User questions & answers

Question:	Is this compatible with a tcl riki tv
Answer:	I am assuming you mean a TCL Roku TV correct? I just purchased this for mine and it works like a charm. With one caveat, if you power it with the USB from the TV, you have to manually turn the TV on to activate power to the USB. If you power it will and external USB power supply you will be able to turn the TV on and off. Also keep in mind the TV's IR receiver is on the bottom of the screen in the middle in a whitish plastic area below the screen.
Question:	Does the transmitter portion need to be directly over the device to be controlled, or can it be a few feet away in line of sight
Answer:	As long as in line of sight.
Question:	Which is the receiver and which is the emitter?? One is larger than the other
Answer:	The picture depicts from left to right the receiver, the emitter and the USB. The receiver is the larger one.
Question:	Where exactly do you put the emitter on the cable box? Only the volume and power are working on the remote
Answer:	I reviewed this item as junk; the emitter being the issue. You need to look through (use a flash lite) the (usually red) cover on the cable box and find its emitter. You then need to place the "all in one' emitter DIRECTLY over it. Good luck getting it to work.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this work with direct tv mini genie
Answer:	It should work with any IR device.
Question:	Can you cover up the red light or will it affect signal? The red light is really distracting
Answer:	If your referring to the red light on the IR receiver, the little black thing that catches the signal from your remote and is stuck to the front of your TV, don’t put anything in front of it. It will block the signal. You can buy another one that has no red light. Just a clear plastic receiver that lights up when you press a button on the remote.
Question:	Is there a longer antenna available? I have two walls in between the cable box and tv and the signal is very weak or doesn’t work most of the time
Answer:	Hi there, I am with BAFX Products. A long antenna is not available however assuming that these are standard construction walls, the kit should be able to pass through them without issue. Please contact us directly so that we can assist further and help figure this out with you! We look forward to hearing from you! Regards, BAFX Products
Question:	What is the rf frequency of the device? i need to homologate, can you provide the rf specs
Answer:	Hi there, I am with BAFX Products. The kit operates on 433.92MHz If there is anything else we can help with, please do let us know. Best regards, BAFX Products

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this work with newest Spectrum Arris device
Answer:	It works with my new Arris DCX3510M HD DVR box. However the IR reception range is only 7-8 ft max. And you will need a separate USB power supply because the Arris USB ports only work when the box is on.
Question:	How close does the IR emitter need to be to the device receiving the signal
Answer:	The smallest one needs to be right on point to work. You will need a second person to help while you adjust and they try the remote.
Question:	Does it have to be Synced to the remote
Answer:	No. This is a simple device that simply passes on the infrared signal. Whatever the remote shoots into this device's receiver will be transmitted to the other end. It took only minutes to set this up. We put cable box behind the TV screen. Attached the receiver end to the underside of the TV, near current remote sensor just so it is the same target area you are used to, the other end of the extender gets aimed at the cable box on the other side. The cable box has USB so that was used for the power. Amazing product
Question:	What does 10feet mean
Answer:	Means 10 feet long from starting to end.

User questions & answers

Question:	when it is receiving an ir signal from the hand-held TV remote? Does remote sensor have a led to indicate
Answer:	Yes, everything was fine and very fast. Whenever it detects an IR signal from any source then the indicator is blink.
Question:	What is length of this receiver cable
Answer:	The length of receiver cable is 5ft
Question:	Is there an extension available for the receiver module? 5' isn't long enough for my setup
Answer:	I have used these for years where the receiver may not be right at the cabinet or closet location. I normally extend the cable using an shielded 2 conductor cable. I have also used non shielded with no issues, but i believe the included cable has a shield. I have not tested the length it would be good for, but i have gone at least 50' this way.

