Terk Technologies Leapfrog LF-30S Wireless 2.4 GHz A/V Distribution System Reviews

• Works great... unless you use other 2.4Ghz devices

  
  By A29EV5QU84GQG0 on 2003-06-08
  I was looking for a wireless way to send the video & audio from my living room to a bedroom, so that I could watch movies coming from my cable box & DVD player. Having a remote control feature, I chose this model.
  I can tell you that the picture was very sharp, and the sound was great. However, I also have a Panasonic KX-TG2730 expandable cordless phone system, which operates on the same 2.4Ghz frequency. With the phone's base plugged in, it produced crackling sound and wide dark bands that scrolled vertically along the picture. Unplug the phone system, and it was flawless. I had read other mixed reviews on interference caused by 2.4Ghz phone sytems, but I can tell you that the Panasonic system I mentioned did cause interference for me. I tried moving the phone base, and tried all four channels on the Leapfrog Wavemaster 30 video transmitter, but nothing helped.

  In short, if you don't use any other wireless devices using the 2.4Ghz frequency (cordless phones, wireless network devices), the Terk Leapfrog Wavemaster 30 delivers a great picture with equally great sound. If you do use other wireless devices on the same frequency, I would look for a video transmitter that uses a different frequency (or a wired one), or be prepared to return it to the store.
  
  

• Does not work with wireless network

  
  By A2DW71TJCW35A8 on 2004-09-07
  This product worked great if I unplugged my wireless computer network. It did not work acceptably when the computer network was turned on, which happens to be all the time.
  
  

• Great if you are not a videophile

  
  By A1IANEBSMVGHS9 on 2004-12-08
  We have an 802.11g wireless network at home, which is to say we have ANOTHER transmitter broadcasting at the same frequency of this A/V Distribution System. As a result, due to the fact that the Terk transmitter is more powerful than my wireless router, when I first turned on the A/V dist. system I could not use my wireless network, because the computer I have wirelessly connected to the network could not find any networks... i.e. it does not know how to deal with the "network signal" from the A/V dist. system. This was easily solved (thanks to Doug for the tip) by switching over to Channel 2 (there are four channels available to broadcast over).
  
  Otherwise, it was a true breeze to set up and very inexpensive compared to wired options, if you need to run cables over more than 16 feet or so. However, if you are VERY critical about video quality, know that this wireless "bridge" will degrade quality a little bit. If you have anything remotely similar to HDTV, for example, it will kill the quality because it only uses composite video or coaxial (HDTV requires component or DVI). But if you are not overly critical about perfect video quality, this is more than enough, and will save you probablyt some $200-$400 in cable costs and installation expenses to get the video signal wired. I must clarify that I didn't run the audio signal through, since I was only using it to bridge the gap between our receiver (which has its own speakers) and the video input for our digital projector at the oposite end of the room.
  
  

• Works as well as can be expected for 2.4ghz

  
  By A3P2I5ITZPOHI5 on 2005-11-19
  I used this product for several weeks to transmit satellite TV from our living room to a computer upstairs (with windows media center). It was easy to set up and the remote worked great; however, if you are considering buying this product, you should be aware of some things:
  
  1. The price of this product is dropping quickly because it's inferior to RF links that run on the 5.8 GHz spectrum. I strongly recommend considering spending the extra money on a product that runs on this less-crowded spectrum. Specifically, be prepared to run into trouble if you are running a wireless 802.11b or 802.11g network (which uses the same frequency), 2.4ghz cordless phones, and microwaves. If you live in a condo/apt complex close to other neighbors, you will want to be sure they are not using products on this spectrum. Also, the 5.8ghz products have a range roughly 4 times as far as this and other 2.4ghz products.
  
  2. If you decide to go with this product, I recommend buying an extra long (6-12 feet) audio video cable so you can move the receiver around more flexibly. Be prepared to move it around to many areas and to spend time experimenting. It took me several hours before discovering a receiver/transmitter position and channel that worked reasonably well.

• Surprised that it actually works as advertised

  
  By A2LPIZJHE33AXK on 2004-05-11
  I've read a number of reviews of items such as this and I didn't have much hope for it. Typically these sorts of items sound better than they actually work. Often, interference that causes "beats", "pops", or "bars" across your screen make viewing unacceptable.
  
  I bought this unit in order to avoid fishing a coaxial cable through my walls from the cable box in my basement to a newly installed television upstairs. I am surprised and happy to report that it works much better than I had hoped!
  
