Connect my old hi-fi system to a new Bose soundbar?

Solved
Mick236 -  
Hello,

I have an old hi-fi system (Pioneer X-HM11) that I keep for its CD player.
I would like to output the sound to a Bose soundbar via Bluetooth.

First technical challenge: if I remove the two speakers from the system, the two audio outputs are bare wires!
Second technical challenge: I need a device that can be screwed onto my hi-fi system, and then convert the sound to Bluetooth, which the soundbar can then pick up!

Do you think this is achievable?
Just to clarify, it's not RCA output that I have on my system; it's two speakers with bare wires that were screwed in (I'm throwing away the two speakers).

Thank you in advance for your response.

    Hello,

    Rather than using the speaker output, you should look towards the headphone output. There are Bluetooth transmitters like: https://blog.son-video.com/2016/07/profitez-de-votre-casque-bluetooth-avec-toutes-vos-sources/ It's the device that needs to connect to the unit to capture the sound.

    Be careful when searching for a device, and make sure to pay attention to the transfer direction. Because there are also devices that work the other way around: sending Bluetooth to the stereo via the microphone jack input or RCA in ports. I once saw a 50s radio that had an input for a phonograph, and with a Bluetooth device connected to that input, you could send music from a phone to the radio ;-)