Product description

Multizone: Protect from Interference Most IR extenders are programmed to pass any signal that is sent through the receiver. Sometimes this may disrupt your setup as a few devices in your closet run on a similar IR frequency and cause interference with one another. The Multizone feature protects your devices from interference from other devices. This gives you the ability to have certain devices controlled only from specific areas in your setup. This has been a requested feature from many of our customers as they have extended IR signals but unintentionally were controlling two devices located in the same space. Cable boxes have especially been a pain since multiple cable boxes are easier to have based in the same area. Now with the BlastIR Wireless Multizone you are able to ensure you will only control the box that is attached to one of your TVs and not the other. The Channel IR System The Multizone feature works on a 10-channel system, this system gives you the ability to interact with your devices without needing to worry about your Wireless Extenders interfereing with one another. The system also gives you the option of using any number of transmitters or receivers on any given channel. This gives you complete freedom of choice for where your displays and devices can be placed without having to complicate your setup. The BlastIR Wireless Multizone Receivers will only communicate with the BlastIR Wireless Multizone Emitters that are set to the same channel. If you happen to own the classic BlastIR Wireless, this product will also work with it. Channel 0 on this product will allow IR signals to be sent between the two diffferent versions.

• NOTE Some devices us RF instead of IR for remote control. The Blast IR Wireless Pro only works with IR devices.
• 10-channel system that gives you the ability to interact with your devices without needing to worry about your Wireless Extenders interfering with one another
• Included USB and AC power cables, extra IR cables, mounting adhesive, and rubber feet
• Known compatibility issues with: Yamaha HTR 6140 and Arris DCX 3520E-M

User questions & answers

Question:	I can't figure out where the connections (V+/G/ST/IR) go from the wall receiver to the main unit (+12VDC/GND/Status/Signal) - help pls
Answer:	They connect from from the receiver to the main unit via standard telephone cable (CAT3) not supplied. V+ is +12VDC, G is GND(or the minus side of the power supply), ST is the status LED and IR is the signal.
Question:	Does this work with FIOS 7xxx HD DVRs
Answer:	It works perfect with va comcast DVR. So I magazine other DVRs will work. You'll have to find the right spots to place the 2 sensors for best performance. The only device that the infrared device doesn't work well with is an older Sony reciever I have hooked up. I only get volume control with this.
Question:	What is the maximun length of cable that the BlastIR can support? Will it reach over 150ft Cat5e cable to send it's repeated signal
Answer:	Yes.
Question:	can I operate 2 televisions off of 1 cable box
Answer:	I have a TV and cable box in my man cave and HDMI ran overhead to a TV in adjoining exercise room. I have an HDMI splitter in the man cave. I want to simply be able to use the cable remote from the man cave TV to change channels from the exercise room, going through one wall. I'll just take the remote to whichever room I'm in. Do I need anything else other than this item. I couldn't ask all this in the questions, maybe someone will see this answer, sounds similar. I'm already operating 2 TVs off a single cable box with a splitter but want to use the remote in both rooms.

Product features

Multi-Zone Control

The BlastIR Wireless Pro supports up to 10 zones with independent sending/receiving frequencies. (kind of like different channels on a walkie-talkie). You can change the zone by using a very small rotating switch located at the bottom of the receiver and emitter pucks. The Receivers will only communicate with the Emitters that are set to the same zone. You can also purchase extra Emitters, or Receivers individually if you do not need an extra full pair.

All-to-All

The BlastIR Wireless Pro can be set to send the signal from All Receivers To All emitters by setting all the units to the same "Channel" or "Zone"

Zone-To-Zone

The BlastIR Wireless Pro can be set to only send the Signal from one Receiver to specific emitters.

