[@sallyj632]

Thank you! My projector has bluetooth, but of course it doesn't work no matter what. My Bose soundbar connects to all my other Bluetooth devices, but not the projector Bluetooth. So I tried this using a TaoTronics brand Bluetooth transmitter/receiver and boom, my Bose Soundbar connected within seconds! Works great!

Thanks for the video, does the job indeed. Anyone can help however with the following two challenges I have please: 1. I have connected my BenQ projector to a Bose soundbar 300 and the sound is interrupted every couple of seconds. 2. Same configuration + tried on a different Bose MiniSoundLink and I get static noise. Probably something with the grounding as the problem doesn’t occur when I use my Bluetooth transmitter on a different device. Thanks all!

[@aalijustmay]

I’ve been having this challenge the last few months. I have a benq projector as well and have searching for a solution to connect it to my sound bar without the clutter of wiring. 😥

[@JPatoStar]

Simple device and pretty cheap I have to say, it’s good for portable projectors and stuff like that. Just keep in mind that this is a transmitter making an impression of a Bluetooth Tv/Projector so the quality might stutter depending on the device connected or other qualities but overall 8/10 if you don’t mind like 0.5 audio delay stings from time to time but barley notice it

[@CandidTechTV]

Good points!

[@Netozappa1]

Great video! I have my projector in the ceiling, so I can't turn the BT on and off easily. Do i need to turn it on every single time I want to use my projector? Thanks!

Is it possible to just hook-up the micro-usb standard? So you won't have to charge it separately?

[@CandidTechTV]

Hey yeah I didn't mention that but you can hook it up to USB port on the projector and just leave it plugged in! The device will be charged anytime the projector is turned on (mine didn't charge in standby).

[@user-tm4my4jb6d]

Can multiple people connect to the audio at the same time?

[@victorceniceros198]

Can I plug it in ear phone jack in older stereo

[@CandidTechTV]

Yes, you can put it in transmit mode and then you can send the signal wirelessly and hook up Bluetooth devices to it if it's an audio out/headphone jack

[@annaartemis]

thanks - exactly what I was looking for

[@xxwhitelightingxxful]

So this helped a lot. I everything set up and connected but my sound bar only plays out of 1 side. I know it is not the sound bar because my phone connects and it works from both sides. Was wondering if anyone has a solution

[@999wali]

Can you connect multiple headphones or only one?

[@omegafire6253]

I just bought two of these. If only i had this when doing my Halloween set up. I generally had the projector set up in my room facing to my window to view from outside but had my speakers tethered to projector with limited range that the audio came from in room where i needed speakers to be outside for louder clear audio. This year I'll be ready.

[@CandidTechTV]

Awesome, yeah you'll be set!

[@halperinl324]

Can this pair with multiple sets of earbuds simultaneously? We need to connect multiple pairs of earbuds (up to 6 sets, for 6 viewers), as we're not allowed to use a speaker in our neighborhood.

[@patricklaine9469]

I want to transmit audio from a projector to a soundbar. Do I have to do the manual pairing every time when the devices turned on?

[@CandidTechTV]

Since it's BT 5.0, you should be able to just turn on the transmitter and as long as you didn't have the soundbar hooked up to anything else they will pair back together

Great Video. I hooked up perfectly...cheap projector paired to my good Bluetooth speakers easy. Only problem I see is even with my projector on max volume and not loud enough for outdoor movie. (I use my Bluetooth speakers with pc which has volume control , so I know they are plenty loud controlled by volume on PC. How can I get more volume on this set up VCR to Projector, Projector to Bluetooth speaker via a Bluetooth adapter? My speakers do not have volume control, vcr volume is turned up as high as it goes, projector volume is turned up as high as it goes.

[@carbern1]

Can I plug this connector into the headphones jack? There’s no aux jack in my projector.

[@CandidTechTV]

Yep!

[@jwallace7230]

Yes, they're both the same thing. AUX in and out just means audio in or out of the device, if it doesn't have a port labeled AUX IN/OUT, you should still have a headphone icon which is your AUX audio out of the device.

[@mamba82481]

my projector only has outlets for a headphone or AV. Can any of these be used as an "aux"? Thanks for the video

[@CandidTechTV]

No problem. Yep, the headphone jack will accept the aux cable!

[@coordinatestoheaven]

are the any latencies between the picture and the sound? looking to buy one for projector

[@CandidTechTV]

I found that when I'm using it with another Bluetooth 5.0 device, I haven't had latency. If your device is only Bluetooth 4.0 however there may be some latency.

[@madbrawler4398]

But i got some question,can i use two of these BT adapter to two no BT device? Like my projector with no Bluetooth to connect on my home theater with also no Bluetooth..will they connect?if yes ..How & what to do..thank u n more power🙏🏻

[@CandidTechTV]

Hey yes, so if you hook one up to the projector (and switch it to TX mode) and plug the other into your speakers (switch that one to RX mode) when you turn them on one right after the other, they should go into pairing mode and automatically connect with each other.

