Works great! I was able to hide everything in a closed cabinet, and still control it with the remote.

This IR System replaced an older set-up that eventually stopped working in my dedicated Home Theater. In my setup all electronic components, apart from the projector are hidden away in an adjacent utility room. Most of my components are easily accessible via a rack that is framed into the side wall. That rack has a custom, framed print that exactly covers the glass door of the rack thereby hiding all the equipment, including their status light from view, even when the room is darkened. I added this IR System to allow me to control the components which include a Marantz AV Receiver, external power amps, two UHD Blu Ray Players, an Apple TV 4K, Roku Ultra etc. I control all these components from my seated position with a single programmable, backlit IR Remote Controller. I prefer to point my universal remote at the screen as it is more comfortable & intuitive to use it that way, relying on the IR signal to reflect off the screen onto the IR receiver. My seating distance from the screen is about 8 1/2 ft, so the IR signal has to travel 17 ft in total, with some signal loss and diffusion from the screen surface. This cheap IR repeater system was installed in minutes and did everything I wanted, working flawlessly in my demanding environment. I didn’t bother reading the instructions as my previous IR system worked in much the same manner. I have to angle the IR repeater so that it faced the screen from it’s position on top of my rack on the right, center wall. I used some black gaffer’s tape to maintain the 45 degree angle to the rack framework. I’m not sure if it’s detailed in the instructions but the IR transmitters emit the IR signal through both their front & back surfaces. So for most of my shelves I just taped the transmitters to the shelf surface and let the signal spray the IR signal up to control multiple devices with a single emitter. The attached pictures should show the installation. Everything works perfectly although I will say that my Harmony Universal Remote does put out a very strong IR signal. As with my previous SmartHome system some of the manufacturers remote need to be a little closer to the screen to get reliable operation, but fortunately my Harmony Remote makes them redundant. Yes the Roku and Apple TV come with remotes that don’t rely on line of sight IR, but they’re not backlit and I hate having to swap remotes. For reference my previous IR system set me back over $100 but that was 20 years ago. Somehow, I don’t expect this device to last that long but I give it the highest possible rating.

Surprisingly easy to install. I also bought a 20 ft 3.5mm cable to extend the IR receiver - works without any signal degradation. Great value!

Plugin transformer came out of the box not working and from what I have read from others, it may not be CSA/ULC approved anyways. Fear not, given the box can also be powered by a USB plugged in power cord, I did that using another source and it been working fine for over a month. Good luck

It’s easy to install and works well. I used a headphone extension cable to make the IR sensor cable longer. I love the option to use a USB power supply rather than the included power supply as it does not appear to be CSA approved.

I am updating my review after a month of use. Seems SOME remotes have narrower IR transmission and must be well aimed while others are so wide they work great from 18' away. Cable box is very hit or miss, but AV receiver/amplifier and BD/DVD work great. Intuitively I would think the red-light end of the receiver should be pointed toward the remote, BUT NO. The top of the receiver actually seems to be the target to aim at. I had intended to mount on credenza top but that will point the receiver at the ceiling. Now have to rethink.Bought this last year but due to illness wasn't able to install until now. Works good as long as the remote is within THREE FEET of the receiver unit. I sit about 10 feet from the credenza and the red LED indicator doesn't show it receives my remote. However, when I open the door, the cable box sees it fine. Receiver only acknowledges a signal from about 3 feet away. Same with all my remotes and devices!! And it's too late to return.

Bought this for sending signal to devices in a closed cabinet without any glass (a Yamaha A/V receiver and an Oppo bluray player). Set up easy and straightforward. The receiver is installed 12 feet in front a our normal seating places and works flawlessly (but the remote has to be directed directly toward the receiver, so it's less forgiving than using your remote on your devices).At first, installed with the IR emitters sticked on the IR "eye" of the devices and worked with no issues. Those wired emitters have a 3.5 mm jack to be plugged in the IR repeater and I noticed that in the back of my bluray player and my Yamaha receiver there was a 3.5 mm input plug for "IR signal". So I plugged the IR repeater directly to the back of my devices with a 3.5 mm stereo audio cable and it worked wonderfully!!! Does make a cleaner install.I read in other reviews that it should not work like that but for my devices, it works. The IR repeater is now plugged in my devices IR signal input.Great buy! No regrets. Works better than initially expected!

I repurposed a mid-century record player into a modern a/v cabinet and needed this to shoot the IR signal from my remote to my a/v components. It works exactly as it should. No lag, no issues with the receiver seeing the signal from the remote etc. Very small footprint inside the cabinet. Will install almost anywhere. Bear in mind that every repeater has a cord and there is an AC cord as well as a receiver cord. So if you don't have anywhere to hide it, cords may be visually unappealing as there are so many of them. Also the repeaters need to stick to the IR receiver on your device. They don't sit out away from the device such as other products do. Personally I don't care one bit but your mileage may vary on that.The repeater cords are very long so it should work in even the largest cabinets. The only thing I don't really like (and I'm being picky) is that the cord for the IR receiver goes into the side of the receiver. So if you have to drill a hole, you'll see the hole and the cord. In my application having the cord at the back of the receiver would have been ideal as I could've drilled a hole through the cab and then mounted the receiver to hide the hole (if that makes sense). Small detail that would've made the product better. Otherwise great product and price. I highly recommend it.Note: I couldn't find the IR receiver on my Xbox One (1st series) and couldn't get it to work. No fault of this product at all but be aware if you're buying it for an Xbox One.

Unit was easy to install and come with lots of blasters.After a week of use the unit stopped working and would not control my device. Opened it up and found that the resistors coming from the power supply had burned out, I was using the supplied power adapter. Luckily it has the option to use usb (cable was not included) power and that still works for now. Seems like it's a common problem as others have had it fail too.

A single IR receiver on the top of my TV now keeps all my electronics and cables locked safely in the cabinet where the children can't get to them. The single receiver point makes it easier for my remote to turn everything on at once. It's nice and clean with all the equipment and cables hidden. It also comes with way more output cables than I think I'll ever need, so lots of room for future equipment. The only difficult parts were getting a nice locked cabinet the kids couldn't get into and finding the IR input points on my devices, the device itself is simply plug in and use.
