Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Eliminate the biggest hassle of home theater: wiring surround sound speakers. The Kenwood RFU-6100 is a wireless solution that features a transmitter and receiver that operate using RF (radio frequency), which eliminates the speaker AC plugs found on conventional wireless speaker systems. With the RFU-6100, you can use higher-quality surround speakers than are typically found in conventional surround speaker systems.

The separate RF receiver unit has a built-in high-power digital amplifier for the surround speakers (up to 50 watts x 2 channels), which dramatically improves sound quality over conventional wireless systems, and it can be used up to 100 feet away from the transmitter. Active circuitry reduces noise interference, and 4 selectable RF transmission channels eliminate interference from other RF devices.

What's in the Box
Kenwood RFU-6100 wireless transmitter and receiver, 2 AC power adapters, 2 speaker wires.

Product Description:
Kenwood RFU-6100 Wireless System for Surround Speakers - This transmitter and receiver saves you from the hassle of running speaker cables to your surround sound speakers.

Works with any A/V receiver

Built-in RF Noise Reduction Circuitry & 0-bit Mute - together they virtually eliminates hissing or buzzing noises from the speakers

Great Substitute for Running Wires.......2007-03-10

This item is a great way to get your rear surround speakers sounding great without running wires from the front of the room. I have hardwood floors and there was no good way to hide the wires. This has performed really well. It is not as good as wires, but it is pretty darn close.

Works like a charm.......2007-01-10

I set this system up, and put on Saving Private Ryan, specifically the Omaha Beach sequence which is one of the best DVD surround mixes out there, and it performed admirably.

My only beef with the system is that the wires from the transmitter to your receiver are VERY short and not replaceable, so you have to position the transmitter no more than a foot from the source, making it hard to avoid interference from the surrounding machines.

Give me longer wires, and it'll be a 5 star review for the next generation.

Works great........2006-12-11

Pro: cheap, no wire across the living room
Con: none.

Initially after I set it up, there are quite a lot hisssing sound and noise. I thought it's this unit's fault. After recently replaced the optical wire that connects the DVD player to the receiver (the old one is worn out in several places), the noise is completely gone. So it's the broken optical cable that causes the original noise problem.

I'm happy with the product now. I would rate it 5 stars if I can change the original review rating.

No more wires across the living room floor!.......2006-10-27

Instead of running wires across your room a wireless transmitter sends the signal from your tv / dvd /receiver to the wireless receiver in the back of the room. You simply plug in the wireless receiver in the back of your room, plug it into the AC outlet, and run the speaker wires from the back receiver to you rear speakers.
The good: No more snaking wires under carpets , around coffee tables, along base boards. Very easy to setup and use and good sound. Mine is setup about 20' from the receiver and I haven't had any problems.
The bad: none i have found!

Wireless? Not really . . ........2006-10-14

This is such a scam--READ THE REVIEWS before buying.
This unit broadcasts a signal to a wireless receiver which you must hook up (with wires) to your surround speakers AND plug in to the wall. Not only are the wires to the speakers only 3 feet long, but they are WIRES!!! What this means is that if you don't place your surround speakers within 6 feet of each other AND within a few feet of a wall outlet, this thing is pretty much useless. I don't know of too many folks who place their surround speakers within this distance . . . plus they're wired! It basically defeats the purpose of a wireless system--you're still going to have wires running to your speakers . . . and actually, very low-gauge, short wires at that.
I would NOT recommend this for anyone looking to eliminate wires.
