  • Supports full-featured voice guidance and status / codec indicators, making it incredibly easy to set up and use.
  • Compatible with devices with optical RCA and AUX audio inputs.

The avantree worked as advertised. I like the feature that allows you to turn it on and off. I have another brand connected to another receiver that stays on. It was easy to connect phone and tablet to the receiver using the Avantree. I highly recommend the device.
