Need to hook receiver to sounder !!

I have an Onkyo Txnr 626 receiver and i would love to bluetooth it to my JBL SB200 if possible

Thanks,

Michael

I’m afraid you’re probably out of luck there. Receivers and sound bars are totally different platforms to deliver audio for video programming, and as such are mutually incompatible. Both the Onkyo and JBL only receive Bluetooth from external devices but do not transmit, so it’s impossible to pair them together.

Wayne,
Not the cleanest solution, but couldn't he use a headphone to RCA adapter into one of these to transmit to the sound bar?

Interesting device, looks like it would do the trick, assuming he wants to transmit from the Onkyo to the JBL.

Can I use a optical hookup to send music from receiver to sounder

 

[jmcqueen42]

soundbar

 

[WaynePflughaupt]

If the receiver has an optical output and the sound bar has an optical input, then yes.

they do,
thanks for everyone's help. Next question is what is the best way to run zone 2 with 10
speaker.. Would it be with a sound selector

 

[WaynePflughaupt]

I assume you mean a speaker selector, but even with one of those that’s too many speakers to load up on a single amplifier. You should get at least two more amps for all those speakers.

Didn't you ask a very similar question in another thread?

Why yes. Yes you did. Here it is.

...and you got the same answer there. I guess you didn't like it.

I just added to his other thread. Oh boy do I hope he likes it, it's very important to me.

It's important to me that I know what's funny.

It's important to me that I know what's funny.

And it's important to me that it's important to you that you know it's funny.

Well not quite as important as it is that it's important to me that it's important to you that it's important to me to know it's funny, but really, who's keeping track?

The optical on both must be input, Do you think an optical converter to analog and hook up as speaker would work. change the optical on soundbar to analog and hook in to receiver like another speaker?

 

[WaynePflughaupt]

Converting the opticals to analog you’d still have two inputs, and you can’t connect an input to an input. It won’t work. And you can’t connect speakers to line level connections. It won’t work.

Here’s an idea: why not just use the receiver and sound bar as they were designed and intended instead of trying make a round peg fit into a square hole?
