Those designers were really thinking when they put those small amp power outlets on the back. Clever people back then! Awesome video, thanks!
I'm glad that you went step by step instead of a sped up version like most are and you are left missing information
I have AVR2000...love it...had it for years...I never turn it off...only on moving day. Never had a problem...but, I bought it back in the '90s...QUALITY!
Love the older equipment 70 80s that stuff is rock solid. And them old school speakers, hitting hard.
I Agree With You Mate!
This worked great on an older Pioneer from the 70's which I love to use. We could never afford one back then and now to stream to it is a joy. Thank you for spreading your knowledge. You have a very easy to understand of teaching as well
Thank you again !
Thank you.
I connected my bluetooth first to a Pioneer graphic equalizer and this one to my vintage audio receiver Pioneer SX-1080, with 4 big tower speakers. The resulting sound from my cellphone in spotify music is awsome.
I had never heard anyone call them a wall wart. Thank you for that gift.
Been there, done that. For those feeling technical it’s nice to integrate a Bluetooth module into something so it’s all internal. I have done a few items like this including a neat little technics shelf system.
One of my first installations I mounted the BT module in the Stereo. Worked well but I had poor range. I took the module out and mounted it on top of my receiver.. Much better range (just a few feet, but no more cutting out when I move from room to room)
Thanks for your comment....BB23
Wow did exactly what you instructed per your video now I have music in my garage. Thanks! I'm like you I have an old Pioneer with some old ADS speaker (that i just love) and now I can Bluetooth music to it. Thanks again love your video! Jake.
I have a old 85 Pioneer receiver with hard wired Bose 101 outdoor speakers. I can`t wait to do this and thanks so much !
Thank you for this info! Very useful
And the highlight of this video was you mentioning x-96 (listened since they began in mid 90s when. I was in jr.high) but I actually yelled out "hell ya!" Been missing X-96, SLC and even Washington. So thank you for making a music buff day on many many levels!
WOW! Nice to hear I made your day. I moved back to SLC last year and found that X96 has sure changed, I found cousin Brad and the crew on 103.1 The Wave, they are playing some killer tunes. This video is a bit dated and you may want to check out this one. Bluetooth has come a long way. czcams.com/video/8AjZPbF8W24/video.html
Thanks for the kind words... Cheers my friend.
Awesome! I never knew about these devices and to hook it up like that is so easy. I'm definitely going to do this to my workshop stereo, great video sir
It figures, the JL MBT is out of stock, just like my luck, always out of stock. you got me excited over this, I want to get back into home audio again.
Wish I found this video before buying a new receiver.Thanks for the video
hey saw your video last week,went on line and bought MBT-RX JL AUDIO.

Just found 2 old school Sony home stereos that my wife's dad had and wasn't even on here looking to see if I could hook my phone to them and this video popped up. Crazy but sweet
These units are great. If you have an older hot tub with a stereo. Make it Bluetooth you’ll love it.
Great video. I have and Orion reciver 400eatts and that thing beats any "modern" stereo.
I did something almost identical to this with my antique (1967) Magnavox console stereo. However, my setup adds a stage to address an irritating problem I have with many portable devices - a noticeably weaker audio signal when compared to other audio sources, like a tape deck, CD player, tuner, or record player. To deal with this, I've added a TEC TC780-LC line level booster between the Bluetooth module and the AUX (tape-in) connections of the stereo. Both the Bluetooth receiver and thd line booster are powered from a switched AC outlet I wired in. Not the most elegant solution, but both the BT receiver and the line booster are installed on the back panel of the stereo, hidden from view but easily accessible. There are no permanent modifications; the external hardware can be removed and the internal modifications can be reversed easily, all in less than an hour.
Yes I had a low pre out when using a few of the BT units. On My Marantz I use one of my ART pre-amps. to boost up the HK unit Iam using. Great comment.
Used a head phone lead connected Bluetooth Unit. Works well and simple setup to headphones.
…....great stuff !!!!! I absolutely love all the ‘old school’ stuff ❤️ Been watching a few of your videos recently & was that chuffed with them I just had to subscribe & hit the bell for alerts when you post more stuff. Keep up the thoroughly decent work fella 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Very nice of you to say and thank you so much for your support... Cheers
Thank you for this! Really looking forward to upgrading! And and extra thank you for suggesting using the spare phone as a TuneIn Radio command center. Doing this immediately. Best...D
I recently purchased an Ifi Zen blue, blue tooth DAC for $129 , not as cheap as the unit you are talking about. If you are concerned with sound Quality this unit is a good choice. Gives you all the bluetooth codecs and get really good quality sound 32 bit 96khz . And I use the same Samsung Galaxy S7. Sound detailed without all this wiring hassle.
