I bought this item two months ago and find a serious problem with that. When I tried to use it together with my Sony DVD Home Theater which has a wireless surrounding system, it failed to work. I have to either unplug the S-AIR model(which means you will have 3.1 surrounding instead of 5.1) or put my bluetooth devices close enough to the adaptor(which makes Bluetooth meaningless). I tried to swich the channel of the S-AIR but it failed to work. Either the adaptor or the S-AIR model doesn't work.
If your system doesn't have the S-AIR model, this item is perfect to buy. But if your system does include the S-AIR model, you'd better make another choice.

Wow! I love Bluetooth technology and this product is all that you need to stream music wirelessly to my Sony receiver. Set-up took me about 30 seconds to complete and the sound was great. It connected easily with my LG Voyager. all I do is carry my phone anywhere I go and will be able to listen to music in my home or auto, since I also have a Bluetooth Sony receiver for the car. Two complaint I have with this product. $80 is a bit steep for such a little device. Also, I wish when you turn on your receiver, it should connect automatically. But those are minor things, overall it's worth every penny.

This was easy to set up and I was streaming music from my Blackberry and/or Dell Axim through my Sony receiver in no time at all. The sound quality was similar to a setting of "super stereo" on the receiver.

Other wireless device can interfere with the signal but if you are not walking around with the handheld while streaming you should not have a problem.

It's not hard when all I had to do is to plug this into a slot in the back that looked like it could fit the plug in. Pressed the function button on theater player till it says dmport and tada, it works. Do I really have to put a review in for such a simple product?

Oh one thing: pay attention and read a little diagram of where on this little device the buttons are. Some people may be clumsy enough to miss the reset button. Some other may not be tech savvy enough to know that holding the reset button without letting go for several seconds may mean a different function :)

I got this to work with my Sony HTCT100 Sound Bar and so far am very happy. I was disappointed that the HT-CT100 only had one RCA input, and wanting to hook up my computer and iPhone to it, seemed I was out of luck. Noticing the "DIMPORT" jack I researched it some and noticed this guy as an option. The idea of being able to stream music wirelessly over bluetooth from my laptop and phone seemed like a dream come true.

Setup was a total breeze. Just plug in, hold the little button on the side, and run pairing on your computer or phone with a a code of 0000. Boom! You're done.

My major concern was sound quality and interference. The sound quality is nearly identical to a Logitech Squeezebox that is connected optically, producing full sound with a nice rich bass. I have a 802.11G router sitting on the other side of the wall and have not seen any interference so far. Range is pretty good - I can take my iPhone 3G in to the next room and it only gets choppy when I'm over 25 feet away or trying to go straight through a wall.

I'd recommend this purchase to anyone with a Sony system that has a DIMPORT jack. Even if you don't plan to use bluetooth Audio on a daily basis, it's a real treat to be able to do so for a $60 accessory.
