Cable Matters Infrared Remote Extender Cable, IR Repeater, 1.8m

My Blu-ray player is in the room next door with the Denom AV in the media box. I was using my tv remote for my Blu-ray player but there were many instances where it wouldn’t work and I’ll need to head into the other room to use the Blu-ray remote. Nightmare. Found this as a solution and it works perfectly. Can also use it for my denom too as they are both in the same box. Very easy to install, wire is thin so easy to get through the wall to the Blu-ray player. Great value for money.

Our Blu-Ray player is located in a unit which is out of the line of sight of the infrared remote control when you're sitting watch a film. Consequently, any time you need to pause, rewind, eject etc a film, you have to stand, point the remote at the player, and keep stabbing buttons until the player responds (it never works first time). It's a frustrating experience and often spoils enjoyment of the film. To fix the problem, I'd initially tried to buy a new Blu-Ray player that has a wireless remote, rather than an IR remote - like all our other AV devices we have in the room - but it appears such a player does not exist, at any price. It seems the only remedy is an IR relay. The Cable Matters Infrared Remote Extender Cable was quickly installed and worked straight away. After a bit of experimentation (hint - tape the receiver and emitter in position with masking tape at first to find the most effective location, before using the attached adhesive to fix them permanently in position). The receiver is sensitive enough for you not to need a clear line of sight for it to respond, the devices are small enough that you barely notice them and it works first time, every time. Watching films at home is now a much more enjoyable experience. So, problem solved - and for a great deal less than the cost of a new Blu-Ray player.

Finally a solution to a poor IR receiver on my Sony AVR. I tried several 3.5mm options to connect to the IR jack on the AVR - none worked. This isn't quite as neat (needs the transmitter stuck over the IR sensor on the front of the AVR). However - it works rally well. I can point the remote almost anywhere now and it works - previouslt need to point it exactly at the IR sensor. Great value - needs a necent USB power supply.

Oh, one end is a reciever and the other is a transmitter. It doesnt transmit via the usb plug. You need to know that or you will lose days off your life

Works REALLY well. Only drawback, I need to plug into a wall charger. It doesn't pull much power, so a battery pack keeps turning off. I'm using to control a small Pattern light projector as a backdrop for musicians. ``the remote only has a short range ( and needed to be in front of it) this has sorted my dillema.

New KEF XIO soundbar hid the infra red detector works perfectly

Why did you choose this product over others?: Appeared adequate for my needs Value for money: Good price, but range very limited. It is necessary to stand within 3 metres of the receiver sensor to achieve reliable channel changing and other functions

Excellent product Very easy to install no setup required Worked straight away Now I can control my 4k blu ray player as it sits behind my projector screen on the racking, been a pain trying to setup 3d movies with screen down, this solves that problem *****

Funciona adecuadamente. Sirve para mandar la. Señal a los aparatos que tengo en un closet y muy bien. Sólo hay que posicionar bien el emisor para que no haya fallas

Ottimo prodotto, funziona benissimo ed è facile da installare

For years we have struggled with contolling the volume of our Sony Audio player connected to our television. Then I wondered if anyone made an IR repeater. The answer was indeed, YES. So I began looking for. Some come with nothing but wires to glue to your devices. Then I saw one that satisfied our needs. It arrived overnight. It had three comonents, a receiver, a USB plug for power, and a transmitter. Perfect. All three were labled - no instructions needed although there were instructions. My wife removed the adhesive from the receiver and placed it on the top of our 80 inch tv. The shee plugged the USB in a spare port and then removed the adhesive from the transmitter and placed it on another corner of our TV. All the wiring is behind the TV. Took us 10 minutes and it works perfectly from 15 feet away. A blue LED lights up steady when a good signal is recived and rapidly blinks if it detects a signal but not strong enough to repeat. I give 5 stars for simplicity, economy, and ease of installation. I would incluide a photo but everything is behind the tv or just poking out where it is barely visable.

It works fine but has a giant blue light that lights up when you press a button or when it detects any kind of IR activity. Would be nice to be able to turn that light off

I replaced an ancient Harmony remote that used a saucer sized, mains powered IR blaster with a newer programmable remote with the IR transceiver in the front of the remote. It worked fine with our TV, but with an old Roger's cable box in the TV stand was intermittent and often did not work at all. I got this, pushed the cable box to the very back of the cabinet (so it was shielded from sunlight, etc), put the big end of on top of the cabinet right under the TV's IR transceiver, and the little end in the cabinet an inch or so in front of the cable box transceiver -- had to do a bit of research to figure out exactly where that was in the front panel, but once I got it in the right place this completely solved the problem and has been working 100% for months since then. The USB jack in the back of the cable box provides the extender power. Unobtrusive, cheap, simple, and a real sort of life saver.