Yes, that is another way to bluetooth. Cheers.
Great clear info thanks for making the video . I have a few 12 volt adapter's spare . I will look up the model you use , am also considering the Pure receiver as it has 24 bit capability. I like the radio much more these days myself and the internet has many stations .
I jus pulled out my ‘71 Sansui G-5700 receiver that I would love to make bluetooth. After a lil cleaning and lubing it Still sounds like new! I will employ your technique asap and report! I recently bought a gadget to make my HD TV bluetooth. It actually works two bluetooth headphones simultaneously. And, the sound is crisp, but it’s not in stereo! Hopefully your technique will accomplish that for my classic receiver as well as for my 10+ yrs Sony STR-DE197.
Nice I’m into the old receivers myself I’m Definitely going to Bluetooth mines as well thanks for the video keep up the good work
Cool, thanks, have you checked out any of my newer BT videos?
Yay, you answered all my questions. Great video, Thank you.
Nice video I've been thinking about doing this with an old receiver and Bose 601 speakers that I have in storage, now I see it done so thanks. I can hear my stero now, "I'm backkkk" lol.
Go back through my Everything Bluetooth Playlist, you will find some up to date Bluetooth receivers..
Rock on!
Cool vid. Thanks. You took the time to explain everything involved in the process
Your welcome
awesome and so simple . thanks so much for the video👍
Just the thing I been looking for thanks
I just use those portable rechargeable bluetooth transmitters/receivers and I love them you can take them anywhere and don't need to connect any wires the one I use is by Tio Tronics or something like that, and it's great I just use the aux out to rca.
If you are using the 3.5 mm headphone jack you are not getting proper signal impedance, you will get audio but not clean signal as compared to a real RCA line level.
Bonus points for X-96! Todd Nukem is a really cool guy. He comes into my shop on a regular basis. I'm going to have to rig this up on my receiver. Thanks!
Been an X96 listener since 81(KCGL/seagull Provo?) when they were only on at night. Now I live in NW Washington, so I use TuneIn to "tune in".
Here is a short tape of X96 when they went part time for a while..czcams.com/video/ZAeH9KW7TwQ/video.html
Great comment. Now Im home sick :)
Great video. Good Tutorial by the way. You said that You're home now sick. I hope you are feeling better and get back fully recover to your daily activities.
I am sick at home, real bad cold.. But I meant home sic for SLC. Born and raised in Sugar House (Parleys Way) ..
Geez I need to lay off the NyQuil.
@@breakerbroke23 Get feeling better! I was pretty close to there on 17th & 17th. What a great neighborhood. I'm in Kaysville now. It's a bit too conservative for me, but close to work.
I lived next to Blue Cross Blue Shield building and 2 buddy's of mine lived within a block of Shop and Go.. hahaha. Small World, take care.
Nice detailed setup video, BTW, I have the exact same Denon and Ir's been bulletproof for me.
When we moved from Washington state to Utah, I sold and donated alot of my audio collection, I gave away ALL of my AV receivers except this Denon, when I sold AV gear during the 90s I liked the sound of Denon more than the other brands we sold. ( for 2ch stereo). Thanks for your comment..... BB23
Usually I will put the blue tooth leads on cd/dvd/or anything with a high-end processing. Phono and tape just don't seem to sound that good especially when you have audio file grade equipment and you can hear the difference.
i need to do something similar with my Denon 1803, i wonder if there is now finished more compact products with those results.
Thank you for the video :) Made me look to the back of my AV. had a couple power outlets so I can connect an old phone adapter to a Bluetooth receiver with usb :)
Good job.. Rock on. BB23
I got the Logitech one, works freakin awesome!
Except it over powers any other Bluetooth device near by I have to unplug it to use my headphones
I'm assuming you soldered together the two leads of a 75 ohm coax transformer and are some how using it as an antenna or what is it exactly you're doing there ?
I was watching this upload as I really want to bluetooth one of my old amps and by chance got interupted at 13.48, just got back to you tube and if you look:-) I wondered what the hell I had been watching!! even my 87 yr old mum laughed:-))
Great video sir, helped me alot :) i`m a big user and fan of the old seperates myself, there`s just no better sounding hi-fi, especially for us dinosaurs still listening to vinyl!
