Onkyo UBT-1 Bluetooth USB Adapter

Works terrific. I had to update the firmware on my ONYKO TX-NR414 first (because I bought it when it first came out early 2012 and there have been 3 or so firmware upgrades since - one of them to recognize the UBT-1 device.) (Follow the update firmware procedure in the on-line user manual for the TX-NR414. Make sure you copy all files/folders from the ZIP file onto an empty USB stick (do not copy the zip file). When update says 'completed' - use the power off button on the receiver, and make sure you had all the files on the memory stick. Update took < 10 minutes.) You'll know it's working when you pair because TX-NR414 window will recognizee the UBT-1 and display "UBT-1" in window. I'm able to play music files, Pandora, radio stations, that are on my iphone-4. Played for an hour and never lost connection. Sounds great. I don't have the TX-NR414 on my home network. I have an iphone-5 that I haven't tried, and have the ipone-4 set up to just use wirelessly (since the data contract was moved from the 4 to the 5). So - I'm using the iphone-4 as though its an ipod. And using the iphone-4 costs me nothing with carrier since I just use it wirelessly and without phone - no 3/4G network connection needed!)

I bought the bluetooth adapter for the same reason anyone else would; to stream music from Google Play or iTunes. This device certainly allows that. However, you would have to go to your phone settings and disable all alerts. For instance, do you have a foghorn, whistle or bells ringing alert set up for incoming text messages, emails, FB notifications? Each of these sounds will play through the Onkyo, disrupting the song. The song will fade out, your alert notification plays out, then the song fades back in. That is annoying as hell. Here's another one: Let's say you stop listening to music. You switch back over to Cable or Blu-Ray, but you've left the USB adapter plugged in (there is, after all, a port on the back of the receiver to connect it to, as well as one on the front). When an alert drums up on the phone, the Onkyo will automatically switch back to the Bluetooth Device mode, taking you away from your movie or show. Ridiculous. As a fix, I have moved my USB Bluetooth Adapter to the front of the receiver, with the understanding that I must unplug it after each use. Stack that up against Apple TV, or something similar, and this adapter is plain junk. I dont have Apple TV, nor do I ever plan to purchase any product named after a fruit. But, in this case, I would have to admit that users of the entirely over-priced Fruit Tech will enjoy their product much more than the average Android system user can with this Bluetooth Adapter.

It works great. I like the product. What I don't care for is the fact that Onkyo's firmware is outdated so sirius cannot be streamed to this unit. Streaming siruis is the only reason I purchsed it so I am disappointed. But the adapter works great.

Unfortunately it is not compatible with my Onkyo NR 809 which although purchased in 2012 seems to be a 2011 model! As such the UBT-1 had to be returned as it simply did not work in spite of the Onkyo setup assistance which incidentally can be lousy or excellent depending on the person you get on the phone! The first technician informed me that the UBT-1 was deficient while the second technician informed me that it would not work on my (2011) machine! Looks like I have been had by Onkyo when I purchased the NR809!

At first this worked great. I plugged it in, my phone recognized it and the range was great (using the front USB). I could connect from one floor up and stream music seamlessly. The only issue I had was that any time I turned my phone on to check email/text, it would steal control of my receiver by moving the input to USB from my TV that I was watching. To get around this, I would have to unplug the USB dongle every time I wasn't using it. This wasn't too bad of an issue until I updated the firmware on my Onkyo TX-NR525. I think something with that firmware update corrupted how the drivers are recognized. Ever since the update, when I unplug the dongle, the receiver fails to recognize it when I plug it back in. The only way to restore it to a working state is to clear the whole receiver (hold down "TV/SAT" and hit the Power button). The problem with this is it resets the speaker calibration for my room. To make matters worse, I've called Onkyo's 24x7 support line 4 times and am yet to get through or get a callback from them. Pretty disappointed. I love the stereo receiver and the sound is amazing through my speaker system, but the compatibility/reliability of this accessory is terrible.

In principle, the product works easy and flawlessly. Except for one issue, the bluetooth range is AWEFUL. It skips and chops with me just sitting on my couch at the other end of the room from the device with zero items in between for interference. I'm talking about 9-10 ft away. The audio quality is great while it's working, but it makes the product basically pointless and useless for me. Don't buy if you plan to walk around anywhere with your phone. (which is the purpose of one of these devices).

I ordered this adapter so I could use my Nexus 7 with a CS-N775 system. This allows me to play Pandora, Spotify, and Radio Paradise with full control. Being wireless I can set the tablet anywhere in my room and have full control of the system. I have not tested how far the connection works but I assume it will be limited to about 10 meters (30 feet) since it a class 2 device. One very nice feature is that If the stereo system is turned off and I start playing music on the tablet the stereo will automatically turn itself on and start playing. If the stereo is turned off while streaming the player in the tablet will pause. Volume control on the tablet controls the stereo's volume while connected. This adapter works on the back and front USB ports of the CS-N775.

This might not be that exciting for some of you, but with the tech saavy music junkies, it's a beautiful thing! Had a little trouble at first getting it to read my iPhone but after I got my head out of my rear, I was the trouble. Anyway, I do have my big flash drive in the USB port most of the time, but when my friends come over and want to hear a song on the Bose Acoustimass 10, it's simple, pair it, then play it!!! They think its really neat you can do this with a receiver!!

Ottimo prodotto, peccato che alcune funzioni della connessione via cavo USB non vengano mantenute e non si possa, ad esempio, usare il telecomando del ricevitore AV per controllare e scorrere la musica sull'iPhone. Nel complesso, però, è un prodotto straordinario e la qualità del suono è notevole. Ultimo appunto: peccato che non serva per utilizzare l'app onkyo remote 2...

Ich nutze den Stick an einem TX-NR414. Stick einstecken und los gehts. Der Stick muss nur mit einem anderen Bluetooth-Gerät gepaart werden. Die Qualität kann sich hören lassen. Getestet mit einem Android-Smartphone und einem Radius von ca. 3m.

Fácil de instalar. A veces tarda en cambiar de usuario.

I'm rating it 4 out of 5 as I had problems getting it working. It paired with my Samsung S4 mini but there was no sound coming from the speakers. I eventually found a post online where a system reset on my Onkyo CR-N755 was suggested. I did that which cleared all of the settings from the receiver (which is a pain), but on the plus side, the Bluetooth adapter then started working. The sound quality seems good and works great for Internet Radio and streaming flac and 320kbps MP3's from my phone. I've no way of knowing how it compares sound quality and range wise with the third party bluetooth receivers that you can get, but with the UBT-1 it plugs in to the rear USB on the receiver, so I don't need another power socket.