  This unit differs from other similar devices (such as the X-10 video sender) in that the remote control secondary functionality is built in. This means that I can use a remote control upstairs to control the channels on my cable box in the basement right out of the box. Other units make you buy some additional product to get this functionality.
  
  Keep in mind that I'm not trying to send video across town... my two units are probably only 10 feet away from each other (through a floor) and the quality is excellent. The remote IR extender works great as well.
  
  Also, the unit I received is different from the one pictured here on Amazon. My units are actually each about half the size of those pictured. They must have re-designed the components to fit into a smaller enclosure.
  
  Doesn't get 5 stars because it is rather pricey for what it does. The quality is not perfect either... it's excellent, but certainly not perfect. There will undoubtedly be at least *some* random interference in the form of the occassional pop or static during your viewing session.
  
  Update (10/20/2004) - After nearly 6 months of use, this system is still working perfectly. I use it nearly every day.
  
  
• Works great after some fiddling
  By A25HLNZW27TLWI on 2005-01-06
  Just bought this product from B&H (the cheapest place that sold it I could find) and hooked it up. I wanted it to have DirecTV/Tivo combo unit in the bedroom without having to have a second DirecTivo device AND to have all my programs "shared" (i.e. not have to have the same Season Passes on both, and manually delete a program from both after watching it on one.)
  
  Installation was about 3 minutes and easy. Forget the manual; it's totally not required. The manual actually made it look much harder than the pure simplicity that the device is.
  
  I had some interference problems at first (fuzzy lines and audio pops appearing every second or so) until I adjusted the antennas (layed them flat was the trick for me) and the channels, which helped but didn't reduce it completely. I have no cordless phone so that wasn't a problem, but do use the Linksys Wireless-B Router w/ 4 port switch. That router and this device both share spectrum from the 2.4 GHz range. I set the router to use channel ONE and the Terk device to use the 4th channel to get the frequencies as far apart as possible. Once I did this, the picture improved dramatically and is essentially as good as a direct connection although it's hard for me to truly tell since the transmitting box with TV is an HDTV, and the TV connected to the receiving box is just a standard, so definately some quality differences, but similar to a convential picture quality.
  
  The remote control pass-through transmit part works very very well. It's really nice to have it totally built-in to this device without needing anything extra.
  
  My only concern with the device is that the built-in remote control IR extender plug only has ONE plug on it which only allows me to remotely control one device at a time since my TV set top boxes are scattered about. This probably isn't an issue for most people since their DVD player is probably right next to their VCR, etc, but for me it's a little bothersome. I think that RadioShack has an extra IR extender that I can wire into it to give me full remote control over multiple devices....
  
  Overall, an excellent product. Video and audio are perfect along with good working of the remote control through the walls as well. Simple installation and saved me hours of stringing a coaxial cable or others through the walls as well as getting all my Tivo programs watchable in multiple rooms... :-) Just make sure to adjust the antennas and channels, cordless phones, and wi-fi routers to eliminate interference and you're fine.
  
  
• works fine for me....
  By A3HR3RJQGGPIAC on 2006-01-20
  I wanted to put a flat panel LCD TV in my kitchen but didn't have a cable plug anywhere near that room. I had previously seen this item at Best Buy for $115.00 and thought it might be the solution to my lack of cable access. I found it here for less than 80.00 and thought it might be worth a try. (note that the newer units are about ½ the size pictured)
  
  I dug out an old VCR and hid it along with the wireless sender unit behind my entertainment center. I then ran the TV cable into the VCR and used the RCA video outputs to run the signal into the wireless sender. I hooked the receiver unit up to my LCD TV using the RCA cable output from the receiver and into the TV. Basically my LCD TV now works as a monitor. I can use my VCR remote through this product to change the TV channel. The picture is clear and the sound is fine.
  
  The sender and receiver units are only about 15 feet apart and it goes through one wall. I did need to adjust the antennas to point directly at one another or it didn't work well.
  
