Q: Questioncan I hook this up to my Home stereo amplifier to play music that is on my iPhone?

Asked 2 years ago by Redcat.

• A:Answer Yes. This is a Bluetooth receiver so it will pair to your phone, tablet, or computer. The audio cable needs to come from the Aluratek and go into an INPUT on the back of your stereo. That should do it.

Q: QuestionCan i plug this device directly into my ipad using the coverter dongle. The connect my air pods and my bose headsets (both Wireless) to the adapter so that i can have two headsets listening to the movie at the same time?

Asked 6 years ago by lazydizle.

• A:Answer Yes to the iPad headphone port but no to using multiple headsets. You can buy an adaptor that will have a !/4" male to 2 1/4" female ports so you can go old school earbuds for both of you to listen to the same movie. That's what my wife and I do on flights to watch a movie...unless it's a chick flick then....well you know the rest of the answer!! :-)