Haha,true that my friend.... Cheers
Great vid. I have a lot of the same era equipment. Adcom, NAD, B&O, Nakamichi, Denon, Advent, Snell, etc. Kids these days don't know what they are missing.
Right on
I have a Yamaha hook up to big technics speakers
Got Bluetooth USB adapter off eBay works great with rca cables
Thank you very much Sir.I have a kenwood av reciever.Hope to try your method.
Thanks for watching, here is a link to a more modern and simplified way to BT you Kenwood.

thanks so very much im going to do it now,,greetings from Netherlands
I still love my Sony stereo receiver even if it's getting old. It looks like in the long run I would go with the Harman Kardon since I have a lot of USB 5-volt supplies.
Esto es fenomenal felicitaciones
@@alfredoenriqueecheverria2146 Translate
Excellent tutorial. Very well explained. Thank you...
I like your video, but a chest mounted phone clip my be cool for the way you move around your bench. Keep em coming!
I know I’m a bastard and I’ll tease you about shit but I still like your video, it taught me some things.
I got a vintage Technics stereo receiver and I love the sound and old school features but all my music is on my phone atm.
Thanks for the video bud!
Excellent video very helpful thanks
I'm curious - I have my entire music collection on my iMac computer. Is there a way I can connect the bluetooth in iMac to connect to a device connected to my AV/Amp using a bluetooth receiver?
It would seem to me you should be able to connect to the AV/Bluetooth device just like it was a set of BT headphones as far as the AV/Receiver was concerned.
I still have Cambridge Soundworks stuff it is great and made like a rock.
Great idea. Thanks!
I have one of those crosley stereos that came with bluetooth. I hooked up my sony mp3 walkman to it and it paired fine. The problem is the volume control on my mp3 will not work on this stereo. I can select and play songs without a problem but no volume. I have to use the stereo itself for volume. The stereo has an aux setting and red and white rca connections in the back. My question is...will I have better luck using a bluetooth transmitter rather than the bluetooth that came with the stereo? Will it be a stronger signal in some way?
nice im working on my pioneer elite...thanks totally cool
very good video breakerbroke23, I'll be using this setup for my old Pioneer and Kenwood units.
Good going "Ace". Thanks for watching....BB23
Yo great vid man love the way u talk
I love the video and I love old school Denon
Thanks for this video. I have some old KEF speakers and Yamaha receiver and I was going to give them away because I didn’t think I could connect with my new Samsung tv. Now I’ll just use your hack and skip buying a new sound bar. :)
I would not use BT for what you want to do. IMO, I would take audio from your tv, and plug into an AUX or Tape input to your receiver.
You will need a 3.5nn to RCA cord to do this. Plug the mini 3.5 jack to your tv's audio output and plug the male RCA's into a AUX or Tape in. Doing it this way will give you MUCH better audio..... BB23
Like This..www.samsung.com/in/support/tv-audio-video/how-to-connect-audio-output-cable-in-samsung-smart-tv/
Use a Cable like this... amzn.to/2nJBJAw
WOW thanks for the help and it should be much easier.
So I hooked up my system like you said but I do not have volume control on my TV remote. If I used BT would I gain volume control on my TV remote?
Check the manual for the TV, Do you have an audio output that can be controlled.
Im going to try to do what you are trying to do in the morning on my new LG 65". Both BT and audio out to my receiver.
What is a wall wort
Can I direct tv audio to Denon aux and bluetooth listen to tv on my stereo speakers? That would be great! Thanks.
Thanks for the video
Great video excellent demonstration I want to go to the opposite direction I have a pair of blue tooth capable hearing aids and I would like to be able to send the audio from my receiver like you're done on until I would like to send that over bluetooth to my bluetooth hearing aids the question is can that done please advise
Hello,
Try this .. czcams.com/video/H0uL3kbLXz0/video.html
Awesome thank you for the idea.
Thanks a lot for your video appreciate it
What about output to a bluetooth speaker for surround sound?
good information thank you
Great to look at your video!
I live in PA!)
We just moved out of Port Angeles (PA)
Thanks for watching.
Ty for this very cool
JLAudio states the current draw on this unit is: 20 mA (at idle) / 32 mA (at full output)
Thanks.
Thank you you just saved me $100!
Was just wondering how I could run up Wi-Fi through my stereo for my TV looks like I got her done now thanks I'm an old-timer to but I like the new stuff :-)
I know it's an old video but greetings from Sequim none the less!