  Before buying this item I read the reviews and after hearing all the interference issues I was worried but bought anyway. I live in the end unit of an apartment and I have tons of wireless stuff so I had my doubts. I tested all four channels and it only worked well on channel three. I was pleasantly surprised! I have a D-Link 802.11g wireless router upstairs and I have NO interference on the TV. I also have a 5.8 GHz GE; a 2.4 GHz Conair; a 2.4 GHz V-Tech; and a GE 900 MHz cordless phone and NONE of them interfere with the signal. I also have a set of 2.4 GHz two way radios which have no impact. I've even taken each phone and my laptop into my kitchen to test it. There is no noticeable difference in the signal. However, the microwave does create some very nasty interference. Not convenient considering the TV's in the kitchen, but I'll live with it. To make a long story short, you should try it yourself before making a judgment about interference issues. Good Luck!
  =========== update ================
  It's been in use for four months now and... no change... the above review holds... In fact i'm getting ready to buy another one for the garage (where I keep the pool table). good luck
  
  
  
• Works great!
  By A2P47DAIU8EFAU on 2006-05-04
  This product works like a charm. Like many other devices (wifi, bluetooth, some cordless phones, microwave ovens, etc) this device uses the 2.4 GHz frequency. That does not mean you will get interference though. If you have a properly configured wifi network, your phone is spread spectrum or uses the 900 MHz or 5.6GHz, all your bluetooth devices are BT 1.2 complient, and you have a well shielded microwave oven, then you should get no interference from or to those devices.
  
  Complaints about interference by other reviewers are totally unjustified. One could just as easily blame their other household devices for causing the interference. And I tend to lean towards that conclcusion since I to use wifi, bluetooth, cordless phones, mircrowave ovens, etc. and I dont get interference. Most wireless devices use the same frequencies because there is a limited number of public frequencies. Its like buying a pair of walkie-talkies and then complaining that you can periodicly hear other people on the radios. I dont want to scare people, most people will experience no interference unless they turn on an interfering device. Once you realize any such device then you can either not use the said device or replace it with something else that does not interfere with the leapfrog.
  
  As I previously mentioned, I get perfect reception. The transmitter and receiver are about 20 feet apart and the signal is sent through two sheetrock walls. The tansmitter is directly in front of my 802.11 router, there are a number of wifi devices near the transmitter (<5 feet) and the receiver is close (few feet) to a PC with BT and wifi. My microwave oven is about 30 feet to the side of my receiver and through two other sheetrock walls.
  
  
• a real rarity.
  By A26E9Z2SOWOSW7 on 2006-07-05
  i've never written a product review before - but a product this bad needs to be called out.
  
  when i first purchased these (to transmit just audio - no video - from turntables on one side of the room to a receiver on the other), i excitedly opened up the box, followed the setup directions, specifically giving attention to the page which shows the unit's antenna oriented in both upward and downward directions. what the directions DON'T illustrate is the part when the antenna snaps at its base as soon as you apply even the slightest bit of pressure in a vertical direction.
  
  so now my antennas are flapping in the wind, and i'm feeling a bit disappointed, but i plug in the units anyway. okay, a periodic clicking sound on channel A. same with B. and C, and D. i check my microwave - it's off. and i don't have a home phone, so no chance of interference there.
  
  now i understand that a bit of interference is common with these systems. but as i have them set up, the units are only TEN FEET APART with a DIRECT LINE OF SIGHT to each other. weak.
  
  so i returned the units, attributing the signal problems to the antenna issue. got another one - same issues with a completely noisy audio signal when transmitting a whopping distance of ten unobstructed feet with no home phone anywhere in sight.
  
  garbage.
  
  
• 2.4G interference
  By on 2003-11-07
  Unwatchable with a 2.4G phone. Horizontal lines plus popping audio. I have a 802.11b 2.4G wireless network in the house which works fine with a 2.4G cordless phone, and also caused no interference with the Terk. The Terk and the phone however were unable to live together, so it's going to be headin gback to the shop...
  
  
• Probably great for simple transmitting, but my project was
  By A17MX3FFMBV8N3 on 2005-02-10
  Strengths:
  
  Performed as advertised. Simple hookup.
  
  Weaknesses:
  
  Lots of interference in small house with microwave, phone, etc. Picture quality highly degraded on large TV. No S-video cable option(didn't convert or "modulate" signal). "ears" seem breakable
  
  Summary:
  
  First, let me describe what I was attempting to do, since it wasn't your average hookup, probably. I was attempting to run my Cable TV wire coming into my house, into my HP MediaCenter PC Tuner card. Then, from my Tuner card, I wanted to run out using S-Video to the Terk transmitter device. From the Terk receiver, I wanted to run into the television. The goal: to record TV using my PC and also use my picture in picture feature to compute and have TV on at the same time, all without having to run wires across the room to my 55" sony. I reached the goal, but not with this product and not without wires.
  
