This happened to my Samsung TV very recently. I purchased one of those units and it did the trick. There was a setting on the TV that I had to change to switch to the external port though. I am sure your set has something similar, or it may not be necessary.

this will not fix your problem... this is an IR emitter meaning it OUTputs IR it doesnt receive it. This is meant to plug into a control system with the little emitter stuck on the IR receiver on your equipment (in your case it would be on the IR receiver on the front of your TV) repeating IR commands.

I am sorry but I can't answer the question. I just received the sensor and has not get been installed. It seems like it should but to be safe have Amazon help you contact the Company and ask them the question so you don't have to return anything.

Keith is right, the old remote should work just fine (assuming that it has worked to control your vehicle entertainment system). The remote control is paired with your vehicle entertainment system (perhaps even just the DVD player), and has no relationship to your IR audio headsets. Even though the remote control can play and pause and stop the DVD player, the DVD player will continuously broadcast the infrared audio stream associated with whatever video is being sent to that audio player at any given moment. This infrared audio stream can be picked up by any infrared headsets within its field of view.

No. The remote can only control devices that use an infra red remote (like a tv, receiver, dvd, etc.).

No. This adapter makes it possible to use an ir remote with the bluetooth only PS3. So, just like the game controllers, it also needs to connect to the PS3 via bluetooth. Meaning if the bluetooth radio in your PS3 died, you wouldn't be able to use this device either.

Rusty, the remote has to be aimed at the radio, I believe it is infrared. It will not work any other way. I have tried it.

This wand is what is known as a "learning" remote and should be usable with almost any consumer electronics device that uses an infrared remote. Infrared remote controls send out a code sequence by flashing an infrared light (which the human eye cannot see) which is received and interpreted by the controlled device; there is a different sequence for each command (button) on your remote. For each motion to which the wand reacts, you "teach" it the command from another infrared (IR) remote control; note that this means you must have the original remote control(s) for the device(s) you will be controlling. If you are not sure if your remote control is IR (most are), look on your remote for a dark red window on the end that normally you point at the controlled device; a bright flashlight may help you see the window. I haven't received the unit yet, but the reviews here report the instructions are very good. There is a very nice web site, thewandcompany.com, with a complete FAQ and videos of the motions to which the remote responds.

Don't know. Mine gets turned on by something in the environment close to me, but haven't figured out what. Shouldn't be a problem getting a remote to work with it unless there is something wrong with the RX/TX on the TV itself.Good luck!

No, not at all. However, you cannot use the tv remote control function as it covers the power/lock button(where the IR blaster is located).
1787266
Yes it will. You can teach it to learn any button that was on the remote that came with your TV. It's a learning remote, which means as long as you have the remote that came with whatever product, you can teach this remote to do whatever you want via IR communication from one remote directly to the Sony remote.

As others have answered it is just a speaker and would block any IR signals. Note that the speaker is very small so that it is less likely to block the IR receiver on a TV. This was the primary reason I bought it (and that it got good audio reviews for its size).

I have had this Remote attached to a D800 for some time and it works great. If you have it connected to the camera completely screwed in then only thing that you may want to check is that the selected channels on the receiver and the transmitter match exactly. If that's all Ok I would ask for a replacement. It's a great remote control so it is worth getting your problem resolved. Good Luck'

Hello Jeff, I don't know...my remote is an Xfinity remote. The device converts any IR signal to an RF signal and then again to IR received through the emitters. It should not matter which IR remote you have.

If the other functions work correctly when the extender is removed then if the extender is correctly installed on the IR input sensor I do not know why the other functions are not working. I would first determine if the remote control device is doing the other functions (channel and volume change) thru the cable box or the TV. You must have the remote configured to do these functions thru the cable box. Block the TV's IR sensor from seeing the remotes signals, power on the cable box and TV and see if the remote can control these functions from the remote.ot be If the volume and channels cannot be controlled by the remote thru the cable box then the remote is not configured correctly. I would also check to see if the extender is listed as valid for your specific cable box.

Yeah, I wonder too. It's great that the remote has IR to operate your other components, but how about operating the TV with an IR remote.

The fact that the remote is IR makes it pretty difficult. Once it leaves the IR range, it falls to the ground. Mine no longer worked after doing this twice.

No, not that I am aware of. And with the lack of CEC-HDMI capability, it is doubtful. The current IR blaster support for receivers is very basic.