I sure do miss Sequim, I lived on 101 between Sequim and PA.
Cheers
Pretty cool, thanks for posting
nice and very interesting !!! very cool !!! thankyou
That's 12v adapt can plus in the wall input ?
Thank you, Jack Black!
Hey bro that is pretty cool 😎👍 thanks for your video 👍
That’s hella cool bro 👍👍👍
You sir have the knowledge that will let you thrive in a zombie apocalypse. LOL. Thank you so much for your videos. My component system is from the seventies that I got brand new back then and now I can stream to it. I think most people will never know what the smell of a tube system warming up is like. LOL!
Thanks for your kind words. Check out this better system, Bluetooth gets better over the years. Here is the best way to go if you want the best sound . This stuff is always changing.czcams.com/video/7558yMhj12k/video.html
good idea to be updated
Very nice video, I will try this soon and let you know the results.
Please do!
this is old school style its cool with old radios. you can get the ones for card now that use usb power newer stearo's have usb and input jack.
True that..
Nice!!! Thanks!!!! Kansas!!!!
Cool I didn't know you could do that but I do now. So I'll be looking for that piece and the 12 volt cord. Thank you
I find them at goodwill, I look for actiontec AC adapters used for modems. They are built to have a heavy strain put on them. The bluetooth units are very low strain and so the AC adapter will darn near last forever.
Bro just search Logitech Bluetooth audio receiver its twenty pound
Good video. I am glad JL came out with their own. I love JL. I have a 67 Impala and I am totally revamping the Audio system. I am running 4 amps (about a dozen speakers) NO HEAD UNIT. I am custom fab'ing a tablet into the dash and will Bluetooth all the audio from the tablet to the amps. I don't listen to FM. Like you, I am a talk radio nut. I only listen to one talk radio. The Ticket in Dallas. You should check it out. I hate radio stations on FM. No one should listen the them anymore unless you listen to talk radio. The Ticket had their own app so I will just listen to them on their app (SportDay Talk w/1310TheTIcket < you should check them out). I personally use CZcams Music and whatever that doesn't have, Amazon prime music does. The tablet will act as a streaming music/talk radio apps, video if I want to, AND since I will be using a Samsung tablet, it will have bad ass google maps app instead of crappy head unit GPS. Not to mention tablet screens are so much bigger, clearer, smoother touch screen, and simpler to wire up than a head unit. Head unit might have about a dozens wires where as a tablet is literally a power wire that will always be plugged in. the audio will be Bluetooth so no need to jack with that. Thanks for this simple video. Thumbs up!
Cool system, and good info, you should do some videos on your Pala build. I will check out your Dallas station, Thanks for watching and don't forget to subscribe...BB23
very cool, I use the gear best unit brand
very cool thanks.
Thanks!
WOW THIS WAS GREAT.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Forget brand, get one that has APTx (BT 4.2 or higher). Playback device must ALSO support APTx . Next up in quality is APTx HD. The Sound quality increase is immense. Almost acceptable for an Audiophile!
Good 🎥 atlease..i can make my own soun system. .thank you
Great vid! If I do can I just plug in the 12v brick into the wall
good job thanks
I may try this with a dac that has rca inputs
Thx for the info and I subscribed 😎
Thank you.
Thank You!
Thanks 👍
great stuff. could a person add a bluetooth range extender like the miccus rtx 2.0 to this setup? Also...in an outdoor setting, how far would the range be with and without a range extender.thanks
Yes the RTX would be a good choice for the long range you want. Guaranteed range through wall etc ? NO. Every home is different because of walls wiring and so on. Still worth a try.
Real easy to hook up, basically the same way as in this video except the AC adapter plugs in the unit and makes a simpler install.
Cheers.
Thanks so much for this. I have a Fisher model 125 stereo made in 1968 and now I have an easy way to add blue tooth to it.
I have a 64 Fisher 500c That still works. Thanks for watching.....BB23
I have an old Sony reciever with surround sound. I see you selected the Karmon as the best selection for adding bluetooth. Does this come with the AC or do I have to add the 12v as you described in the video. I am searching for the best way to add bluetooth without buying new systems. The two I have work great but as you said I've completely moved from cassette and cds. There are a few of each still around in attic but the players are gone. Thank you for the video and explanation.
I actually watched another of your video and ordered the transmitter and reciever to add. Thanks for the info
The best one is a Phillips unit that has optical out, APTx, and a nice DAC. It costs 30 bucs. I did it years ago. Cheers
cool, thanks.
