If this unit is dlna certified, does that mean I will be able to stream music from my smart phone through this receiver? Or do I need bluetooth?

I am assuming you have an Android phone? And yes, you are correct, you can stream music from your phone to this receiver. I do it all the time from my Samsung Galaxy S4.

Yes! I really enjoy the Bluetooth streaming feature. It is just as clear as if you were playing a cd, no difference!

To my knowledge this receiver is the *receiving* unit, not the sending unit. This head unit acts like a BT earpiece in that it receives media FROM a paired device like smartphone.

Unfortunately Bluetooth will not support bandwidth at this time needed to send a 5.1 signal stream, so your surround sound receiver will not have that special format to decode into 5.1 surround sound.I have been using various Bluetooth receivers with a car surround sound signal processor and there is not support yet for that (it can be done with Android media players but not over bluetooth).

Yeah it supports DLNA. But Airplay is better. Try Airplay if your NAS supports. I have Synology and I can stream from DS Audio to these speakers easily.

The receiver doesn't have any USB and any bluetooth connectivity. There is a connection to an optional iPod dock. It is not included with this receiver but it was included in another setup I have at a different location.

You can also stream internet radio stations from your smartphone via Bluetooth and would choose the Blue Tooth function on the JVC. Nice thing is no wires needed and you can simply push the forward button on the receiver to move to another station/song.

The receiver is not a network receiver it is a plain stereo receiver, albeit a good one. If you wanted to receive streamed radio you would have to buy an external wi-fi device with a line level output that would feed into one of the unused line inputs on the tx-8020 i.e. TV, DVD, Tape.

Most everything is fine with it. The major problem is with the Bluetooth module. If you plan on using Bluetooth I would choose a different receiver.

If it's non Bluetooth it won't work. This handy little device streams music from your Bluetooth enabled device to your speakers or stereo with an aux input.

You need to be plugged into the RCA jacks or the headphone jack to take advantage of the card's DAC, blue tooth is digital and you would be hindering this card, as bluetooth does not support flac or have a high enough bitrate to transfer full CD quality let alone 24/192 kHz. To get any use of this card you're going to be limited to wired connections, else you're sacrificing audio quality and killing the point of the card

Best I can tell, you can use a Bluetooth adapter to stream all kinds of video but the receiver does not have any video app that I know of. Only Spotify and Pandora.

As long as it has a clear path between the receiver and the bluetooth speaker, you shouldn't have a problem. Depending on the quality of your speakers, it may experience a bit of lag in the transmission of the music, (i.e. your playlist is on the next song before the previous song has finished playing audibly), which is easily fixed by turning off your speaker and turning it back on.

Belkin SongStream Bluetooth HD Music Receiver does NOT have aptX codec support. Thus, you will only receive compressed/degraded audio through A2DP's subband codec (sbc) transmission.

Your good. I stream pandora and YouTube to my head unit through bluetooth. I also had a toggle switch to bypass the settings so I can watch DVD when I'm driving(I know bad idea) but I like having the option.

I guess if you dont have a DLNA TV you can use the blu-ray player as receiver (connected to the tv).That would be why I would be looking for a DLNA enabled blu-ray player

no, your receiver as in it's name receiver, receives music from Bluetooth devices, as does your Sony wireless. You receiver is not a source of stored music and does not send it out to other bluetooth devicex
