MacOS – What devices are supported for bluetooth in OS X Mavericks

audiobluetoothmacos

I just tried to connect my stereo to my mac via bluetooth. However, my mac does not find the device. Is this expected? Which devices does OS X Mavericks support for bluetooth? Although bluetooth uses a common standard it does not necessarily mean that all devices that supports bluetooth are supported by any other bluetooth device.

You can click on the Apple Menu - then about this mac then support (in the tabs in the window) then lastly User Manual.
