IR Repeater Kit, IR Repeater System, IR Remote Control Extender

Works as expected. Easy to set up – just plug in power, attach emitters, and place the receiver where your remote can see it. Signal passes through reliably with no delay.Cable length is good for most setups. The LED status light is helpful for confirming power and signal.For the price, it's a solid solution if you need to hide devices in a cabinet or extend remote range. Would recommend.

I have a SofaBaton universal remote which works great as far as features, and controls. However, it seems to have a pretty weak IR transmit LED, and some devices don't respond so great to it. I purchased this booster to overcome the weakness of the remote itself. The individual LED's that attach to the separate pieces of equipment don't really seem to adhere well, but the cable is really long so you can use them with a pretty large console that spreads your equipment out. The main receiver sensor that actually "sees" your remote signal was not well put together. It seems a really cheaply made piece, but I put a dot of glue on it so the housing won't open, and it works flawlessly. Once put together, I found that leaving the devices facing forward led to unreliable operation. You get best performance when you block external signal from the remote getting to the devices. If you are buying this unit in order to hide all your equipment, and just have the external main sensor visible that is a great application. In my case, my AV console has an open front, so I just put some small pieces of dark paper over the LED sensor areas. That blocks the remote from getting signal directly to the device, and ONLY the signal from the booster is triggering any functions. A nice feature is that when you try to trigger a device, the main sensor has an LED that blinks to confirm an IR signal is getting there. Once I had things properly configured, I was able to reliably use the remote a good 20 feet away from the console. I am extremely happy with the end result.

Two female 3.5mm Jack ports fell off the circuit board when the male plugs were installed. One input and #4 output port. Unfortunately, trouble shooting other devices took a lot of time and took me off track from the real problem! (This low quality device!) I suggest looking elsewhere. Now I can’t return it. Picture shows device opened up and two loose female Jack ports.

This IR repeater kit is exactly what I was looking for! If you own a Marantz or Denon receiver/processor—or any AV equipment with an "IR Flasher In" 3.5mm port—this is the perfect solution. I'm using it with a Marantz 8805 AVP, and it’s working flawlessly. You’ll also need a male-to-male 3.5mm TRS (or TS) cable. Additionally, if you plan to place the repeater near your receiver, processor, or rack, you might need a TRS 3.5mm extension cable (male to female) for flexibility. I did not need any of the IR blasters this IR repeater comes with, since my unit has an IR input jack. I recommend this product for its reliability and ease of use.

My universal remote ships with a dock that has very wimpy IR transmit strength. Using this IR repeater, I was able to use a 3.5mm cable out from my remote dock, into this blaster, and out to the emitters. All of my issues with missed commands has 100% gone away. Extremely easy to set up and compact, it blends right in on my media shelf. No complaints!

Works well.

I bought this kit after trying a cheaper kit that burned out on the second use. This one I am very happy with. Comes with everything you need in the box. The little converter box is small enough to be mounted anywhere. It can be powered by either the included "wall wort" power cord, or can be hardwired into a 12 volt power like you would find in an RV or camper. The receiver is well designed and can be mounted vertically or horizontal, and has a little raceway built in for the cord so it will lay flat against whatever you adhere it to. There is an LED in the receiver too so you can tell when it is receiving commands from your remote. There's no constant power light either, which for me is ok. Theres no obnoxious light that is on when you're trying to sleep. The cords are nice and small in diameter and don't take up much room in a raceway, but yet long enough to reach whatever you need to control. The adhesive pads are nice and strong, but feel like they can be removed without damaging the surface. I have not tried to remove anything yet however, so this is speculative. Happy with the purchase and recommend this for any component that is stored in a cabinet and controlled via IR, whether that is in a camper, or your home entertainment center.

I needed to put the sensor 100ft away from the main unit. The included cable is not long enough which I knew going in. I planned to cut the cable and splice it into 4 wire 26 AWG telephone type wiring. There was not enough information in the installation guide to do this with out using a multimeter to ohm out the cable to the plug. But once I got it connected, it works great.
