I am looking to upgrade my audio system receiver to full theater capability. I currently have Dolby-Pro Logic which is decent but it is a manufactured center and rear channel sound from actual 2 channel. I am looking at a Yamaha (5.1) and a Denon (5.2), both $279, a nice price point. Both advertise BLUETOOTH. What does BLUETOOTH do for an audio system? (I thought it was just for talking on a cell phone?) Edited by Trotsky, Nov 28 2015, 03:59 AM.

You can stream music to your receiver from a bluetooth capable device like a tablet or cellphone etc. There are all sorts of bluetooth speakers these days, no wires required. |

I have a blue-ray DVD player that is bluetooth capable. It can stream anything from my Internet Router to my TV including music, movies etc. |

Blue tooth can be used to transmit electrical signals from place to place. I use it mostly in my car. I have music stored on my cell phone and can play it via blue-tooth to my car radio. The fidelity is excellent. I have a set of speakers in my living room. The bass reflex speaker is fed from the speaker bar via blue tooth. Don't confuse blue tooth with blue ray! Blue ray is a laser beam for reading DVDs. |

So then the main advantage would be to route any music I have recorded on a hand held device to the Receiver and play through the theater system? We have no handheld devices, we are the last in the City without them, so the receiver capability seems a useless frill for us. (Like the 4K pass-through capability.) What MIGHT be useful, if it exists, would be a Bluetooth USB plug-in doojiggy to send a wireless signal from the desktop computer to the receiver so that online programming could be routed to the TV without an ugly green Ethernet cable snaking across the wall.

I do this to feed speakers in my kitchen. No cable loss's or interference to worry about! And no wiring to trip over! |
