Simple solution
Does exactly as described. It's discreet and easy to setup. World well with my DVD player inside my cabinet

Just what I needed
I had built in cabinets installed and didn't even think about remote access for all my devices. So was a little bummed when I realized I had to keep the doors open to control anything. I searched many options and came across this product. So glad I found it. Cheaper than everything else and was super easy to set up. I have the receiver plugged into the usb on the surge protector and the transmitter attached to the cabinet door. So far everything is working perfectly and I can keep my cabinet doors closed. 🤗 Now I just need to organize all my cords.

Works decently enough
Works decently, not as receptive as the TV itself but I needed it because my soundbar blocks the TV’s receiver.Does not work well if inside a cubby, but I have it sitting right next to the soundbar on top of the TV stand. you don’t need to aim the remote directly at the receiver, but you have to aim in the general direction of the TV area, unlike with the TV’s receiver where i could point the remote basically anywhere.

Works Perfectly
I bought this product because the mantle on our fireplace was interfering with our wall mounted tv above it. It works perfectly. Just plugged it into a usb port on the tv and good to go!

Make sure your remote battery is fresh
Works beautifully at a bargain price.I was unhappy with it at first as it didn’t seem to work at the distance advertised. I had to bring my remote within 6-7 feet of the receiving module before it would register. I was about to send it back with a nasty note when it dawned on me that perhaps the issue was with the remote. I put a fresh battery in the remote and now I can be across the room and it works. So, keep in mind a weak battery means a weak signal from your remote.

Simple clean easy to install. But one issue I had to overcome..
I liked the simplicity, easy wiring, low cost of this I-R Relay.Unfortunately I couldn't make it work with my new A/V receiver. I realize the prudent thing for most people is to just get it replaced by Amazon.As an EE, I'm able to dive into specifically what's wrong, in this case using a phone camera and an oscilloscope. A phone camera can detect I-R easily. Aim your remote at it, and you'll see white flash when pressing command buttons.On this I-R extender, my phone cam revealed that the TRANSMITTER end was emitting very low (if any) I-R. I knew the I-R receiver was sensing I-R well- it has a small blue LED you can see (thru its top) flash when it receives I-R commands from a remote. I cut off the transmitter at the end of its 10-ft wire and used a scope to verify that digital pulses (intended to drive I-R emitter) WERE present when A/V remote was sending commands. The problem was the I-R emitting diode.I dug into a supply of super efficient white LEDs I have. With proper polarity, I connected one to the end of the 10 ft transmit cable. It illuminated intensely with each remote command. I fixtured the white LED to the front of A/V receiver at it's I-R sensor location. That fixed the problem- the AV receiver enclosed in a cabinet reliably responds to all buttons on its remote now.

So far so good, minus two factors
I bought this because my center channel speaker is just high enough to block the tv remote sensor. I set this up as recommended and it works great! Two issues: 1st- the adhesive on the sensor is junk. It’s already started to peel off after being mounted for less than 3 hours. That’s an easy fix though. 2nd- the unit is powered through usb that you can hook up to your tv. The issue is, at least with my Samsung tv, is when it’s powered off, the unit is not getting power. Therefore I cannot turn on my tv without getting up and pointing the remote at the TV’s sensor behind the center channel. The work around was to plug the usb into my Xbox because even when off, the usb port will still supply power. Two easy work arounds to consider when purchasing. Still very happy with this purchase!