  After MUCH anguish at realizing this product did NOT have an s-video IN port, I was stuck. The S-video is where you're going to get the highest quality picture, next to VGA (monitor) inputs. So, I had to go buy a modulator (walmart or best buy $30) that I could plug in an S-video cable, and plug "out" a composite (yellow, red, white) cable that would go to the Terk transmitter. This worked, but there was serious loss in picture quality (looked uncontrasted, too soft and fuzzy in appearance), especially when computing. There was really no comparison when looking at the wireless versus wired options in this scenario; the picture was just to clear compared to the use of the transmitters.
  
  
  Bottom line: If the picture quality were maintained, I would have kept them. Perhaps for your application, there would be no signal degradation. For just shooting cable from the living room to the bedroom, these would probably do a good job. But to avoid having to buy extra parts, make sure that what you're transmitting from has composite "out".
  
  
  
• Great Product
  By A3W4KPOIC56W3E on 2006-08-02
  I was looking for what would essentially be a wireless scan converter (for taking a vga computer signal and putting it out to tv). After a couple of months of searching, most that I found didn't have all the features I was looking for. Some would only support 640x480, some wouldn't have the right connectors, etc. Only two looked halfway decent and still nearly all the reviews I could find were very mixed as to quality of transmission, flicker, etc. These devices were also in the $150+ range.
  
  Finally, I came up with a solution, of which this unit is half. I found this wireless device, which had great reviews, and I (seperately) found a scan convertor with similarly great reviews. So my solution was this, plug laptop into scan convertor, plug scan converter into this, and eureka, I've got a wireless scan converter for around $120 shipped. Great solution, saved money, good experience all around.
  
  My initial test of this particular product was at a range of about 55 feet, through three walls (one of them length-wise) and the picture was great aside from a very slight flicker. From that test, I figured that with true line-of-site between the antennae, a person should be able to walk through the signal without any noticable degradation in picture quality. Needless to say, it works fantastic in my wife's classroom.
  
  As an added bonus, this device will relay infra-red remote control signals (nearly all tv, dvd, stereo remotes use infra-red) and if you position the relay just right, you can control multiple devices.
  
  For such a great product, I give 5/5 stars. The unit performed at least as well as I had hoped, is free from defects both visual and functional, and I received the product in a very timely manner. I'm not saying I'm overly awed by this product, but it does exactly what it says in exactly the way it says, and since I can find nothing negative to say about it, that's a 5/5 star rating in my book.
  
  
• May need to do some work
  By A25JNOHI9TREQ6 on 2006-08-31
  It is good to see many positive reviews for this. Don't be discouraged if you buy this and don't get good results. You may have to do some work. First, you must follow the directions and ensure the correct sides of the antennas are pointed at each other. Next, you must ensure you have a clean channel selected from one of the four choices. I got the worst reception at channels A and D, but B and C came in clearly. Pay special attention to all 2.4 GHz transmitters you own, by seeing what channels they transmit on. I found the interference was not my wavelan, but my Logitech wireless joystick, so check the bands and frequencies of everything in your home that is on 2.4 GHz and choose a channel that is not in use. This product as adequate, but you may have to do some troubleshooting to get the best out of it.
  
  
• SELECT THIS ALTERNATIVE
  By AV94O6BAF2U2U on 2004-10-11
  It works well if there is no cordless phones (GHz range operating ones)in the vicinity. I tried various setup configs but gave up due to Interference and distortions. Finally I chose the phone line transmitting one (since I had a phone line close by) and that really helped. The model number is LF-10s made by Terk also.see its review elsewhere by me here at amazon.
  
  
• It really does wok!
  By A340JGRTGN09JS on 2004-12-20
  I recently wired my basement for a projection TV, full sound system, etc but screwed up and did not run a wire for my TiVo output upstairs to the basement. Getting another TiVo wasn't as much money issue as having all the shows, etc at one source. I bought the Leapfrog in the hope that I would not have to cut through drywall.
  
  Bottom line: it works great! Set up was something like ten minutes. I initially had interference from my 2.4 GHz phone, which I was replacing anyway with a new 5.8 GHz system (Uniden- works great too). When I did that, I get the same image quality downstairs as upstairs (component video isn't great, but workable for TV). The IR relay works well, though I hear a quick buzz through the audio (low, but noticable) when any TiVo remote button is pressed. I get no interference with my 2.4 Ghz D-Link wireless network.
  
