, the BTA 10 needs to be plugged into a input jack like the input for a CD player into a receiver. Ken Apr 07, 2018 Plug the Audio Out cable from the HK BTA10 into the Aux In of your stero or TV. Turn on the Bluetooth mode and connect your devices - you should be good to go.
When not needed just turn the Bluetooth off VICTOR R Apr 09, 2018. Enter an answer You should use any device with 3ml auxiliary output (cable included) or RCA to connect the harman kardon bta 10 and use it as a bluetooh with a phone or tablet to communicate and listen to its speakers. The harman kardon bta 10 must always be connected to a power source. This question. HARRY RUIZ Mar 15, 2018 You need a receiver but it doesn't work that good CARL T Mar 15, 2018 It is necessary to connect this unit to a receiver or amplifier. It serves as a signal source to allow streaming. From your smartphone, but by itself provides no amplification.
Clockdoc Mar 15, 2018. I am not familiar with BSR speakers. I used my BTA on my amp to stream music into the amp and out the speakers. JAMES Feb 09, 2018 I have purchased two of these units and have been well served by them. I use them in each location to take a blue tooth audio signal into (separate) stereo receivers. The signal sources in respective locations are a Windows desktop computer (upstairs) and a Macbook Pro laptop downstairs. The unit stands alone but has a power cord with a small transformer, receives AC and operates on DC from the transformer.
Cables are provided with the unit. The audio out to the receivers is a ministereo jack at the unit and RCA left and right for the receiver end, probably six feet, perhaps a bit less. In each location, I decided in favor of the HK BTA-10 and against higher fidelity speakers for each computer, reasoning that I had already invested in good speaker quality for each receiver. Upstairs, all computer generated audio is heard through my bookshelf speakers; downstairs, likewise, all audio from the laptop goes through our Polk Audio floor-standing speakers. Do pay attention to the proximity of the device to the blue tooth source (closer is better), and do make sure your source, if a computer, is capable of generating a bluetooth signal.
My Macbook came with bluetooth installed, but with the older PC I had to obtain a USB plug in, but both of the HK units work well, and deliver stereo input to the receiver. Joe Feb 09, 2018 it will work. This is a great connector paul Feb 09, 2018. Not speakers. H/K BTA-10 might help your old Onkyo with Bluetooth devices. Juan Oct 09, 2017 Not sure of your exact set up but the harmon kardon will work through your old onkyo amp as long as you have rca inputs on the back of it.
I then assume this onkyo amp is hooked up to speakers throughout your house which I assumed are connected by wires to the onkyo since you said it was old. This would then allow you to play music via Bluetooth from your phone or like device through the onkyo into the speakers. Hope this answers your question - thanks.
Michael Oct 09, 2017. I bought this one because it was a good match for my receiver (older Sony). I am not familiar with those that only cost $20 JAMES Sep 15, 2017 I don't know if I can answer your question, but I have two of these devices, one for upstairs and one for downstairs, respectively, stereo receivers. Downstairs we connect to a Yamaha receiver I've had for years, getting true stereo for streamed music, radio and video from the (Apple laptop) computer.
Upstairs, I equipped a a Windows PC desktop with a $25 blue tooth adapter as that computer did not otherwise send a bluetooth signal, again using the HK blue tooth to take a stereo signal into a Panasonic receiver. Both the HK units have worked well, and as long as you are not pushing them to the end of their range of distance from the blue tooth signal source (not more than thirty feet), the HK units do just fine.
I don't know if less expensive units from other makers were available when I purchased (about six months apart), but the units have worked without a hitch and the sound quality is very good to excellent. Joe Sep 11, 2017. Sure you can pair any phone to anyone one at a time, you can even name them what you want in settings on your phone. ROCCO`S AUTO Aug 29, 2017 Yes, but your device connecting ( phone, Ipad etc,) will only connect to one at a time.
