Cable Matters Infrared Remote Extender Cable 3m (IR extender, IR Blaster), IR Repeater Cable - 3m

Product Information

An often overlooked problem is that people don’t have access to power when using an IR extender. If you don’t have any outlets, that is not a problem. We recommend the InjectIR- IR over HDMI. The Inject IR takes power from the HDMI and needs no external power source. Just plug and play over your already installed HDMI cable. Do I want a Wall Plate? When you connect the cable box to your Sony, all you need to do is access the Settings menu on your TV and follow the steps below. Finally, you’ll be able to control the channels on your cable box and access the menu of your cable or satellite box and manage settings.

Sewell is one of the most reputable brands when it comes to IR repeaters and extenders. Their BlastIR Wireless Pro kit (receiver + emitter) receives, repeats, and extends the range of IR signal without causing any interference. You can buy a bunch of these kits (up to 10) and make separate zones working on separate frequencies. Things we likeYour Fire TV Cube is built to be a hands-free device, which is a welcome design choice when you have one hand in a bowl of popcorn and the other clutching your favorite beverage. However, hands-free doesn’t mean hands-off because your Fire TV Cube’s outer shell is festooned with four buttons that you can use to control certain aspects of the device.

Completing the SetupTV or sound system speakers can befuddle the Fire TV Cube’s built-in microphone, so make sure all speakers are at least 1 to 2 feet away from your Fire TV Cube. Some remote extenders support only one infrared frequency band (33-43 kHz) while some support both common infrared frequency bands (33-43kHz and 44-60kHz). Those that support both bands (dual-band extenders) are a safer choice and they will be compatible with all of your audio and video equipment. Singe-band IR remote extenders will be compatible with some equipment but not with all. One additional thing you should have in mind is the RC-MM support, which is a newer IR standard that can be found on a growing number of cable boxes. If you need an IR extender for your cable box, make sure that it supports RC-MM. That sort of second-rate microphone performance just won’t do for the Fire TV Cube whenever you’re relying on voice commands to get things done because those commands could be coming from 10, 15, or even 20 feet away. To get accurate and clear voice recordings, your Fire TV Cube relies on a technology called the far-field microphone, which is optimized to distinguish a voice from the ambient room noise even when that voice is far away. Your Fire TV Cube’s far-field microphone uses some fancy-schmancy technology to accomplish this difficult task: And some Sony TV users have been complaining that they’ve experienced occasional errors when it comes to controlling the devices with IR Blaster.

If your TV has multiple HDMI ports (as most modern TVs do), then the ports are usually labeled HDMI 1, HDMI 2, and so on. But today, in most cases, we use the IR Blaster to set up the cable or satellite box when installing the Sony TV. It enables you to use your Sony remote to control both the cable box and your TV.

I have the same question...my Marantz has a "remote control" input and a "flasher" input. I have no idea which should be used - the manual is no help at all. The Infrared Extender cable from Samsung, commonly known as the IR Extender, lets you bridge the gap between your Smart Touch Remote and your cable box or other AV devices. What the IR Extender cable essentially does is it enables you to control your cable box with the Smart Touch Remote, instead of having to use the cable remote. What’s the Big Deal? It allows you to use only one remote instead of two or even more. It also lets you sit still and not have to search for the perfect angle to control the TV or cable box. Nextronics XL is a dual-band IR remote extender with an extended range between the receiver and remote control (up to 30ft). It is compatible with most IR-controlled devices. The installation is simple and the performance is flawless. Things we don’t like Speech recognition: Detects the audio patterns associated with speech and focuses on those patterns instead of any surrounding noises.

KIT is a cool-looking wireless IR remote extender kit. It uses a similar working principle as the previously reviewed StarTech IREXT2 but has a much cooler design. Things we like The included mini batteries don’t last as long as regular AAA batteries and you have to replace them every 2-3 months. The good news is that you don’t have to buy batteries since they are rechargeable.
