Looking for a wireless/bluetooth speaker to use on deck of home about 60' from Yamaha RX-V481 stereo receiver.
 
Since the receiver has a bluetooth receiver but not a transmitter you have two options.
1. Use a Yamaha Musicast speaker. That will be compatible with the receiver.
2. Since the receiver doesn't have any line level outputs you can't just connect a bluetooth transmitter to it. You would need speaker selector switch connecting the front output of the receiver to your indoor speakers and also to a speaker to line level converter that would feed a bluetooth transmitter. Kind of a cobbled together way of doing it.

So. . . even though we have successfully paired wireless headphones and hearing aids, we will not be able to pair up a bluetooth speaker like the UE Boom 2?
