Review: UBT-1 installed on TX-NR414 - 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!)
Review: Works like it should but......... - 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does this require your receiver to be on a network? or can you stream bluetooth from phone without the network**
A: If you have this then you don't need a network to stream from your phone.

**Q: Can I use this to pair my Onkyo receiver to bluetooth headphones and stream the audio from movies to the headphones? I want to keep it quiet at night**
A: It appears to me (though I haven't tried that), that it is a receiver only. It transmits a signal read by other devices. So I would say no..it does not. There is however a jack/port to plug a wired headset on the receiver though I know that's not what your looking for. I hope this was helpful...

**Q: will any bluetooth adaptor work?  does it have to be the UBT-1?**
A: Only the UBT-1 will work. It was simple to set up also.

**Q: Hello i have a tx-nr1008 someone know if is compatible with the ubt-1 blutooth adapter?**
A: It worked with the 5000 seriesi suspect it'll work with all of them

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ It works great. I like the product
*by R***G on November 4, 2015*

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.
