Bluetooth Audio Receiver With Aux Output Board

I needed a replacement CD player for my aging (and starting to fail) 5 Disc Carousel CD player that I purchased several decades ago.  After researching various models of similar build and price point I decided on the Tascam CD-200BT.  B&H Photo processed and shipped my order promptly.  After installation of this unit to my hi-fi system I can say the Tascam CD-200BT does not disappoint with its solid build quality and simplicity of operation. The audio playback performance of this unit, both in CD and Bluetooth operation, has been excellent in my evaluations so far.  The Bluetooth receiver pairs up effortlessly with the devices I have linked.  I particularly like that this unit can store in its memory up to 8 Bluetooth devices without having to redo the whole pairing process when switching back and forth with other Bluetooth devices that have been previously paired in the unit’s memory.  The fact that this model has a Bluetooth receiver was an added bonus for me as this saved the additional expense of adding a separate Bluetooth receiver to my hi-fi system that I was also planning to add.  By not needing a separate Bluetooth receiver this saves having to use another AUX input on one’s hi-fi system AND with the CD-200BT unit having its own AUX input as well this in essence adds an additional AUX input function available for one’s hi-fi system.  With Tascam’s reputation for professional grade audio products this unit should serve me well for some time.

the only gripe I have is the absence of a toslink audio output on the board.

I use the Aluratek ABC02F Universal Bluetooth Audio Receiver and Transmitter connected to the Optical Audio output on my Sony TV. It pairs with a set of Sony Bluetooth earbuds to provide a separate channel for audio for my aging ears while the TV's audio continues to function independently for the rest of the family. The optical connection to the TV was simple and the ABC02F paired quickly and easily to the Sony Earbuds. The ABC02F is plugged into a USB port on the TV and is always on so the earbuds are reconnected within the time it takes to remove them from their charger/case and insert them into the ear.

Needed a way to boost audio output from a mixing board going to a computer which we use to stream church services with. The 24c worked perfectly.

It was a simple install as we took an output from our mixer board to capture the audio to live stream our Church service using Open Broadcaster Studio. The funny thing is we had an echo that was only discovered by using this as the Church speakers did not. Plugging headphones into the mixer board confirmed the issue. Will add this to our go-box for on the go live streaming.

I have purchased 2 of these in past 3-4 years from B&H. Being passive output multiplier, it helps to get one output from Audio mixer board at the auditorium and have option to get multiple outputs. Awesome sound quality. Hats off to HENRY ENGINEERING

It does exactly what I need. I have a high end stereo receiver and speakers connected to my iMac computer analog audio output (headphone) jack. The receiver also is connected to several other analog audio sources. I have had persistent issues with hum in the audio from the computer. I tried all sorts of things, floating grounds, reversing plugs etc and nothing worked. putting the HE-18 in line with the computer completely eliminated the hum with no adverse side effects to the audio quality. I really appreciate the flexibility of all the various input and output connections. I now have a convenient extra port where I can plug in headphones for private listening when needed. (Unlike the idiots at Apple who put the headphone jack on the back of the iMac. What were they thinking?) The engineer who designed the HE18 deserves a lot of credit. He really did his homework.

this works great with my wireless lav receiver that combines 2 channels of audio into a stereo output. This cable isolates the two channels so I can record the channels separately into a recorder.

We wanted to extend our Stereo system to other parts of the house, and after some research, I settled on this BT device. I'm using the BTA30 on the zone 2 (RCA analog) output of an Onkyo TX-8555 receiver to transmit to bluetooth enabled speakers and sound bars around the house. Since the Onkyo does not have digital audio out, I used an analog to digital audio converter** to go from the RCA output on the receiver to the digital TOSLINK input on the BTA30. Setup was simple and straightforward, just remember that the BTA30 has a volume knob, so remember to turn it at least halfway - i had left it all the way down and was trouble shooting for several minutes until I noticed the knob position - turned it up and it worked! I am experiencing a wee bit of latency if I'm listening to the same music in both zones at the same time, but that's most likely because the speakers I'm transmitting to are not APTX capable. In all, it's not that big of an issue, just something to be aware of. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with the BTA30 - and the B&H shopping and shipping experience is second to none! **If you don't have a digital output available, you will need an analog to digital audio converter that accepts RCA audio inputs and digital TOSLINK output. You could use the BH #GEATVDA to accomplish this.

SONY made a very nice 4K UHD Blu-ray player with the UBP-X700 /M. It even makes old DVDs look and sound great. I did have a little issue getting it set-up properly. Intial set-up was a breeze including logging into my home Wi-Fi, which is nice, because it can be set-up to automatically update its software / firmware, which it did during the set-up process. My issue was totally on me as I had 4K HDMI cables from the player's Audio Only output port connected to the CD HDMI 4K input port on the receiver and the player's Video / Audio output port connected to my receiver's HDMI 4K Blu-ray input port. When I played a recently purchase DVD, I saw the video, but did not hear sound, nor did I hear any sound when playing a CD. SONY Tech Support asked me to plug the player directly into the TV - It worked, both video and audio! Tech Support then had me unplug the Audio Only player output port cable so that I only had the player's Video / Audio player output port connected to the receiver's HDMI 4K Blu-ray input port - It worked, both Video and Audio. I don't know if it was the player or the receiver that got confused with my simultaneously connected cables, but it's ostensibly a mutually exclusive (either/or) proposition. My experience might just help with someone else's connection process. I consider my purchase of this player to beat good one. BTW - SONY Tech Support was superb, patient, helpful, and understanding.
