Works well! Installs in less than 5 minutes

I now have three of these receivers for each of my two Denon receivers. The first worked fine. The second one I ordered was defective but the return from Amazon was hassle free. The third works fine. For the price this is a good product. Setup takes no more than 5 minutes. A little trick is to find out where the infrared sensor is located on the receiver. It's not always obvious. The relay sensor should be located over this area on the front of the receiver. To determine this, hold the remote a

Works very well no missing relays

I'm happy to give a quick review of this because it has worked very well for me and my setup. I put all my devices (DVR, DVD, Revain Firestick, Google Chromecast, and HDMI switch) in a closet, then got an HDMI splitter to duplicate HDMI over two long 50-foot runs (one for a 3D -TV and one for a projector). ). Since I had 2 different locations I used 2 inputs and 4 outputs for each of the devices, allowing me to switch channels from 2 different rooms and use the same devices! I like it! Thisโ€ฆ

Simple solution to hiding your components

I bought one of these a few years ago to install my TV in a built in cabinet. DirecTV is RF, so don't worry. But the BlueRay was IR so I needed a remote extender. The "receiver" sits in the middle of my soundbar and is very invisible. A bit of wire management resulted in hidden components in the closet. It can connect multiple devices and since it is an IR repeater, the original remotes will work with all devices. I recently installed a surround system in another room with components also in aโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Some bugs

Great little kit for using remote controls in closets

This kit is used to transmit infrared commands from remote controls to devices in closets. Now I have a clean install and most of the components for my home theater are hidden in the cabinet. There were plenty of ports for all my devices. I have two small complaints: 1) The adhesive that is supposed to attach the emitter to the device is lousy and falls off immediately. However, this can easily be remedied with a small strip of tape! 2) The cable for the receiver (a small device that staysโ€ฆ

Major Defects

The box the beast is nested in is impressive! This is where the positive impressions end. First, the bandwidth it receives is greater than the bandwidth it can transmit. This is not mentioned anywhere in the product description, but it is clearly stated in the instructions. Second, the sticky pads don't stick. They all fell off - receiver and transmitter - in less than 24 hours. Yes, I understand you don't want anything permanent, but that's unacceptable. I ended up punching a hole in the 3Mโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Absolutely Amazing!
Cons
  • Empty

Great for hidden home theater gear

I may be old school, but I still have quite a lot of home theater gear - cable box, BluRay player, HTPC and amp - all in a tinted glass case front. Unfortunately, this setup requires you to carefully aim the remote at the device you're trying to control, and sometimes an action won't register as the glass front reduces IR sensitivity. This IR repeater helped a lot. I placed the receiver directly under the TV and moved the transmitters to the closet. Transmitters have small sticky pads forโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • No power

Works exactly as I expected

So the repeater does exactly what it was designed to do. Everything you need to manage up to 10 devices is included. 5 long transmitter cables, two transmitters per connector and one receiver connector. The body is made of metal, heavy and durable. Don't worry about that. Each of the transmitter cables must be neatly separated at the ends to reach each device. As a result, there were no breaks in the wires. I had one case where the adhesive on one of the transmitters didn't initially stick toโ€ฆ

  • Long delivery time
