Congratulations on your purchase of a Rocketfish RF-RBREC
Amplified Audio Receiver that is part of the Rocketboost™ system.
The receiver uses the Rocketboost proprietary 2.4 GHz wireless
communication technology. The receiver supports high-end
surround systems including support of HD audio for new sources like
Blu-ray. By using one or multiple receiver of RF-RBREC in combination
with your Rocketfish RF-RBKIT Wireless Starter Kit, you can build up a
7.1-channel home theater or a multiple remote zones, and the
system is compatible with the high definition Blu-ray technology.
Without the hassle of custom installation, the receiver offers quick
setup and total audio entertainment, without having to hide speaker
wires.

How does Rocketboost™ work?
Rocketboost technology can connect all audio devices throughout
your home to form a convenient, private, and secure home audio
network.
Every Rocketboost network must contain a device called a manager,
which directs network data traffic and helps devices join the network.
The network can have only one manager, which is selected using the
Hub switch on the back of all Rocketboost transmitters. See the User
Guide for instructions on connecting (“joining”) devices to the
network.
Each transmitter sends its own, two-channel stereo signal around the
network, and any receiver can access the audio signal from any of the
transmitters.
Rocketboost also features an innovative volume control that can be
changed at the receiver or the transmitter. For example, when the
transmitter's volume level is changed, all receivers listening to that
signal have the same change in volume.
Rocketboost also features a global mute feature that instantly
silences all connected devices. When turning off mute, only the
signal stream that received the “unmute” command is effected.
We hope you enjoy your new Rocketboost system. Remember that
it's designed to grow with your home entertainment needs, and that
it's easy to add a new device to the network as you expand your
entertainment system.
