so i get that the transmitter is attached to the receiver/output. Does the transmitter require an ac outlet?
Secondly on the speakers : is there a ac outlet needed to power one or both, and is there a speaker cable running between the left and right speakers?
These would go outdoors and I need to know what cables would be running and power requirements.

Do you mean that if the TV or, say, maybe a satellite box has audio outputs, then this device will work?

Ryan,

Does your TV have aux or rca inputs? If so, yes you can use these.

Can you use this with a tv without having a receiver? For instance, say i have a flat panel tv, it has no speakers, can i use this with the flat panel alone and get sound?

The transmitter does not connect to speaker terminals. The transmitter simply works as a wireless range device. It has a pair of RCA inputs that can be used for plugging source units like CD players to it directly, or to a receiver with pre-outs if you want to use the speakers as surrounds.

The left channel speaker is active, so it is already amplified. The right channel is passive. You simply connect the passive speaker to the active speaker. The active left channel speaker also has a line out and sub-woofer input. This is done for those who do not have a receiver.

You won't lose any inputs or speaker capabilities since connectivity and zone capabilities lies solely on what your receiver is capable of doing in this case.

I'm not sure if that answered Lil's question as I have the same one? Does the JBL transmitter plug into the available speaker terminals (ie. B speakers) on the back of the receiver/amplifier and transmit or do you have to plug it into the headphone jack, losing the A speaker capability in say your living room in the process? A similar apparatus which may be what Lil is after is the Goodman's GAD100 RF transmitter mate which looks like it can be used with a host of wireless speakers. A friend of mine has the squeezebox and runs music off the computer, and as nice as it is I can't justify ditching the stereo equipment I've built up over the years, but I am interesting in adding on to it.

Does this include a docking station that charges my ipod while playing?

The transmitter itself is the receiver. Now, if you want to connect the JBL's itself to your own receiver, then the zone capabilities is entirely reliant on your receiver and what it can do.

Personally, if I wanted to run multiple zones of audio in my home, I would look into something like the Squeezebox from Logitech, or Sonos. It's a much better solution.

I have a question -- If I'm using this with my receiver (connecting the transmitter into the receiver) will all the sound go to the JBL wireless speakers or can I have stereo sound on the JBL's out on the patio and in the house through my wired speakers? Maybe it depends on my receiver and its capabilities. I believe I have "A" speaker and "B" speaker outputs similar to having 2 zones. I'm not clear how/where the transmitter actually "connects" to the receiver.

Any advice?

Craig, simply connect the wireless transmitter/receiver to your laptop and you will have access to your audio files on the laptop. From there you can place the speakers anywhere and listen to them.

The speakers and controls are wireless, the transmitter has to be connected to your source. Think of it like how you would a wireless router.

How will a laptop interface with the wireless device that then transmits the signal to speakers? Can the laptop send the signal to the wireless transmitter and then get sent on to the speaker? In this way one could use a laptop wirelessly to be streaming audio wirelessly to speakers in the house. Is this possible with this system?