Matthew Aug 29, 2017 I'm using 2, and they show up on blue tooth as two wirel as items with the same name: HK BTA10. They are far apart enough that the BT connects to the correct one. Timothy Aug 29, 2017 If they were on separate tuners and they were out of range from each other otherwise no ROBERT G Aug 29, 2017. I have no idea if this will work. I plugged it into my Stereo System in my home and stream music from my phone throughout my home.
I thought the echo already did that though. Pete Jul 18, 2017 My HK BTA receives wireless signals from a Bluetooth device and sends the signals out via cable to an 'audio in' jack of my audio system, which sends them out the 'audio out' jack through wires to speakers. HK BTA does not appear capable of changing a signal from a projector 'audio out' jack into a wireless transmission to the Echo, which is what your application requires. Maybe Crutchfield has something for that. mary Jul 17, 2017 That scenario sounds like it would be opposite use of this product, it is designed to give you a Bluetooth input for non equipped stereos, you need a Bluetooth transmitter, this is a receiver. ROCCO`S AUTO Jul 17, 2017 I am not certain how you are setting this up but you will need an audio in jack for the BTA 10 to connect and act as the Bluetooth for the non-Bluetooth unit.
So if the echo doesn't have the audio in connection the BTA 10 is not going to work. Michael Jul 17, 2017. Theresa, I have not used this B/T device with headphones. I can tell you it works well with our Ipad streaming music well over 20 feet. I am very pleased with the performance. JAMES Feb 07, 2017 I have had good success with the BTA 10, which I use to play music and internet streaming radio from my ipad into my bedroom receiver/speakers.
The distance is probably just about 20 feet from ipad to the BTA 10, possibly a couple of feet less, and the volume level is compatible, although perhaps just a tad less than, what I get with the same receiver volume set when I play the receiver's radio or a cd player. I also have lots of 'headroom' to increase the receiver's volume setting, but for my purposes, so far, haven't yet needed to do that. Only quirk I've noticed is that when I back up the ipad, I have to re-pair the BTA 10 with the ipad, and on two occasions, I've had to unplug and replug in the BTA to enable the pairing to occur. Other than that quirk, I've been well satisfied with the unit, and just ordered a second one for my downstairs receiver/speakers, so I can play music and stream radio and online video to the downstairs speakers from a dedicated mac laptop, allowing me to dispense with a wire connection from the laptop to the auxiliary input on the receiver.
I hope that is helpful to your decision making. Joe Feb 06, 2017 It depends on the head phones, I would buy a wireless expander to help in the house.
BLAINE Feb 06, 2017. Hello, I guess by HQ you mean High Quality, The answer is no because of the nature of the bluetooth technology, a wifi device will give you a higher quality sound rather than bluetooth. The device work quite well though I have not complained about it. Jaime Jan 11, 2017 This is a good product for older devices that does not have blue tooth. I use it for streaming music from my smart phone to this device that hook directly to a receiver.
Tony Jan 10, 2017 Well im going to presume the HQ means high quality if so yes the streaming quality is exceptional however you will get best results if the streaming device is in the same room no more than about 10 feet. I have another friend that has the same device and no complaints I would recommend you give it a try I've had mines 3 years now.
DEVON Jan 10, 2017. I have a set of headphones paired in similar fashion. Edward Aug 29, 2018 i use this to connect my bluetooth phone music to my audio system which is goes through the analog source of my audio system. So i don't forsee any problems with connecting the tv source to your headphones via this bluetooth adapter. I believe the hk bta 10 also comes with the correct wires for a connection between the actually device and your tv but you may want to make sure in case you need to order a different set of cables. micah Dec 19, 2015.
This device uses Bluetooth. You will be able to send audio from your Macbook to to the A/V receiver with this using the built in Bluetooth on the computer. If you prefer to add AirPlay, then your best bet may be to get an AppleTV. This would allow you to quickly and easily add AirPlay to your existing system. You can find out more about the AppleTV here: Jeff Aug 31, 2015 Staff this works well without AirPlay. It has it's own Bluetooth address and works well with both Apple and Android devices. I play it thru my six input on Rotel equipment and sound is great!
