Hi all,


I have just let go of a very old HT system and are looking to upgrade. Currently have a Samsung HD Plasma and a pair of Sony Bluetooth Wireless Headphones (MDRZX77BN).


I would like to be able to occasionally listen to movies via the bluetooth headphones but have been told that this is not possible with soundbars as they are bluetooth receivers and not transmitters. I know there are new receivers that may be able to do this but they are around $900.



Can anyone recommend a setup (audio + bluray player or separate) that would handle this configuration or is anyone using something similar? (budget around $600 or so)


Thanks for any advice anyone can give.

You can't use those(any Bluetooth) with any AVR(at any price).

Those headphones, soundbars and AVR receive audio from something else.

RF and wired are all you can use.

Hi schan1269,
Thanks for replying to my post.
All sorted, Sony receivers can do this with my headphones (eg. Sony strdn860 and some higher models).
