These type of music systems were gems.

[@edwingitau2277]

Exactly

[@nickyoung3039]

I agree, my uncle gave me his old one and it still works. You just don't have the same quality products as you use too.

[@ArunKumar-nl4nf]

I have sony

[@katem2411]

This is great information - exactly what I needed to get my streaming music onto an old bose system - the older speakers sound so much better than a lot of the newer ones and it's going to be great to be able to use the same system for radio/cds and streaming music

[@prashanthkumar5939]

The quality of music from my old Philips system is unmatched even by today's standards. Will definitely try this.

[@sinatratechnologies9394]

Very patient explanation. The music played was Simply awesome

[@laralyndy6106]

Thank you. I miss my old stereo speakers and that sound quality. I’m going to try this. I appreciate it.

[@TechGuyCharlie]

These old stereos indeed sound better than the new ones, I hope the video has been helpful 😊

[@joydutta5351]

I do have the Logitech Bluetooth audio receiver and it works similar to this TP Link one. Smooth playback.. Thanks for the review.

[@andreapatane4204]

My dad mastered the Bluetooth router on the stereo he had when he was a teenager back in the '70s. It seems to work well as long as I remember to "Bluetooth" on when my 📱🔟R has it displayed in "Settings." Auxiliary is tricky, but a very serious feature to use wisely. It isn't easy to ace the setup of Bluetooth these days. We have no need for cables to put them inside of a receiver at all. 😂 👍🏻 if you're happy to hear that the procedure was a complete success.

[@mloesb]

Bluetooth was introduced in 1998. I think you used something else in the '70s.

[@tarkovsky69]

finally a good review of this product after al the junk

[@eucarchitect4608]

Thanks a lot for giving life to my 8 years old hi-fi system

Thank you for your informative video I loved it I was searching for this information desperately I have bluetooth reciever which I didnt knew where to put those cable wires then I was scared of wrongly putting the cables in so many holes in the back and my system blow off. Also the second part was useful which says now which button to press. It helped me. Your video is fully useful. Thanks man...👌👌👌👌

[@zbruch66]

thank you, nice review! ... is there a Bluetooth receiver wich can be plugged in into USB input on music player?

[@johannapetil6980]

Thanks ,now i know I can add bluetooth to my old component.

[@jeremy_h]

Connecting an Echo Input or Dot accomplishes the same thing, minus NFC but adds smart features.

[@helenmolesworth5361]

Can you also pair extra bluetooth speakers to this to have music in other rooms in the house from the old stereo?

[@bharathvishal9797]

Old is gold....the replacers....😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩

Hi. Thanks for the information. Need ur help. I have the same Sony system as shown by you. I bought the crossbeats Bluetooth receiver. I saw this video after buying it. I assumed the Sony system has the audio Aux. Is there anyway I can connect my crossbeats Bluetooth receiver with this Sony system. Pls help.

[@SebaRey301]

Hi, nice video! When there's no music playing, this receiver makes static noice or something? Greetings

[@TechGuyCharlie]

This happens only while playing a cassette tape, on every other input its silent, no static noises when there is no music playing.

Can I connect my old stereo with my smart TV by plugging TP link into my stereo and pairing with Smart TV

[@TechGuyCharlie]

If your Smart TV supports Bluetooth audio streaming then YES., you can connect your old stereo with your TV with this TP-link. But I'd double-check for the Bluetooth audio streaming capability of the Smart TV before buying this because I have an LG Smart TV and it does not have Bluetooth audio streaming capability.

[@TheJoejoez]

I have a 30 year old system. How can I get Bluetooth out from the amp or headphone jack to separate Bluetooth wireless speakers? I don’t want to stream. I want to play vinyl and cassettes to modern wireless speakers. Can this be done?

[@blakebruner6173]

I want to take my existing audio cassettes and use the turntable and CD player on my stereo to make computer dubs to share with my grand kids. It's imperative that I corrupt their minds and souls with my Rock n' Roll music!!! Can I use this TP Link device in the process? And use my computer as I did my cassette recorder/player to make complication tapes? How do you then record the music on your computer? Is it simple software on most computers or do I need to buy software? What would be in it's title so I'd know that it would do what I want it to do? Or the name of it's type of software? I figure a DAC unit might be the hardware version to do this, but am hoping that this way is another avenue to check. For corruption's sake, please help!

I keep missing phone calls. Typically my phone is in one room and I am in another. The phone just doesn’t ring loud enough (big old house)Will this connection that you demonstrated allow a phone call to interrupt music? Or to ring through the stereo speakers anytime a call comes in?