  This product saved me a tons of time, and will pay for itself in a few months.
  
  
• Works as advertised
  By ACZEH3C02DF9L on 2006-05-01
  I had been studying these types of units for some time and finally took the plunge when the price dropped on Amazon. The unit worked perfectly after I discovered that the extension cord to the transmitter was unplugged ;-) My wife thought that was hysterical.
  
  The only problem I encounted, as others have mentioned, was horizontal flickering white bars. I discovered these were due to our 2.4 ghz cordless phone and they went away when I unplugged it (which the instruction manual recommened in their troubleshooting section). For that reason, I'd now recommend a 5.x ghz unit if you have a cordless phone at 2.4. It may not be all phones, and I haven't yet experimented with moving mine around, so it may not be an issue.
  
  One other thing, and I didn't confirm it, it seemed to hose my wireless network, or at least my laptop being able to see it. I checked Tivo and it appeared not to be affected, showing the signal strength as "excellent". One possible reason could be that the laptop was in close proximity to the receiver so it could have been in the directional beam. On the other hand, the wireless network seemed to cause no interference to the audio or video transmission.
  
  UPDATE: 5/12/2006 - I just returned the unit today. After more testing, I discovered that my wireless network was also interfering with the signal causing little pops and clicks in the audio and slight video flickering. I tried moving things around and could not get rid of it. As much as I liked this product, it just won't work out here. I just ordered the RF Link AVS-5811 5.8 GHz Wireless from Amazon and await it's arrival.
  
  
  
• Great product, top notch signal
  By A1KL726AADR8KP on 2006-10-12
  After reading all of the good ratings and the bad, I decided to give this product a chance. After I got it today, I am astounded at how well it works. The sound and picture going from one floor to another is amazing. At first the sound had popping, but once I moved the unit and adjusted the antenna, it was almost silent.
  
  Since it is a 2.4 GHZ device, I was worried that it would interfere with my wireless internet. On the C setting there was interference and the B setting completely cancelled my signal. But on the A setting there is no issue whatsoever.
  
  This is a great product that definitely deserves a try if you can't afford/don't want another satellite receiver.
  
  
• Not acceptable in my application
  By A2QBDNNOVZTU2O on 2007-03-21
  My interest in this product was only to provide a high quality stereo audio link between a TV and amplifier - distance of only 20 feet. I never looked at the video transmission capability but found the audio link unacceptable due to interference from both a wireless telephone (800Mhz) system and wireless LAN (801.11g) also operating in the house. I returned the unit for refund.
  
  
• Doesn't work if you have wireless anything!
  By A32G8UU133SYLC on 2007-07-28
  We bought this system because we were moving furniture around our bedroom and thought it would be better than having a new cable outlet added. It set up really easy. There was some crackling and static on the screen. We read the troubleshooting tips and if you walk in front of the signal it goes black and it said to remove cordless phones. It wasn't too bad until we turned on our cordless phone to use it and the tv went nuts. Static and crackling. We have returned it because I can't imagine watching TV and never having the phone ring or not using the phone. Not worth the money or hassle!
  
  
• Almost Works
  By A3SRKP8KLU1EX1 on 2007-08-23
  This product "almost" worked for me. Distance from TV room to bedroom was about 60 ft. Picture looked good, but with occasional jumps. That might have been OK, but the audio had sporadic pops and hisses from interference. Turned off all wireless routers and phones, but no effect. Some channels were better than others, but none was acceptable. Tried all kinds of alignment and positioning with both antennas, but no help. Ability to transmit remote control signal was very impressive, but in the end the audio interference made the system unusable.
  
  
• Good product
  By on 2003-07-12
  Bought this from Circuit city for the same price. Works very well. Transmits picture and sound quite clearly. Only gripe - I am not able to find additional receivers sold seperately.
  Using the menu function you can fine tune the picture and once you have saved the setting you are good to go. I use this along with Ultimate XP pro scan converter to transmit streaming content from my computer to one of my TVs.
  
  
• Audio thumbs up, video needs some work though.
  By ATOILZNIQQSPS on 2004-09-03
  I own a condo and the second bedroom doesn't have cable, so I bought this to run from a cable tuner into a monitor in the second bedroom. I go the audio to work great as most of the devices around my house are 2.4 GHz or higher, but the video doesn't keep up all the time and the screen will occassionally flash if an extreme color change occurs on the screen (popular transition with shows like CSI). So, I decided to convert it to transmitting PC audio from the computer desk in the same bedroom out to the living room stereo. It is working great for that purpose.
  