User questions & answers

Question:	I currently require two remotes to control all my audio/TV equipment. I cannot get them all onto one master remote. Do I need two systems
Answer:	No you do not need two systems. This unit simply relays IR signal(s) sent from any remote to your devices hidden away. You stick one of the four IR blasters coming out of the unit on the IR eye of each of your devices and the IR receiver on the edge of your TV. Then you point any remote at TV and press button. The signal will leave your remote to the IR receiver and through the cord the unit. From there the unit will replay the signal to all 4 IR blasters that are placed on the IR eyes of your devices (STB, DVD, AV Receiver, etc...)
Question:	This item can work with my logitech harmony one remote
Answer:	Yes. The way this system is designed it will basically pick up any remote using IR technology, which is what the Logitech remote uses. Cheers!
Question:	Can anyone say with certainty this WILL work with directv dvr and directv genie plus other components? Seems there are several conflicting opinions
Answer:	I have this BAFX Repeater, and I also have the DTV HR54-700 satellite box. The repeater does NOT work at ALL with this satellite box. The IR signals come from my Philips Pronto TSU7000 - AND the repeater works FINE with all other connected devices Such as my Sharp Aquos TV, the LED Bias Lighting module on the back of that, a Denon receiver, RCA receiver, and a Philips DVD player The Pronto works intermittently with the satellite box by itself - as long as it is NOT too close to the satellite box As soon as I put the BAFX emitter over the IR receiver window - - IR stops working. I've put up to 6 layers of painters tape over the window - - NOTHING. And Yes - - I have verified (watching with a digital camera: NOT an iPhone) - the emitter sends an IR signal when the BAFX system receives one. - SO - - My thoughts: DTV may be using a different IR light wavelength than what is transmitted by the BAFX. The question of course is - - WHY would DTV do that ?? Answer is ea$y to figure out. It's $o you can't u$e an all-in-one remote - - you have to RENT one of their$
Question:	What is the length of the receiver cable
Answer:	The receiver cable length is about 5 feet. You can buy a CAT5 extender setup which allows you to go much further here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B016VEFI00/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_GsokEbPHY5B42

How the IR Repeater Kit works

The setup is very is simple.



You will simply place the included distribution block in a location near where you wish to keep the devices you need to control with your remotes. From this block, you will run the provided IR receiver cable (or the eye of the kit) from the distribution block and place it in a location where you can point the remote control at, this may be on the bezel of the TV, on a shelf ledge, the wall or other such locations. You will need to place this IR receiver no further than 30' from where you will be using the remote control.



Now, plug one of the emitter cables into the distribution block and run that cable to where you have your devices being controlled located. You will place one emitter head from this cable over the IR receiver on the devices being controlled.



Lastly, simply plug the repeater kit into power using the supplied power adapter and you're ready to go!

Compaitibility

Many people wonder if our kit is compatible with a particular device.

Additional Important Notes

Plugging directly into IR ports on devices: On some devices you may notice IR in/out ports. You MAY be able to use a Male to Male cable to connect our kit with such devices. We cannot promise that this will always work. It will depend on whether the device manufacturer has wired their port the same was as our kit and also handles the signal in the same manner. We have verified that many Onkyo & Denon devices do work with this but cannot make promises as to this.



Plasma TV's: Plasma TV's emit stray infrared signals. In some rare cases these stray signals may interfere with operation of the kit. In such cases simply moving the IR receiver slightly further from the TV will resolve this issue. LED & LCD TVs do not have this problem.



Extending via CAT5 lines: For this we offer a prepackaged CAT5 adapter kit that may be purchased separately. The parts may also be obtained individually on their own as needed.

Product description

This newly designed 38-56 kHz Wideband STB IR Receiver Extender is made and sold exclusively by Inteset Technologies. It will work with nearly all Cable Set Top Boxes and DVRs that have an active IR IN port. Previously you had to choose either the 38 kHz or the 56 kHz model. This product eliminates having to make that choice but it will not work with all A/V devices. Please check compatibility below.



This allows you to hide your STBs and DVRs behind closed doors in a cabinet or closet. The small receiver bud (1 1/4"L x 7/8"W x 5/8"H) will handle all of the same functions as if your device was out in the open. It comes with self stick tape on the back of the IR bud for easy installation. Be sure to mount the bud with a straight line-of-sight to your remote.



