The product listing "misrepresents" the product

Two of the images show the device with the power light on and a third with the device in use. All three show just the audio cable, connected to the center of the device. First of all you need two cables to use this device, an audio cable to connect this receiver to your sound system and a power cable since there is no battery. Second of all, they connect left and right of center.

What someone (at Belkin?) has done is Photoshop the images to make the connectivity much neater than it is and possibly even imply that all you need is an audio cable because the device has an internal, reachable battery. In fairness, the ad never mentions that and it was the conclusion I reached from looking at the images and reacting quickly to a Gold Box offer.

Please note, this is not entirely Belkin's fault. They did not specifically say the device had an internal battery. However, the images they provided at least suggested it and definitely were not of the product being sold. Please take a look at the attached video to see what you are actually getting. The first thing that surprised me about this bluetooth receiver was how small it is; about ~1" square. I was expecting something around the Apple TV size but it's really the smallest thing. It comes with a 3.5mm to dual RCA phono (the red/white outputs) and a 3.5mm to 3.5mm both of which should cover most entertainment systems' inputs.

Set up is a simple case of plugging in power to the unit via the supplied DC 12v wall-wart and hooking it up to your sound system. You don't need to download an app on your phone/ipad and the receiver should work with ANY device that can output audio via bluetooth. Once plugged in you simple look for bluetooth devices and you should find the Belkin as an option. I didn't need to put in any password, although if asked is the usual security-useless '0000'.

And after that my iphone immediately started playing great sound through my home audio system. Now at this point I saw what R.Moore, who has posted a great solution in his review, was talking about: the reception is TERRIBLE. I doubt I was four feet away from the Belkin receiver and was getting dropouts aplenty. Of course, if I moved about two feet towards the receiver everything sounded fine but when you have to be that close to a wireless receiver then it kind of removes the point of it being wireless.

Following on from the instructions laid out by Mr Moore I cracked open the small box and removed the silly metal 'weight' which served no purpose other than to radically reduce the range of the Belkin receiver and also to weigh it down a little so presumably it seemed more expensive. Once removed I could wander into the next room with my phone and the audio stayed strong. Thanks Mr R.Moore for a great tip!
