Bluetooth Low Energy Receiver System Design

This receiver has revitalized my 1980s stereo system by allowing Bluetooth transfer from my Sony Walkman (CD quality) and from an iPhone. When powered the receiver goes into pairing mode--your device remembers this receiver...you are connected. So far there has been no problem with connection or distance from the receiver. As this is my second unit (first attached to another stereo system) I only wish I could rename the unit as it comes up with the same name...only to be identified by the Bluetooth address. If you only have one of these, this will not be an issue. Attachment is simple: connect using RCA supplied cord to your receiver aux input. Having it on a switched plug on the receiver is very convenient. If not, you would have to push the light button to switch it into on mode. It has an auto off after a few minutes of not receiving a signal. It also has an optical connection.

Very good Bluetooth receiver.

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.

We needed a basic Bluetooth receiver for an old (20+ years old) stereo system, and this works perfectly. It was very easy to set up, and it takes up very little room. Definitely recommend it.

I used this box to interface an on-stage Bluetooth audio receiver to the sound system at a week-long conference. It worked great and didn't have any issues!

I have (2) Fives. I like the ability to "line in" and then share that signal throughout the system. You can even "line in" a Bluetooth receiver or use a "y" cable to share between Bluetooth and the signal from a TV, for example.

Very nice design and increases energy efficiency.

Great sounding receiver ....AWESOME with my Bluetooth

I bought this receiver for the Bluetooth connectivity. I am now able to play my iTunes songs from the iTunes cloud through my iPhone and the new Receiver to our inside and / or outside speakers - all from my lounge chair. I am handicapped, so this is of great help to me.

Good: Excelent sound Low probablity of feedback Bad: Low battery of the receiver
