Product Description
RF LINK 5.8GHZ A/V WIRLS

Amazon.com Product Description
The average home entertainment system once consisted of a TV, stereo, and maybe a cable box. Now a modern system may also include a DVD player, satellite receiver, surround sound amplifier, digital video recorder, and an HD tuner, along with a PC designed to serve as a digital hub for certain audio/video functions. The RF Link AVS-5811 takes A/V technology to the next logical step by wirelessly transmitting audio and video signals from these components to any nearby TV, monitor, or stereo system, letting you enjoy vivid video and hi-fi stereo sound anywhere in the house. The A/V sender effectively lets you send signals to components located upstairs, several rooms away, or elsewhere without running bulky, space-consuming cables in the walls or under the floorboards. With the AVS-5811, viewers can watch simultaneous DVD or satellite programming on upstairs and downstairs TVs, or listen to their favorite tunes on stereos in three different rooms--all without wires. They can also use the sender to watch live video from a camcorder or CCD camera in a remote location, whether for security or entertainment purposes. Users who edit video or capture footage from TV programs on their computers will also find plenty to like about the device, as they can easily send the video from their Macs or PCs directly to a living room TV for viewing.

The AVS-5811 comes with a 5.8 GHz wireless transmitter and a receiver with four selectable channels. Unlike more common 2.4 GHz transmitters, the AVS-5811 doesn't share a band with Bluetooth devices, cordless phones, 801.11b wireless LAN networks, and microwave ovens, ensuring a sharp, interference-free video signal. The four channels are also a bonus, as it lets users set up multiple transmitters and receivers in the same area without cross-channel noisiness. In addition, the sender includes a built-in IR remote extender that controls components from a distance, so a user can mute the bedroom TV while relaxing on the living room sofa, for instance. The sender features an NTSC/PAL video system and transmits to distances as great as 400 feet without obstructions. It's also relatively compact at 6.5 by 4.13 by 10.5 inches (W x H x D).

What's in the Box
Transmitter, receiver, two A/V RCA cables, two AC power adapters, IR mouse (remote extender), user's manual.

5 out of 5 stars IT WORKS WELL BUT YOU HAVE TO BE SURE TO......   July 23, 2010
MATTINHOUSTONTX
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I struggled for a bit until, by trial and error, I discovered 2 key factors that got it working as it should to connect a second tv to a DIRECTV HD receiver.

First, you must connect the transformers for both transmitter and receiver directly into a wall outlet. For me, it did not work as it should when they were plugged into an extension cord or surge protector serving other devices.

Second, as mentioned by many others, any nearby device transmitting on 5.8 will cause some level of interference. In my case, it was a cordless multi-phone system. The problem is removed as soon as the base station transmitter is unplugged. No problem whatsoever with DECT 6.0 phones.

Once these two matters were addressed, it seems that the quality of the transmitted picture is relatively insensitive to antenna orientation and such. I believe the RF-Link will work for everybody but add these 2 suggestions to your bag of tricks.




5 out of 5 stars 5.8 ghz model is an excellent product   July 19, 2010

Note that there are two versions of this product. The 5.8 ghz model works perfectly (video, audio, and IR remote control repeater), right out of the box. I tried the 2.4ghz version first...about $15 cheaper...but it worked very poorly...interference on the video, static on the audio, and unreliable function of the IR remote.


4 out of 5 stars Works as well as I hoped   July 18, 2010
M. Nagy (Laramie, Wyoming)
This product works great in the situation we have it in... The signal is easily disturbed by people walking through it, but it is generally stable.


5 out of 5 stars Solved my issue and works well.   July 14, 2010
D. Sanders (Irvine, CA)
I bought this to transmit only audio upstairs to another receiver. My outdoor speakers are connected there, and now I can have the same music upstairs, downstairs, and outside all at once.

I have not tried any video transmission, so I don't know the quality.

The audio quality is nearly perfect. My desired range is rather short (maybe 25 feet, downstairs to upstairs), but the signal never drops. I do get an occasional "pop" now and then, but I can live with it. 99% of the time sound quality is awesome.



3 out of 5 stars fine, but don't use in close proximity to airport hub   July 2, 2010
gregalo (Illinois)
Like the title says, I had a good experience with this transmitter (was very impressed actually) until I bought an apple airport wireless router. Now when the airport is on, I see a thin white bar of static cycling through the video display, suggesting interference. When I'm connected to the modem via ethernet (and the airport is off) this problem goes away, so it's definitely the airport. Blocking the airport with some LP cases reduces the static but not entirely. The audio has been stellar otherwise, except for some odd sounds when I come between the transmitter and the receiver. So all in all, I am impressed with the clarity of the picture, though annoyed that I can't have the device in the same room as my wireless router.
