Does your entertainment system have wooden doors, or would you like to mount your components in a closet? Without a clear line of sight infrared (IR) signals from a remote control will not reach the equipment. We have the answer. Our remote control repeater kit contains all equipment necessary to remotely operate 4 components (expandable to 12 components) using your standard remotes. Mount the IR receiver in a central location and connect to the IR distribution block. This block repeats the signals through emitters to your electronic components. Your components may now be mounted in your entertainment center, closet or another room! The kit is self-contained and easy to connect. With this kit, you may mount a receiver in a convenient place on or near your entertainment system. The receiver has a 9 foot cable that is then attached to the repeater system that is mounted in your entertainment cabinet. The kit includes 4 emitters. These emitters are connected from the repeater system and placed over the IR receiver of the equipment. The IR receiver and IR repeater have blinking blue LEDs to confirm receipt of the IR signal; the IR repeater is designed for mounting on shelf or wall. You can use your existing remotes for simple installation and hookups. Packaged for resale. For your convenience, the AC/DC Adapter (#98025) is available for this item

Does what it says

Customer Rating:

Been using this for only about a month so I don't know how long it will last.

That being said....

This repeater just works. I installed all the components in a utility room about 12' from the tv. I ran a shielded cable through the wall to hook this up to. It works with the extra 12' of cable.
The pickup has great sensitivity. I don't even have to point directly to the sensor. The signals are transmitted without delay.
The ir emitters have a strong output. I tested them by holding them a foot in front of the components and they still worked. So if you can't stick the emitters on your components, it will still work if you can point them at the equipment.

The updated sensor is now included in the package. No need for cables to go to send the new replacement.

Overall, a great repeater at a fair price.

Aim carefully

Customer Rating:

This was very easy to set up. However, the sesor stickers kept falling off my cable/dvr box. Once we got them to stay on, the device worked- but it was nearly impossible to aim the remote just at the right spot to hit the sensor to work. We were basically able to use our remote from one chair in our living room and NO where else. It really defeated the whole point of purchasing this. Thankfully, amazon couldn't have made the return process any easier. We returned it the very next day.

Wonderful Device - Outstanding Customer Service

Customer Rating:

Received the repeater 4 days after I placed my order. Installation was easy but the IR receiver was intermitant in its operation. Called Cables to Go and after a very pleasant conversation with their tech support they suggested sending a replacement. Replacement was received two business days later. The new receiver operates flawlessly and is controlling my Dish receiver, Onkyo Amplifier and Samsung BluRay player - all behind closed doors and out of sight. I am using a Harmony one Remote and it has been totally compatible with the IR receiver. The reason for the 5 star review is that the company stood behind its excellent product and resolved my initial problem in a courteous and timely timely manner.
My neighbor had a similar installation done by a professional Audio Supply house and paid 3 times as much for their unit. The Cables-to-Go IR repeater is an excellent value.

Remote access

Customer Rating:

This is a great device for a reasonable price. Set up and use is easy. Works great with my Blu Ray player and Flatscreen. Transmitters may not stick so you may need to add tape.

Lets you use existing remote controls to manage devices kept behind opaque doors

Customer Rating:

I have a music system cabinet with wooden doors, but I need to keep the doors open in order to use the remote controls. Although it does not look great, I couldn't find another way to make the remote controls work with the doors shut. They simply block the IR signals from the remote control.
I ordered this product, and it arrived on time and in perfect condition. It was very easy to set up this product, and it started working immediately. Now I use all my remote controls without having to modify them or change their cells. The response time is instantaneous. It works perfectly.
I am very happy with this purchase.
