Users complaining of sudden subwoofer pop in...you can fix that problem easily by simply increasing your subwoofer output level on your receiver and then compensating for the increased level by lowering the level at your subwoofer. You’ll have to play around with it to get the levels to taste but this will eliminate the sudden pop in of the subwoofer because the levels are too low and your sub keeps going to sleep. That is the number one complained about problem that can easily be fixed. The delay in sound is the #2 issue. This was automatically fixed by my YPAO microphpone that set the subwoofer distance at 32ft even though in reality it was only 5 or 6 feet from the YPAO microphone. (YPAO is that mic that came with your receiver to automatically configure your speaker settings). It’s doing that to correct for the lag. You can also do this manually. At least double or triple the distance setting of your sub. That will cause the receiver to fire the sub a bit early so by the time it gets to your ears its in sync with the other speakers. Makes sense right?
These two issues are pretty much the only issues people complain about with this device and its a shame because they have easy solutions. This device is not plug and play and will require you to make these modifications to get it to function properly.
I think it’s a great device and I’m glad I have it. Works great at 13ft between the transmitter and receiver.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Both sender and receiver on ,,,,sub is not functional. What now???
Make sure the two devices have power. Make sure your sub has power. Make sure your sub level is not set to 0. Make sure your wired connections are correct. Make sure your subwoofer setting on your receiver is set to subwoofer and not None. Make sure the level for your subwoofer on receiver isn’t set too low. Refer to the user manual to pair the transmitter and receiver as a last step. (These are paired already by factory default so do this as a last step).

How do you connect to tv
This is meant to be connected to a receiver and not a TV directly. TV’s don’t have subwoofer preouts. If a TV has RCA stereo output (Not many do anymore) you could use that if it lets you do that without cutting off your other TV speakers.

I have a two-chapel amplifier with no bass out. Can I hook the Rockfish transmitter up to via the RCA out instead and get the bass channel transmitted to the subwoofer?
Yes...it has stereo RCA plugs for that reason.

I've read the manual and it states for a a/v receiver without a sub out that u can hookup to the r & l inputs using the receivers r&l preouts. Does the unit then only send low level frequencies to the receiver unit?
Who knows? I think it probably sends the full signal but your subwoofer crossover should take care of that on the sub end. Set your crossover to 80Hz on the subwoofer and it will ignore anything above that no matter what signal it receives. (As it should). Set all of your speakers on your receiver to Small and the receirver crossover setting to 80Hz as well no matter how big you think they are unless their huge and have really big subwoofers. This will ease the load on your receiver to send frequencies above 80 Hz to your speakers and anything below goes to your subwoofers.