[@madbrawler4398]

Candid Tech TV cool 👍 so what i need to do now is to order one more iteknic BT for my home theater😅.. your awesome thanks man🙏🏻

[@keithm1468]

Will the 5.0 version be capable for ARC/ ATMOS, and loose some data/channels?

[@pacers1755]

Great review! One question I have is can you pair multiple devices to it? Say I have two Bluetooth speakers and want to create more of a surround sound effect. Would I be able to do that or do you have a different device to recommend? I just got a BenQ TK850 and realized it doesn’t have Bluetooth :/

[@yahmsuniga3875]

Does this only works for audio? How about for videos to bluetooth phone to projector?

[@CandidTechTV]

Yes this is for audio only. You can use an MHL cable for a physical connection with your phone or some of the projectors will support AirPlay or casting through Android. A lot of mobile apps are not allowed to stream through the phone though due to copyright issues. The easiest thing is honestly getting a Fire Stick, Roku stick, etc.

[@deonteglass1740]

Would you have to pair this manually every time you turn the projector on? Or would it automatically connect as soon as you turn the Bluetooth and speakers on?

[@CandidTechTV]

It will remember the device and automatically connect again.

[@noelbu]

Hello, if I do this, can I still connect to my phone/laptop through usb or bluetooth?

[@CandidTechTV]

Bluetooth is for audio only. You would need a special cable for your phone but most streaming apps will still be blocked due to copyright laws. The best route is just hooking up a Roku, Fire Stick, etc for easy streaming.

[@erwins.7007]

I recently purchased a auking projector from amazon. I was wondering how to connect a surround sound system will this Bluetooth device work?

[@CandidTechTV]

It should. Does your surround system have BT built in? If so, you just pair this connected to the projector with it and it will transmit. You'd have it set to "TX" mode in that scenario.

[@kazirahman365]

Is it possible to connect the projector to the sound bar using this device. There isn’t anyway to search for bluetooth on the soundbar

[@CandidTechTV]

Is your sound bar already bluetooth or are you trying to make it bluetooth?

[@LexiSingsWithWolves]

I hope your still here, I have a projector the headphone symbol, is that like an audio output? Can I plug a Bluetooth connector to that? My projector only has av output and headphone symbol output

[@jyotindrak47]

Hi can you connect your android cell phone to the projector to view youtube and other stuff, using this transmitter?

[@sekoukasimu7247]

So, am I to understand that this method will not work on my Epson projector, which doesn't have an Aux port, but has the red, yellow, and white cables connections for audio output?

[@CandidTechTV]

Some models only have audio out, but as long as it is audio in, then it should work with this.

[@jerrypolete5258]

I would like to connect the protector to my truck stereo, will that work?

[@CandidTechTV]

If your stereo has bluetooth, you would theoretically put it in pairing mode and at the same time put your transmitter in pairing mode and they would find each other and should pair.

[@jennifervanvlerah5535]

can you use this to pair with a bluetooth receiver hardwired to speakers?

[@surfthenetful]

Hi, If I use this will I still need to use miracast dongle too to connect my phone, projector and my Bluetooth speaker?

[@CoroaEntertainment]

Must use the Bluetooth 5.0 aptX version to help limit any audio latency issues (like the older versions of 4.0 and lower can suffer from).

[@CandidTechTV]

Yep I like the iTeknic ones I found because they are BT 5.0 and gave me no lag

[@maxQ08]

Does work even when you are using HDMI from a tablet to a projector? It seems that the audio doesn’t work using HDMI

[@CandidTechTV]

Hmm, it should work as HDMI transmits both audio and picture normally... is it an Android tablet or an iPad?

Can you please comment where is the issue in my case ?

[@johndakota1165]

Would this work with a receiver?

[@CandidTechTV]

Hey, yes this should. Just set it up in the receive mode and hook it up to an AUX or RCA input and you should be good to go to play on that input!

[@welcomehome777]

Will this connect to a firestck?

[@CandidTechTV]

I don't have one, but I've been told that the firestick has built-in bluetooth and you might be able to hook up speakers to your firestick and get audio out that way from your projector

[@jesserosales3317]

Can i put that on my projector and connect it with my bluetooth sound bar?

Yes you should be able to put both in pairing mode and have them connect

Can I bluetooth two speakers to that one transmitter. Or I have to buy two of them. They the same bluetooth speaker.

[@lorapetr.331]

Can i use that to connect my projector with my iphone/ipad via bluetooth?

[@CandidTechTV]

This aux port is just for sound leaving the projector. So you would be streaming the sound basically to speakers from there.

[@miafrench9688]

Very good, the fan is kinda loud but everything else is great!

[@timeyles8841]

What if my projector doesn't have the mic inport/aux port - how can i use this? I have an Epson 660 projector.

[@CandidTechTV]

Hey, so this transmitter model I linked comes with an included rca adapter converter cable so you can use that to hook up to your ports on the back of that model (the red and white jacks). So you should be good to go 👍

[@michaelluciapao5660]

Hello there..i’m planning to buy 2 of this device, 1 for my projector as transmitter and the other for my receiver. My question is: will the sound also come out in 5.1 or 7.1??

