Can you use with case door? Will this work through the door or will the IR signal not go through?

IR is line of sight. If you can't see the sensor it won't work. That goes for any IR receiver. You would need RF (radio frequency).

You can replace it with an RF remote, they actually put out an RF and an IR signal but you'll still have to point the remote at the receiver if your receiver isn't RF capable. Keep in mind even if your receiver is RF capable you'll still need to go into the settings on it and link it to the remote in order for RF to work if you even want it to.

I agree with Chris, I've only used the RF transmitter to broadcast the sound the radio of our vehicle. The IR should work just fine.

Not sure exactly what you are wanting to do. The remote will not control your tv. The avr remote does use standard IR technology. There are generic after market IR extenders that will allow you to control the avr behind a closed door. Many of these options are relatively cheap and completely universal plug and play. the avr has all on screen menus so you would not need to see the actual unit making this an ideal option for the setup I believe you are attempting.

Yea. That is exactly how I have it set up. The dongle is plugged into my computer and the IR works independently for the TV.

No IR window - you'd have to use a USB adapter or buy a mobo that has an integrated bluetooth... something like that.

I think the metal door affects the signal emitted from the microchip in the cat, for some reason. We just bought the adpater but have not installed it yet. Our cat will be in for a little surprise, as she has gotten used to zipping through the door door at lightening speed! :) Have no idea if the adapter will allow the microchip to work, but that's what the directions said, once we opened the sure flap and realized it wasn't working. My husband is going to install today, and once we see what happens, I will revise my review. Keep your fingers crossed!

As long as your communication and ir cables are long enough equipment can be placed where ever you want. I installed a whole house cable system with all cable boxes located in the basement. Max distance for remote control to ir receiver works best within 15 to 25 feet in not too bright of a room. Remember external light is the ir enemy good luck

Yes if used with this IR Repeater System - Hidden IR Control System for Home Theater

The remote is IR. Have to point it at the receiver for it to work. Covering the end of the remote and turning away from the receiver, renders the remote nonoperable.

No... The door closes up the front opening. The only holes in the front are at the bottom back underneath the front of the unit. Depending on the size of the wire of the ir, you "might" be able to get it through one of those holes. It has 2 120 fans and on the side for the vertical drives is space where you could run the wire through. You could even snip one or two holes out where you could make the opening bigger. But if you plan on putting 3 80s in place of the 2 120s it would be a bit tight to get it through.

I have RF. The sound is very clear and I can leave the room with my headset on and still hear the audio, even upstairs or downstairs. My understanding of IR is that anything that interferes with line of sight, even turning the head, can interrupt the audio signal. Best to ask someone with an IR unit.

If I understand the question correctly, when receiving an ir command there is a small led that indicates receiving signal Hope this helps

Yes and no.... Let me explain. It should work if you are using this remote as IR. But chances are if you are buying this remote you are using it for the RF feature which sends signals thru the wall. If using as RF remote, It does but not by itself. You have to also have a RF transmitter/receiver which will receive the RF signal next to the box (ex. If your cable box is in your hallway closet or perhaps is just not visible from your recliner or couch. The remote puts out the RF signal, the receiver gets the rf signal and then transmits it in a IR signal which is ok because it is around the box. The IT signal that it transmits will actually bounce off the walls in the hallway closet sending the proper signal to change he channel. I recently talked to Cox and they don't offer any RF remotes with their boxes which made me choose to stay with direct tv. I like directtv except for the price. It's overpriced for sure but I LOVE THE RF remotes lol. Gotta have it. I used to use the remote you are referring to but don't need it because I have been using the directtv remote

I don't have Dish so I can't say with 100% certainty. But I believe as long as you're not using one of the RF remotes or the RF function of the remote that IR signals are mostly all compatible.

Should work fine but check your receiver by going to remote setup and see if it will toggle between ir and rf. If so, just follow the on screen instructions.

The control unit transmitts signals to the outlet box by Radio Frequecies (in this cace 313mehertz) and furniture or nonmetalic object would not stop the control signals so things should operate. (Infrared signals are line of sight and will not work when obstales are in its direct path.)If the objects are metalic, it could reduce the distance it can send out control signals. Should work up to about 100 feet without any problems.Kodo Kawamura
