Product Overview & Features
The JLINK TRX system uses state-of-the-art wireless technology to send
audio signals up to 100 feet away (30 meters). Broadcasting at an ultra-
high frequency of 2.4 GHz, the JLINK TRX delivers crystal-clear, stereo
sound anywhere throughout your home.

Placement Considerations:
The transmitter and receiver modules may be situated in any position,
however their placement should be away from heat generating
sources, such as amplier or receiver heat sinks. Also ensure that each
module’s placement does not interfere with the ventilation of other
components.
Although mounting is not necessary, you may use the supplied hook
& loop fastener tape to ax the modules to a at surface on a cabinet
wall, rack or component. If you choose not to mount the modules,
make sure they are placed on a at, stable surface to prevent damage
from falling.
Connecting the Transmitter
1. Select the source device that you wish to transmit audio signal from
and power OFF that device.
2. Connect the JLINK transmitter’s RCA line inputs to your source
device’s RCA line outputs.
3. Plug the smaller end of the AC power adaptor into the transmitter’s
power jack. Plug the larger end of the AC power adaptor into a
standard A/C wall outlet.
4. Using the bottom-mounted switch, select one of three output
channels to broadcast your audio signal. Note: The transmitter and
receiver need to be set to the same channel.
Connecting the Receiver – Option A
(when using RCA connections)
1. Select the device that you wish to send the audio signal to and
power OFF that device.
2. Connect the JLINK receiver’s RCA line outputs to your device’s RCA
line inputs.
3. Plug the smaller end of the AC power adaptor into the receiver’s
power jack. Plug the larger end of the AC power adaptor into a
standard A/C wall outlet.
4. Set the receiver’s bottom-mounted switch to the same channel as
the transmitter.
Connecting the Receiver – Option B
(when using JLINK port)
1. Select the JLINK compatible device that you wish to send the audio
signal to and power OFF that device.
2. Set the receiver’s bottom-mounted switch to the same channel as
the transmitter.
3. Plug one end of the supplied cable into the JLINK receiver’s JLINK
port. Plug the other end of the cable into the JLINK port of the
compatible device. The JLINK receiver will transfer its audio signal
and receive its power connection directly through this cable. Note:
When connected in this manner, the JLINK receiver’s AC power
jack and RCA output connections should NOT be used.
