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 Excellent solution to signal interference   October 13, 2008
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.


3 out of 5 stars Works for video, but creates an IR noise storm.   October 12, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

These have an issue that can cause an IR storm on the IR mouse end, which can cause issues for sensitive equipment. The infrared upstream re-transmit function is 'stupid'. In other words, it transmits all IR energy that the photo diode gets triggered by; basically an IR storm at the head-end. If you have a tube TV in the receiver location, there is a ton of IR coming off the screen. I found this IR storm (noise) was able to over-ride my DirecTV receiver's living room remote when I used the IR mouse. The receive activity light on the transmitter nearly constantly flickers, even when my TV is off. Even a laptop with an infrared port can cause the receiver to transmit the output of the laptop into my livingroom.

If RF-Link could make this a 'smart' infrared receiver that rejects non-modulated IR signals that fall outside the 'normal' remote control frequencies 36Khz to 56Khz, it would be a much better solution.

It gets three stars simply because it has IR upstream issues that caused me a bunch of extra work. I ended up back at having to install a long wire along the floorboards under my carpet to my URC-9910's receiver and placing it on top of my sofa to get remote control working in my living room from my bedroom. The URC-9910 is 'smart' since it runs on RF and doesn't transmit unless a button is pressed.

By the way, the video WILL flicker out when you walk in between the transmitter and receiver. Your best bet is to mount this as high as possible at both locations. 6 feet or better should do the trick.



5 out of 5 stars Far better than a 2.4 GHz system   September 19, 2008
I used to have a LeapFrog 2.4 GHz system purchased at Best Buy. This product is far superior so far.


4 out of 5 stars Initial impression: Does the job fine   August 16, 2008
We've only had this for a day, but so far so good. The unit is being used as a video baby monitor that's hooked up to a Sony miniDV cam and also our Panasonic 42" plasma. There's some rolling static lines even after changing between the 4 channels and moving the position of the antennas. That gave me memories of the 80s and messing with the old school analog antenna of our TV.
Right now we're in an apartment with probably a mess of signals from neighbors, a worst case scenario in my opinion. We have a 2.4GHz phone and a 802.11b/g network and both seem fine. For our purpose this unit does the job fine, it's great not having to run a 50 ft composite cable from our son's room to the living room now.
