I purchased this kit for my father-in-law who was setting up his surround sound system. At my home, I have a slightly different Rocketfish wireless rear speaker kit that works great. It's the universal wireless HD audio starter kit that doesn't appear to be sold anywhere anymore. My set-up works flawlessly, so I figured this Rocketfish kit would be a good choice.
Unfortunately, once we set up the kit, no sound was transmitted to the rear speakers. If we hard-wired the speakers, everything worked great. But once we introduced the wireless kit, the rear speakers would have absolutely no sound.
I can't tell you how many times we tried to pair the sender and receiver boxes, switch out the speaker wire to a different gauge, or simply re-connect the wires to all of the speakers or wireless units. Nothing ever worked!
I returned this kit to the my local Best Buy, incredibly disappointed by this Rocketfish creation. If I could still find the HD Audio starter kit in a Best Buy, I would have purchased that one in a heartbeat. Unfortunately, we had to settle for hard-wired rear speakers this time around.
