Features

Onkyo Receiver Compatibility: The Onkyo UBT-1 Bluetooth USB Adapter lets you wirelessly stream music from your Bluetooth-enabled smartphone, portable audio player, tablet, laptop, or PC to your 2012 Onkyo A/V network receiver. The Onkyo UBT-1 is fitted with a male USB (type-A) connector which plugs into your compatible 2012 Onkyo A/V network receiver's front- or rear-panel USB (type-A) port. The UBT-1 Bluetooth USB Adapter is only compatible with the following 2012 Onkyo A/V network receivers (as of 9/4/2012).

Bluetooth Ver. 3.0 w/ A2DP: The Onkyo UBT-1 Bluetooth USB Adapter is Bluetooth version 3.0 certified. The Onkyo UBT-1 lets you wirelessly stream music from any Bluetooth-enabled device supporting A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) to your compatible Onkyo A/V network receiver. The UBT-1 does not support AVRCP (Audio/Video Remote Control Profile), so you will need to control your streamed music from your Bluetooth device (not the Onkyo receiver). The UBT-1 is compatible with various Bluetooth-enabled devices; including iPod, iPhone, iPad, and Android.

Note: Due to the differences in Bluetooth technology, some Bluetooth enabled devices may be incompatible, function improperly, or may not support all features when used with the Onkyo UBT-1.

apt-X: The Onkyo UBT-1 Bluetooth USB Adapter is equipped with apt-X, an audio coding technology that works within Bluetooth to wirelessly deliver CD-quality audio from your Bluetooth-enabled device to your compatible Onkyo A/V receiver.