  
• Wireless anything & this don't coexist.
  By A3PMPRSK213JDX on 2005-07-07
  If you are running anything cordless- Telephone, computer LAN etc. and you are going to opposite ends of the house and up/down stairs- SKIP this! Save yourself the time and find something else. You can adjust to your hearts' content- but nothing will fix the staticy sound and horrible picture.
  
  NO THANKS!
  
  
• too much money for too little range
  By A1ZU0DX0DJTKDI on 2005-12-27
  this is a good idea, and if a person has no conern over screen quality and only requires very limited range, it could be a decent product. But for anyone I can imagine, the dollars to performance ratio doesnt hold up. The manual itself says keep the signal high so to avoid people walking between the transmitter and receiver. That should tell you if you have a wall, much less two, you can expect a very poor picture on the receiving end. Ours had multiple horizontal white lines blinking at least until it was promptly returned. We'll stick with the old fashioned wire line until this is perfected.
  
  
• Works Great...Hardly any interference
  By A34KO3JNKTZU6Y on 2006-03-22
  I have used this product in the past and recently bought another from Amazon. (it was cheaper than Best Buy). I was concerned about possible interference from other wireless devices but I had no choice if I wanted TV in the kitchen. Anyway...the device works great. Reception is nearly perfect, there is no interference from anyother wireless device (router or phone) as long as I stay on channel A. TV is fuzzy when we use the microwave - but this isn't very often.
  
  
• easy and simple
  By A19XFGJ110CZNJ on 2007-01-23
  This is a great product. After reading the reviews I was a little hesitant to purchase this product. Got the box last nite and opened it this moring and was watching the tv in 10 min. Right out of the box setup was a snap. Picture isn't the best but for a wireless signal it fine. Did not have to do one thing except make all the conections. This is one great product.Works fine with all the other wireless product in my house router, phone and even my cell phone,didn't have to touch one button . Was set on channel D right from the box.
  
  
• Would of been perfect if not for the interference.
  By A3E5DOAY5VUB1E on 2007-05-28
  This would of been just what we needed for our kitchen TV if it had worked. I would of even bought a second receiver for a bedroom TV.
  
  In some situations I'm sure this does does work, which is why I'm giving it 3 stars rather than 1. However, although I was able to get rid of some of the interference by disabling the wireless portion of my router, I could do nothing to get rid of the rest of the interference which appeared to come from my neighbors wireless networks and/or cordless phones. If it had just been a bit of static in the video I could of maybe lived with it since the picture would of been better than over-the-air, but the constant clicking in the audio, 2-3 times a second, would have quickly drove me crazy. :) So I boxed it up and returned it to Amazon.
  
  I would like to add though that the unit I received was different than the one pictured. It had the same features and connections, but was constructed so you could set it up either vertically or horizontally. That would be nice if you are short of space. Of course you still have to deal with the antennas which must have their flat "+" sides facing each other.
  
  
  
• Run away!!
  By AVZRHUYM9PN6O on 2007-07-07
  This product was so sensitive to interference from other devices that even after powering off all the cordless phones in the house, powering down all PCs with wireless and the wirelesss router, my neighbors equipment still caused static in the picture. BTW the distnace between transmitter and receiver was 10 feet without any obstructions at all.. What a waste of money.
  There should be a lower rating than 1 for this one...
  
  
• Take just a little time setting it up.
  By on 2004-02-12
  I found that, yes, objectionable interference from other wireless items can be a problem. But with a little patient adjustment of your various components, all works flawlessly. One tip that worked for me on elimimating audio popping, turn way down the sound on the destination audio and turn up the sound from the origination audio to compensate. Problem solved.
  
  
• AudioVox isn't answering its phone

  We installed this wireless receiver Dec. 20, 2004 and were generally pleased with it until it stopped working 10 months later. I called and was told to return it by trackable method, and I did. We received another unit the next week, but:
  1. The unit we received has the same product name, LF-30S, but isn't the one shown in the picture--which is the one we sent back. We were sent a smaller, flimsier model with manual on off switch and shorter cables. It isn't working, either.
  
  2. I have been unable to contact the company on their 800#. We don't have a signal to that tv, so we can't use it. Running wires to this tv is a problem in this timber frame construction, and we need a wireless receiver.
