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.

2 out of 5 stars Transmitter and Receiver needs direct view of each other   January 1, 2009
This is a good product, but did not work in my house. The transmitter and receiver need to have direct view of each other. I have concrete walls in my house, therefore it did not work very well. But I still got a signal, just with lots of lines/interference.


3 out of 5 stars I'd probably think this was great had I not owned a diff product previously.   December 22, 2008
We owned the Belkin PureAV RemoteTV product. It was a first gen 5.8ghz AV Sender. It was GREAT while it lasted - a little over 3 years. Belkin no longer makes the item, but because it had a lifetime warranty, they refunded the full original purchase price (GO BELKIN). Having experienced NO interference of ANY type with the 5.8ghz Belkin product, I wanted to make sure to get another 5.8ghz AV/Sender as the failed Belkin was in our Kitchen.

Enter the RF-LINK AVS-5811.

The RF-LINK was very easy to setup and get going. It litterally took longer to remove from the box than it did to get a signal going between the two. The picture quality is pretty good and after 3yrs in the house it is still nice not to have to run a wire into our kitchen to get TV. However, the signal is not as good as was with the Belkin device. Simply passing in front of, or standing in front of the device causes a crackling/popping noise from the reduced signal. The manual indicates you should have a clear line-of-sight between the transmitter and the receiver which is just not practical for what you expect to use it for.

I gave this product a 3 out of 5 because I may be somewhat biased as a result of my happiness with the performance of the Belkin. But when comparing 1 on 1, this product would have rated more closely to a 2.



1 out of 5 stars Piece of junk   December 20, 2008
Item did not work as advertised. Virtually no recption, and the two units were only 20 ft apart. Don't buy this.


5 out of 5 stars Excellent solution to signal interference   October 13, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Previously had audio interference from home wifi router with a transmission system operating at the same 2.4Ghz. This unit solved the problem. High quality signal transmission to tv in home gym in lower level, 70 feet away and through several walls. Highly satisfied with the technology.


4 out of 5 stars RF-Link AVS-5811 A/V System w/IR Repeater good stuff   October 13, 2008
The 5.8GHz of this product makes it ideal when using telephones and/or wireless Internet which run on 2.4GHz frequency. The added feature of the IR repeater is a great addition to this kind of unit. It enables you to change channels, stop;rewind;ff;play;pause, and power up and down your source in the same room as your receiver. This source could be a DVD player, VCR, Cable/satellite box etc. As with ANYTHING wireless, you have occasional interference and static but you do have the ability to choose between one of 4 channels to keep those to a minimum. I'm using the unit in the next room so I can't vouch for the distance of this unit but I am going through one brick wall with no problems. All in all, the pros outweigh the cons.
