QuestionWe have a Vizio smart tv that does not have bluetooth. We want to improve the sound with a wireless speaker. Can this device be plugged into the tv and then paired with a speaker?
Asked 7 years ago by LJS45.
- Answer I have an Avantree bluetooth transmitter. It's plugged into my Sony TV, but it would work as easily with a Vizio TV. I have a Vizio TV also, and it has similar sound outputs. My transmitter broadcasts to Bluetooth headphones, which is just a variety of speaker. Your bluetooth speaker is a receiver, and it should work. (My my receiver/transmitter is a different brand, but the principle is the same.) The reason I chose Avantree is it supports aptx, which is a low latency approach. I can watch TV without the sound being out of sync. I don't know anything about Aluratek, but I recommend you get something that's low latency.

QuestionCan 2 people watch tv at the same time—one using Bluetooth headphones (hard of hearing) and the other listening through the built in tv speaker? In other words, if I plug in this device, will it cut the sound output through the tv speakers?
Asked 7 years ago by Watchman.
- Answer Yes.. You can hear the sound still coming thru your TV speakers and also with your BT headsets. If it is only you listening then turn the sound for your TV down. It not it will work both ways at the same time. I have had Aluratek transmitters for years and just upgrades to the new ABC53F because of my new smart TV.

Question*1.) Does this device come with a transmitter and a receiver? 2.) Will this device transmit from the RCA jack subwoofer output of my receiver to the RCA jack input of a powered (SONY) Subwoofer. Range is less than 25 feet.
Asked 7 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer It is a single device that does either transmit or receive, but not at the same time. There is a switch on it that determines what mode it is in. You would need 2 of them to do what you are inquiring about, HOWEVER: there will be a noticeable delay when the signal is transmitted from your receiver to your subwoofer causing the subwoofer to be out of sync with the rest of your speakers. I would not recommend it for this purpose.

QuestionI want to run an optical cable (that converts optical signal to a 3.5 jack) to a bluetooth transmitter like this, then pair this transmitter with a bluetooth speaker. I cant get it to auto pair with ANY BT speaker. Iphone yes, speakers no.
Asked 7 years ago by NoTvForMe.
- Answer I have paired this device with my 2 bose BT headsets. If you have a smart tv - go to settings - sound - look for expert or advance setting - now look for Digital Output Audio Format - find selection PCM.. this will make it work with you head sets.
