Congratulations!
The Kenwood FinelineTM RFU-6100 RF Wireless System eliminates the long wires that run from
your A/V receiver to your surround speakers. Our RF wireless technology works with any
conventional surround speaker, so you are free to choose any brand and model of surround
speaker, or you can use it with surround speakers that you already own. This sheet explains
how to connect and set up the system's RF transmitter and RF receiver units.