[@Lilia8457]

My projector has both left and right audio ports. Can I use this device in only one of the audio ports and not the other? Or do I need an adapter? Thanks

[@CandidTechTV]

As long as it is truly audio out and not for input, there is an RCA adapter usually included with these as well to go from L and R to 3.5 mm

[@vikasthakur534]

Hi plz tell will this device work witj samsung c450 soundbar too? My projector keep on disconnecting samsung sound bar and they replied me that it does not support the dolby feature . Plz help will this device resolve the issue ? Thanks

[@CandidTechTV]

Can you try changing the sound settings first from whatever you're streaming from to see if that fixes your issue? Try to change it from Dolby to something else. Otherwise, I'm not sure if this would solve the issue or not for you.

[@mohantyom1975]

Hi Cadid I have Toshiba ET20 home cinema projector my speaker is not loud enough i want to convert to Bluetooth can i do this? Then how ?? . I have Aux in as the projector is provided with Coax IN and Coax OUT how to convert to this Bluetooth projector and i want to listen sound in external Bluetooth speaker Please guide

[@CandidTechTV]

Hey there! So if you have an AUX in on your projector, you would just use one of these transmitters that way and set it to transmit mode and pair it with a Bluetooth speaker. Put both in pairing mode and they will connect. If your speakers AREN’T Bluetooth, you can use another transmitter on receiver mode if needed and just pair those together (put them both in pairing mode and they’ll find each other)

[@JPatoStar]

Small question/problem how do resolve having to pair it each time I wanna use it like I have Bose soundbar and my device keeps saying it found it (blinking blue light) but my Bose has no reaction or sign that it’s paired at all and my device is now stuck in a loop hole of failed to connect or “already connected”

[@grassisgreen1oh4]

Would this be able to connect to my car’s Bluetooth. So I can use the sound system in my car for the audio

[@CandidTechTV]

Hey, yes it should work. You would just put the transmitter to "TX" mode and in then into pairing mode and select the transmitter when it comes up on your car interface (assuming you have a screen) and they should pair together

[@jacobmayiani6890]

My biggest concern is figuring away of turning my cable projector into a blue tooth one so that I can transmit both video and audio to speakers without having to plug the usb/hdmi or vga cables?

[@CandidTechTV]

So unfortunately Bluetooth is only for audio, not video. You could try casting video but there would probably be some lag and I'm not exactly sure how to do that with cable. You can do that with streaming services from a laptop probably though, but not a cable box from what I know.

[@erikahernandez8745]

I have a question, I just bought a projector, screen mirroring is the only way we are watching movies, but I hate my texts show up, is there a way to just see it with blue tooth and not mirror,I can't figure it out

[@CandidTechTV]

So Bluetooth is ONLY for audio transmission, not picture. I think the easiest thing would be to pick up a Fire stick, Roku player, or something like that and just stream from that. You won't run into any copyright steaming issues with certain apps either like you can on a cell phone (Netflix, Hulu, etc).

[@CasinoEmployeee]

Great video...maybe you can help me a little. I’m actually trying to use two, JBL speakers that have a “Party mode” I can get them to connect to the transmitter & projector but there the audio doesn’t match the picture. I know you said two transmitters should solve this issue? One with TX and one with RX?

[@jwallace7230]

Don't use the speakers in "party mode". Just have both speakers turned off and then follow these steps... 1.)Turn on first speaker and place into pairing mode 2.)Power on the transmitter in TX mode and then place into pairing mode by the instructions for your device or like mine is after you power it up you simply tap the power button twice to place in pairing mode 3.) First speaker is paired and now shut that one off 4.)power up your 2nd speaker and place in pairing mode 5.)Follow steps in #2 to place the transmitter device into pairing mode and once connected turn the 2nd speaker off. 6.)Turn on first speaker and let it pair, then turn on 2nd speaker and enjoy the show. If you have them in party mode and you're only connected to one speaker and the other speaker is connected to the 1st speaker you will introduce and audio delay and even potentially an "echo". Just double pair the speakers to the Transmitter if you have this model or any 2 in 1 transmitter.

@@jwallace7230 Hello, i am also trying to connect my projectors audio via Bluetooth to 3 JBL speakers that are Bluetooth 4.2. Projector has Bluetooth 5.0 but there is a horrible lag in audio. I was also using the Party mode. Is there a problem with BT 5.0 sending to BT 4.2 speakers specifically ? so reading your instructions above i would have to connect one by one then shut off then just turn them on and projector should pick them up at the same time? and maybe a 3rd speaker would be out of the question? thank you , good video. :)

[@jwallace7230]

@@eddyrsportz if your projector can handle multiple audio streams/devices via Bluetooth, then yes you can. Though if your projector has the newest Bluetooth module then it should have no problems with connecting to the speakers or have any noticeable lag. It may be your streaming service. I run into the issue if I pause my Netflix show or Hulu and then resume playback,, the audio gets a delay where I heard what they're saying before they say it on screen.
