Does it mix the audio from the 3.5mm aux input and Bluetooth, or does it just play one at a time? And do you have to manually choose between the two?

I use it for a PC that is run to a 65 in TV, It works for the PC as well as any Bluetooth I hook in ie phone tablet what have you. Just have the divice paired and connect. No need to manually switch from main pluged in source and Bluetooth sources.I have a second set in the bedroom just for Bluetooth. And I switch as needed.

I just tried it out to verify my answer. It DOES mix 3.5 aux and bluetooth. It will not pair with 2 or more bluetooth devices simultaneously like their D200 speakers however.

The USB port on my stereo hasn't worked properly from the beginning. With the Bluetooth I can answer yes! Also with the aux port it will too.

I do just that every day - using Pandora on my iPod touch by way of Bluetooth to the speaker (it will take wired auxillary 3.5mm input as well).

Well, there is a connector that says AUX, so I assume that is what it is, for headphones or external speakers. I have not tried that yet, as I only wanted it for the bluetoothfeature from my tablet (Sony S). It worked well once, then it is intermittent (works SOMETIMES). I would definitely try something else, but that's me.

Although I have never used it with aux input, I think you just plug it in and disconnect USB cable. If it doesn't work, go to Control Panel, and after selecting "Sound", make sure the Z205 is your default speaker. Hope this helps!

No. It only transmits to a device (i.e., Bluetooth ear buds or headphones). It works on audio out only not aux.

I have few questions. Can you hook up Bluetooth devices to this receiver? if so, will the recommended yamaha bluetooth will work? 2).Can you play music through zone 2 and not have music playing on the main speakers at the same time? 3) I tried adjusting the volume in zone 2 speakers and it said Fixed volume. what does that mean? Can you adjust volume via smartphone if you have it hooked up through bluetooth?

I had to connect my aux to my headphone port on my tv to get sound. I couldn't get the Bluetooth to work how about you?

I have this paired simultaneously with my iPhone 5 and a Windows laptop, and can play audio from both at the same time. My phone's Bluetooth must be enabled, and the headphone must successfully connect to it first before my laptop will connect.

Just one device at a time. The cord disables the Bluetooth function. My question to you would be what's the practicality of having headphone connected to more that one device at once?

I have it connected to a Sony stereo receiver w 4 pairs speakers. I play all 4 pairs at same time. Works well great solution. Sony has receiver that you can control music via iPhone w Bluetooth. Love the convenience

No this bluetooh interface works with Aux input only. You may want to check Belkins FM transmitter. I have used before and just works fine.

I just powered off the Bluetooth Adapter and then the Droid X streamed music directly to the headset. In addition, the headset easily switched to the phone audio upon receiving a phone call. Thanks for replying guys...

I never used Bluetooth on this stereo. I always had my Aux cord in which let me answer my phone, play music, and other things Bluetooth does as well.

Haven't tried this so I couldn't give you a proven answer. The transmitter was designed to send a stereo signal to two Bluetooth receiver equipped devices. So if you were to pair the transmitter with two BT receivers connected to two separate single channel amps (like two guitar amps), both would receive the stereo signal (mixed L&R; channels) and the stereo effect from the source audio would be lost in playback. But if a BT speaker set being used automatically splits any stereo signal being received back into L&R; stereo channels, presumably it would still play your source audio with the stereo effect intact.

I have the Tune2air, MB Bluetooth and Plantronics earpiece all connected at the same time. They all seem to play together well. If I am listening to music (streaming Bluetooth audio or the stereo, sat or CD) and the phone rings, the system auto-mutes the music if I touch the earpiece (Plantronics) or steering wheel phone icon or even pick up the iPhone and press 'Answer'. I believe that the instruction manual said the Mercedes can recognize up to 4 Bluetooth devices. Amazing how that works!

When the 3.5mm plug is plugged into the headphone slot, you shouldn't have to do anything else. Your music and anything that deals with audio source should play thru the speakers. Navigation, music, in and outbound calls should be automatic.
