Wireless solution that actually works

I'm not using this for rear surround speakers, i'm using it to monitor whats on tv while i'm in my kitchen. For my application, its a thing of beauty. It's neither powerful nor great sounding, but the setup took 10 minutes from opening the box to adjusting the volume. It's about 60 ft away and the signal goes thru a wall. I had my doubts that something so affordable would work so well, but it really does what it says. There is not an automatic shut-off, but i doubt the tiny amplifier unit is much of a current hog.
What's great about it: Nothing beats being able to have a pair of speakers anywhere you want
What's not so great: Sound quality and power is below average
I would recommend this to a friend!

My RF-WHTIB wireless rear speaker system just stopped working after only a few months. Why? And what can I do to reboot it?

is there a slow blinking red light on both units? if so, here's what you do:
there is a small link button on both the receiver and the transmitter. hold it down and the light will begin to flash rapidly. do this on both units and they will attempt to pair (like xbox 360 controllers). when the lights turn solid red, they are paired. try moving them closer together if they don't pair.

How old is this design?

When was the latest update to its components and/or firmware?
this equipment has not changed specs since hitting the market. it has no firmware.

Connect two transmitters to the same stereo output from the AV receiver

Wanted to see if wiring two transmitters in parallel to a single output channel of an AV receiver would cause impedance issues? Also, if this is possible and would not cause any power drops to the input side of the transmitters, does this pose a risk to controlling expected volume on the receiver/speaker end for both sets of speakers? I wanted to take a single zone of an Denon AVR-X4000 and wire two transmitters in parallel to have two separate areas of sound coverage outside my home.
it will not cause an impedance issue, because the transmitter is a highly resistive load. it does not want power, it just wants signal, so the AC impedance seen by the receiver is very high. you could run a dozen of them off a single channel and the receiver will hardly notice. the speakers will sound the same as before.

Do you need to use the 2 foot speaker cable supplied with the system to make the system work

nope, any cheapo speaker cable will work. doesn't need to be thick bcuz it doesn't carry any current, just signal (like RCA's).
