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. This 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 433 MHz RF frequency; it is also available in a 418MHz RF Frequency.

What's Included

  • 1x - IR to RF Transmitter
  • 2x - Mini AAA NiMH Rechargeable Batteries
  • 1x - AA adaptor sleeve adapter
  • 1x - RF Base Station
  • 1x - IR Emitter (8 foot cable)
  • 1x - AC power adapter
  • 1x - Owner's manual
  • 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 primary concern, the system can be hidden from view by using the included IR Emitter.

    FRED -- pasadena, TX   5/1/2011
    The items works great it is the second one that I have purchased...
    NATHAN -- fargo, ND   4/14/2011
    Superb product. Still confused as to how it works, and I don't care...it functions as advertised. Shipping was prompt and I will indeed shop at Smarthome again.
    ANTHONY -- hawthorn woods, IL   4/7/2011
    instructions very easy to follow. The product worked instantly after installation. I would recommend this to anyone who needs to operate an infra-red controlled device but has that unit concealed. Very easy to operate and install
    CAESAR -- ponoka, AB   3/10/2011
    Amazing signal power. Easily penetrates beyond 50 ft. through two walls.
    CARLOS -- cherry hill, NJ   3/3/2011
    Camcast cable tv sucks. They want $1.99 per box per month. With this device I have three TV's on one box for the kids room and can chnge the chanel from anywere in the house.
    RONALD -- fenton, MI   2/26/2011
    This worked flawlessly right out of the box. Couldn't be simpler, just charged the battery, popped it into the remote and put the IR sender by my Dish Network receiver in the basement.
    TODD -- plano, TX   2/25/2011
    This product works great. It allows me to control my receiver from anywhere in the house.
    KIM -- birmingham, AL   2/4/2011
    Item works with Charter Cable Scientific Atlantic box as stated to extend the reach of our tv remote to the closet where our components are installed.
    LEE JAY -- dacula, GA   1/31/2011
    this product easy to install and use, to quote my 10 year daughter "this makes the remote work to good"
    EDWIN -- proctor, WV   1/17/2011
    It works great!! Was shipped fast!!
    STEVE -- eveleth, MN   1/15/2011
    easy installation, works ok, receiving unit would not work from another room, had to be in same room as the remote
    CINDY -- davison, MI   1/3/2011
    I am amazed at how well it works. My box is in the closet and I can work it from 10 ft away without pointing at it. I've used it for only 3 wks now and the battery is holding up well. I was concerned that I'd have to change them quite often. We'll see.
    LARRY -- cape coral, FL   12/19/2010
    Great Service. Great item. Soo easy to set up.
    ROGER -- st. charles, MO   12/9/2010
    The IR Remote I ordered came in good shape in the time period I was told to expect. Everything went very well and I was well satisfied with both product and service. Will definitely use Smarthome again when I have the need.
    CLAIRE -- madison, MS   12/6/2010
    It works but it doesn't work with the additional RF Tranmitter. The directions are not very helpful at all.
    WILLIAM -- tampa, FL   12/6/2010
    Does exactly what it is supposed to do. Easy setup. Works perfectly.
    KAREN -- hilton, NY   11/27/2010
    This worked PERFECT just like described. Saved us $$$$ not buying other products suggested by the retailers.
    JOHN -- hacienda heights, CA   11/22/2010
    This is a great product. Although my music receiver is located in a closet, the device lets me use the remote control anywhere in the house, even in my front or back yard. And the battery works for weeks!
    PAUL -- auckland, XX   11/21/2010
    great device - but as I now have 2 of them their frequencies clash
    NORMAN -- hillsborough, CA   10/22/2010
    I am very pleased with my smarthome purchases. Every item works as the add materials stated.
