Aluratek ABCD54F Reviews

Worked out of the box

It worked out of the box. I am new to bluetooth and the set up worked once I had studied the directions. Five stars if it holds up.

NO Volume Control in Transmit TX mode

By Thomas
Rated 2 out of 5

I purchased this device to listen to my TV via my Apple Ear Buds so as not to disturb anyone. In “transmit mode” (TX) it has NO volume control. ONLY if you use the unit as a “receiver mode” (RX) to send a signal TO say a stereo unit (RX) you HAVE volume control. You cannot correct this feature through your TV audio settings Ex. Fixed or Variable it doesn’t make a difference. You are left with a bit of a strong audio that’s a little too loud. I called the manufacturer to confirm that issue and they agree. One other issue. It took me more than several times to pair it up that I wound up calling tech services to walk me through it with some settings not shown in the manual. For $56.39 before taxes is a lot of aggravation for ringing ears.

Does it have a power on/off switch? It would be helpful to be able to turn it off so that headphones do not automatically connect when not desired.
Asked by: Deborah
According to Aluratek, "There is no power button for on and off. Since that unit does not have a charging battery inside it must be plugged in at all times."

No, your iPhone is also a transmitter. In transmit mode it will only connect with a bluetooth receiver.

I have an older receiver with wired speakers. If this is connected to my receiver, can I use it with a bluetooth device, such as my phone to connect with wireless speakers simultaneously? For example, I would like to have my music played through my home stereo w/ wired speakers inside and have bluetooth speakers for outside. Would this unit work for that? Is it even possible??
Asked by: Sonja
If I am understanding you correctly, you would need to purchase 2 of these to accomplish this. 1 setup to receive and one to transmit. Unfortunately this can only do on or the other not both at the same time. The unit is "switchable". Hope this helps.

Does it act as an optical splitter, so wired output goes to sound bar and Bluetooth to headphones?
Asked by: Peter
First two answers dont address the question. Assuming and optical audio out from TV to optical audio in on Aluratek, and assuming Bluetooth to headphones, can the optical audio out on Aluratek drive a sound bar simultaneously, and without lag? Samsung TVs make it difficult to have both a sound bar and Bluetooth for headphones.
