Connecting my Sony WH-1000xm3 to a vintage stereo

I don't know if someone can help me or redirect me to the right place.
I bought a pair of WH-1000xm3 headphones and I tried to pair them with my Bluetooth device (a Miccus Home RTX 2.0) connected to my vintage TEAC AG-6500 1972 stereo amp but it doesn't work, although I can hear "Bluetooth paired" or "connected". But no sound from the stereo (I had another Bluetooth headphones pair connected to it before and it worked).

Any idea how I can make this work?
Maybe another Bluetooth device?
Any suggestion?

Thanks!
Alex

What jacks on the receiver do you have the Miccus connected to?

If you don't mind going wired, you can always connect the 3.5mm jack on the headphones to the headphone jack on the receiver.
 
Hi,
I don't want to be wired, my spot is not well configured for that, so I'm often upstairs (mezzanine) while I'm listening to music.

My Miccus has the RCA jacks plugged in the Tape 1 behind my TEAC receiver. My CD player is connected to the AUX.

Just want to confirm that it's Tape 1 RECORD. But I'd actually recommend using PRE OUT instead.

I managed to make it work, but not sure it's the best.

I changed the "RCA to headphone" cable position (the headphone jack) from behind the Miccus. It was in the 3.5 Out, I put it in the 3.5 In and plugged the RCA jacks it in the PRE OUT of my receiver.

I have to turn my speakers knob to the OFF position, otherwise I hear the music in both my speakers and headphones.
Then I can use my headphones and adjust the sound on both the receiver and the headphones, but I'm not sure it's the best way. Sound doesn't seem optimum.
 
as was said before, try the tape OUT jacks. You'll still have to mute the speakers or turn the volume all the way down.
