Essential Info

Infrared (IR) remote controls have limited range and generally only work in the same room as the audio/video (A/V) component it controls as line of site is needed for communication to occur. The IR to RF to IR Remote Control Range Extender Kit, uses an internal transmitter that converts your remote's IR signal into a radio frequency (RF) signal, giving you the ability to control your components up to 100 feet away, through walls, floors, doors and windows. Simply slide one of the rechargeable batteries into the transmitter and switch that out with a battery in your remote control; it works with remotes using AA or AAA batteries (AA sleeve adapter included). When the remote control is used, the IR signal is converted to RF and is sent to a small, AC-powered receiver (RF base station), which is placed facing the components you wish to control. The receiver then converts the signals back to IR and sends them to your components, all in a fraction of a second. Ideal for home theater setups that have components behind closed doors, you have the freedom to move throughout your home and control components that are out of sight. This device operates on a 418 MHz RF frequency; it is also available in a 433 MHz RF Frequency.

Important Note: This kit is NOT COMPATIBLE with remote controls using built-in rechargeable battery packs.

What's Included

  • IR to RF transmitter
  • Mini AAA NiMH rechargeable batteries (quantity 2)
  • AA adaptor sleeve adapter
  • RF base station
  • Emitter with six foot cable
  • AC power adapter
  • More Info

    The internal RF adapter has a AAA-size transmitter and AA-size sleeve, so it can extend your existing remote control's operating range, regardless of which type of battery it requires. It will work with almost any remote control you'd like. Want to use it with more than one remote? Not a problem: add as many Extra RF Transmitters, sold separately, as you'd like. For homes where maintaining the décor is a prime concern, the system can be hidden from view by using the included Bright Eye Emitter, an unobtrusive, adhesive-backed LED at the end of a 6-foot cable.

    Reviews

    "It didn't work - I returned it. I have AT&T so got the one recommended for AT&T. Tried every setting, A,B,C. Set the "flying saucer" about 6 feet directly in front of the receiver. Nothing." - THOMAS - ANN ARBOR, MI
    "ORdered one and it was defective. GOt a second one and it worked. The one problem is the part that you stick on the cable box comes off now and then. All in all it is working OK." - ROBERT - HAVERTOWN, PA
    "I have tried several of the IR type repeaters and this is the only one that actually works. It just works, period. If you're in the market for something like this then stop looking. You found it!" - JUSTIN - COLUMBIA, SC
