Bluetooth is only active if you select Bluetooth as the input source. If that answers your question. Why would you want to deactivate Bluetooth - the strength of this device is that you can stream your music to it via Bluetooth.

The antenna does not have to be pulled out, I have it mounted but leave it hidden behind the unit. It looks much better that way and still works fine!

Hello Leo. Yes, this is possible (a corresponding adapter to a coaxial cable is supplied as an accessory). This MUST also work because the Ruark Audio R4 MKIII provides various operating modes (DAB, FM, CD, USB, Bluetooth, Front AUX, Rear AUX, Optical mode). - I have owned several units (for years) and am thrilled. Only the operation is not very user-friendly. Kind regards, Dänu

Yes, has a predecessor, unfortunately only with DAB radio, no DAB+ So no DAB radio reception possible (one of those nice misplanning by a federal office). But it looks the same. In the meantime, the remote control has also changed, as has the menu navigation. Overall, however, an excellent device with very good sound.

Yes, it has an optical Toslink input. The volume can also be controlled via the TV.

1. no, but you can use the pause button. 2. yes, but the forward/rewind winder has only one speed level (approx. 2 times the speed of normal playback).

This is not possible. All radios with Bluetooth can only receive music, but cannot transmit audio themselves.
