Introduction
AR’s Wireless Indoor/Outdoor Speaker eliminates the hardest part of
adding speakers to almost any location in your home – running and
hiding hundreds of feet of speaker wire. As a water-resistant speaker,
the AW811 will withstand the effects of exposure to light moisture
(drizzle rain, dew from grass, etc.). Like FM radio, the AR Wireless
Speaker System’s 900MHz signal travels with ease through walls, floors,
ceilings and other obstacles, delivering high-quality sound virtually
anywhere inside the house or out. With drift- and static-free reception
along with outstanding range – up to 300 feet* – the possibilities for
enjoying your AR Wireless Speaker System are nearly unlimited.
The AR Wireless Indoor/Outdoor Speaker is compatible with most audio
sources, such as TVs, DVD players, VCRs, A/V receivers/amps, stereos,
computers, and portable devices (CD players, cassette players, MP3s,
etc.).
This manual covers various connection options and detailed operating
instructions for making the AR Wireless Indoor/Outdoor Speaker a
valued part of your lifestyle. If, after having reviewed the instructions,
you have any questions, please contact our Customer Service
Department at 1-800-732-6866.
