Bluetooth on old Sony home theater system

[purpletrish]

Hello. I bought a bluetooth converter BTA 10 for my old 2010 Sony home theater system. It wont work and I've been told the theater received needs to be updated. Anyone know how to update it? Please help me! I really want to hear my music

Don't you think giving us the model number of your HT system might be a good idea?

So sorry. Don't know what I was thinking. It is a 2010 Sony home theater system. Model # HBD-D7175

Not only that, which direction you want BT to go? Receiver to BT speaker/headphones, or Smartphone to Receiver? Asking question is not simple.

The bluetooth receiver you got should connect to the aux or any analog line level input on the Sony. Pair your phone or other music source to the receiver and select the input you connected it to on the Sony. Select a surround sound mode for music or use stereo if you prefer.
The level might be a bit lower than other sources so just turn the Sony volume up.

Ok I feel like a real dummy now. So sorry! I want to use the BT receiver my to play music from my Samsung Galaxy S9

Then what americanaudiophile says covers it.

The home theater system does not have aux input. It only has audio lines in and out. When the BT adapted is plugged in I cant get sound from the speakers. I know the BT adapted works cause I plugged it into an old Bose. I talked with a rep. From harmankardon.com That is where I purchased the BT received
He said the home theater system must need an update

When he said "aux or ANY ANALOG LEVEL LINE INPUT" that includes line_in, tape_in, cd_in, basically any IN that has 2 RCA jacks should work.

 

[purpletrish]

Well I wish it was working, but it's not. I have it hooked up the only way it can be and nothing.

 

[jsmithepa]

This shouldn't be that hard. Wanto post a clear picture of the back where this is connected?

I've already been told that this BT receiver wont work for my system. Guess I was just looking for some hope here. Anyone know of any BT receiver that will work for and old home theater system?