It will work with most Comcast Xfinity and Verizon FIOS boxes as well as other cable providers that use Arris, Cisco, Scientific Atlanta and Motorola boxes except those noted below.



It will NOT WORK with AT&T Uverse STBs, Motorola DCT or DCH Series, QIP2500, QIP6000 Series, DISH or DirectTV boxes. These models and some models specific to particular cable providers either do not have an IR IN port or that port is not active. The 4250 HDC is one of those. It also will NOT WORK with A/V Receivers, Amplifiers, TVs or IR Repeater Systems as the connectors are usually wired differently. If you have any questions about compatibility, contact us before you buy any extender.



If you have any questions or issues you can contact us at: "universalremotes.net"

• WORKS ONLY w/CABLE Set Top Boxes (STB). Please check your device to be sure you have an active 3.5 mini input port labeled "IR IN". Contact us if you have any questions about compatibility before you buy.
• 20-25 ft range from remote control to IR receiver. High Immunity to ambient light and noise
• Highly Reliable with high sensitivity for wide range. Works great with our INT-422 Remote
• 6 ft shielded cable, 3.5 mini plated stereo plug. Tip-VCC 5V, Center-Data, Lower-Ground
• Works with all Universal Remotes and most Cable Boxes with an active IR IN jack

Answer:	A better choice is below but this will also work. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00YFC2IQ8?ref=myi_title_dp
Question:	What is the length of the cords
Answer:	Cable is 6 feet but can be extended to over 50 feet with a standard extender cable.
Question:	Does this fit for charter spectrum box
Answer:	Hi, that is what I used it for (Charter Spectrum Cable Box). It works fine, but note that you should have the cable box pluged in and turned on before you install the IR receiver/extender into the IR port on the back of the cable box.
Question:	Will this work for Harmony hub
Answer:	This is a receiver and the Harmony hub doesn't have a IR Input port, so this isn't a product that can be used with Harmony. What you need is an emitter.

Simple to set up and use

Getting started is a snap. First, plug the transmitter into a standard power outlet, and place it in a location where you can comfortably aim your remote - beside your television, for example. Next, plug the receiver into a standard power outlet, and position it in front of the audio/video components you want to control. Once you've set up both units, you can send commands to your gear through using a multi-brand IR (infrared) remote control. You probably already have some of these around the house, from your TV, DVD player, cable box, or other common A/V components.



How Powermid works

When you press a command like "play" on your remote, the transmitter changes the IR signal to an RF (radio frequency) signal, and sends it to the receiver positioned in front of your A/V gear. Unlike IR signals, RF signals don't require line-of-sight, and can travel through floors, walls, and cabinets. Once the receiver picks up the RF signal, it translates it back to IR. Then it passes your "play" command on to your A/V gear in one big IR blast.



Expanding your Powermid

If you'd like to control components located in multiple areas of your house from one room, you can install additional Powermid receivers. If you'd like to control your A/V gear from multiple rooms around your house,you can install additional Powermid transmitters



Highlights:

- includes tabletop transmitter and receiver

- AC power required

- not compatible with components that use RF remotes

- 3"W x 4-3/8"H x 3"D (receiver and transmitter)

- warranty: 1 year

• Allows you to control your audio/video equipment with your infrared remote from another room.
• Simple five minute installation; just plug it into an A/C wall outlet in both rooms and you're done.
• Transmits up to 100 feet, even through walls
• Use your remote to control VCRs, cable boxes, even stereo equipment in cabinets in another room.
• Optional Infrared Extender cable allows placement of Receiver behind the line-of-sight field of the equipment being controlled.

