pfr, I have found an older Samsung tablet, kindly given to me, more reliable for Bluetooth than a cheap new tablet I bought for my father. His headphones and the Yamaha thing under the tv connect reasonably easily and once away,he can blast out his opera, etc. It can take a reboot with the newer one.

I had initially thought that that Samsung tablet was working well with a Panasonic amp, also in the living room and mostly used for their old records, but even if it does connect, I often get stuttered sound. The only things we have that are close to 100% with Bluetooth and the Panasonic are my Swift 2 and Nvidia Tablet - both running Android 7...
