Wireless speaker for use with Yamaha RX-V481

[PenTal]

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?

Sorry I must have misread the specs on the receiver. They don't make it clear.
If you have been able to get BT headphones to pair with it you should be fine with any speaker.