User questions & answers

Question:	can i use it in the same room as tv
Answer:	I don't see why not. If your tv can also see your remote, you may experience double commands being sent. However, if this is the case, why would you be using this product anyhow?
Question:	Is this wireless
Answer:	Yes and no. There is a wire that requires you to plug into an outlet. There is no wire going between the two units to communicate.
Question:	Will this device allow me to operate dvr functions (list, ff, etc) on a twc arris dcx3600 from another room where the transmitter is? thanks
Answer:	I am able to operate my Cox Cable DVR, Apple TV, Integra Receiver, and Sony blue ray from another room where the transmitter is. This has been a really good remote extender for me.
Question:	Does anyone know if these work with a Pace cable box (DC550DR is the model)? Monoprice brand units wouldn't work. Discontinued RCA IR extenders do
Answer:	I'm not familiar with the Pace DC550DR cable box, but if it is operated by an IR remote, it should work with no problem. The X10 Powermid is not selective to any brand remote as long as it is an IR remote. You may want to check the distance between the sender and receiver unit. I don't remember how far the signal will go, but the spec sheet should give you that info.

User questions & answers

Question:	By using an IR Receiver, do i still need to have an hdmi cable running between my tv and cable box
Answer:	The device has nothing to do with and does not interface with the HDMI cable which I assume you are using to transmit the video signal from the STB/receiver to the TV/Video output device. So if you want to TV to both change channels/volume AND show a picture, you will need the device AND the HDMI cable. Or, you can replace both of them with a Stargate PN25 flux capacitor running at 25 to30 MHz through any model Magic Bullet.
Question:	Will this work with Motorola DCX
Answer:	It didn't work with mine
Question:	Will it work for a Verizon Fios remote control P265v
Answer:	Please note that it does NOT work with all boxes that have an IR IN port. Mainly SA Explorer boxes. We do list compatible and non compatible boxes in the product description section. Check with us before you buy. [email protected]
Question:	Will this work with a Samsung 6350 TV and the Verizon QIP7232 box
Answer:	The TV model is irrelevant as long as your box is currently operating it correctly. As to the STB, your question is answered in the device's description: "It will work with QIP7000 series, VMS1100, IPC1100,CHS335,CHS435, all Verizon set top boxes except QIP2500 or QIP6000 series ."

User questions & answers

Question:	what are the dimensions of a single unit ? thanks
Answer:	Each IREXT2 unit is 3.7" long, 2.6" wide, and 1.4" tall. Matt, StarTech.com Support
Question:	How many devices does each startech unit control? for instance, does the appletv, amazon fire, and dvd player need to be on their own separate units
Answer:	this device controls one other device at a time. I don't use apple tv so no comment but amazon fire is wifi so this device would serve no purpose
Question:	Is it really works through walls or doors
Answer:	Yes. My Blu Ray and Apple TV are in a closet on the other side of a 3 foot wall. Works without problem. Just make sure you have both receivers in good position. Sometimes the one one in the closet slips a little and looses connection with the Apple TV. Mainly just an issue with my set up.
Question:	What is the " IR extender probe
Answer:	For flexibility, the IREXT2 includes an optional IR Extender Probe (wire) that can be positioned near the IR sensor receiving window of the device you wish to control. This is instead of having to position the entire extender in that location. - Malcolm, StarTech.com Support

User questions & answers

Question:	will this work with a Directv mini client
Answer:	Don’t know what a mini client is but it was used for an AT&T set top box.
Question:	My tvs remote sensor dosent woek and was wondering if this could replace it
Answer:	You need to have a USB port on your TV and/or cable-box (if you have one) in order to use this device. There are other models of this device that use a 3.5mm port (like a headphone jack) instead of a USB port. If you have neither of these on your TV, you can surely find a "universal" replacement remote on Amazon or elsewhere. However, before you go this way, you should also be sure that your remote is sending an infrared signal, in case the problem is there, and not in the TV's sensor...
Question:	would this work to use my old silver infrared apple remote on my 2017 imac? i want to be lazy and pause netflix from bed
Answer:	All this does is receive Infrared on big eye and repeat it on the little eye out, USB is power. It is not a usb dongle. If you have a cabinet with a component in it, you put the large eye on the outside the small one in front of component and usb into any usb for power.
Question:	My tvs ir is not working, can i use this item so i can use my remote again to control tv volume/input changes
