Want to place the cable box or other A/V devices out of sight yet be able to control them from in front of your TV? Our IR Repeater (aka remote control extender) kit allows you to do just that!

How it works: The kit will relay the IR signal, through wires, from where you are using the remote control to the end device. The IR receiver of the kit (eye) is placed within sight of (within 25’) of where you will use the remote control from.

Now, when pressing a button on the remote control, the signal will be amplified & sent through the system to your devices!

User questions & answers

Question:	I currently require two remotes to control all my audio/TV equipment. I cannot get them all onto one master remote. Do I need two systems
Answer:	No you do not need two systems. This unit simply relays IR signal(s) sent from any remote to your devices hidden away. You stick one of the four IR blasters coming out of the unit on the IR eye of each of your devices and the IR receiver on the edge of your TV. Then you point any remote at TV and press button. The signal will leave your remote to the IR receiver and through the cord the unit. From there the unit will replay the signal to all 4 IR blasters that are placed on the IR eyes of your devices (STB, DVD, AV Receiver, etc...)
Question:	This item can work with my logitech harmony one remote
Answer:	Yes. The way this system is designed it will basically pick up any remote using IR technology, which is what the Logitech remote uses. Cheers!
Question:	Can anyone say with certainty this WILL work with directv dvr and directv genie plus other components? Seems there are several conflicting opinions
Answer:	I have this BAFX Repeater, and I also have the DTV HR54-700 satellite box. The repeater does NOT work at ALL with this satellite box. The IR signals come from my Philips Pronto TSU7000 - AND the repeater works FINE with all other connected devices Such as my Sharp Aquos TV, the LED Bias Lighting module on the back of that, a Denon receiver, RCA receiver, and a Philips DVD player The Pronto works intermittently with the satellite box by itself - as long as it is NOT too close to the satellite box As soon as I put the BAFX emitter over the IR receiver window - - IR stops working. I've put up to 6 layers of painters tape over the window - - NOTHING. And Yes - - I have verified (watching with a digital camera: NOT an iPhone) - the emitter sends an IR signal when the BAFX system receives one. - SO - - My thoughts: DTV may be using a different IR light wavelength than what is transmitted by the BAFX. The question of course is - - WHY would DTV do that ?? Answer is ea$y to figure out. It's $o you can't u$e an all-in-one remote - - you have to RENT one of their$
Question:	What is the length of the receiver cable
Answer:	The receiver cable length is about 5 feet. You can buy a CAT5 extender setup which allows you to go much further here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B016VEFI00/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_GsokEbPHY5B42

How the IR Repeater Kit works

The setup is very is simple.



You will simply place the included distribution block in a location near where you wish to keep the devices you need to control with your remotes. From this block, you will run the provided IR receiver cable (or the eye of the kit) from the distribution block and place it in a location where you can point the remote control at, this may be on the bezel of the TV, on a shelf ledge, the wall or other such locations. You will need to place this IR receiver no further than 30' from where you will be using the remote control.



Now, plug one of the emitter cables into the distribution block and run that cable to where you have your devices being controlled located. You will place one emitter head from this cable over the IR receiver on the devices being controlled.



Lastly, simply plug the repeater kit into power using the supplied power adapter and you're ready to go!

Additional Important Notes

Plugging directly into IR ports on devices: On some devices you may notice IR in/out ports. You MAY be able to use a Male to Male cable to connect our kit with such devices. We cannot promise that this will always work. It will depend on whether the device manufacturer has wired their port the same was as our kit and also handles the signal in the same manner. We have verified that many Onkyo & Denon devices do work with this but cannot make promises as to this.



Plasma TV's: Plasma TV's emit stray infrared signals. In some rare cases these stray signals may interfere with operation of the kit. In such cases simply moving the IR receiver slightly further from the TV will resolve this issue. LED & LCD TVs do not have this problem.



Extending via CAT5 lines: For this we offer a prepackaged CAT5 adapter kit that may be purchased separately. The parts may also be obtained individually on their own as needed.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this work with direct tv mini genie
Answer:	It should work with any IR device.
Question:	Can you cover up the red light or will it affect signal? The red light is really distracting
Answer:	If your referring to the red light on the IR receiver, the little black thing that catches the signal from your remote and is stuck to the front of your TV, don’t put anything in front of it. It will block the signal. You can buy another one that has no red light. Just a clear plastic receiver that lights up when you press a button on the remote.
Question:	Is there a longer antenna available? I have two walls in between the cable box and tv and the signal is very weak or doesn’t work most of the time
Answer:	Hi there, I am with BAFX Products. A long antenna is not available however assuming that these are standard construction walls, the kit should be able to pass through them without issue. Please contact us directly so that we can assist further and help figure this out with you! We look forward to hearing from you! Regards, BAFX Products
Question:	What is the rf frequency of the device? i need to homologate, can you provide the rf specs

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this compatible with a tcl riki tv
Answer:	I am assuming you mean a TCL Roku TV correct? I just purchased this for mine and it works like a charm. With one caveat, if you power it with the USB from the TV, you have to manually turn the TV on to activate power to the USB. If you power it will and external USB power supply you will be able to turn the TV on and off. Also keep in mind the TV's IR receiver is on the bottom of the screen in the middle in a whitish plastic area below the screen.
Question:	Does the transmitter portion need to be directly over the device to be controlled, or can it be a few feet away in line of sight
Answer:	As long as in line of sight.
Question:	Which is the receiver and which is the emitter?? One is larger than the other
Answer:	The picture depicts from left to right the receiver, the emitter and the USB. The receiver is the larger one.
Question:	Where exactly do you put the emitter on the cable box? Only the volume and power are working on the remote
Answer:	I reviewed this item as junk; the emitter being the issue. You need to look through (use a flash lite) the (usually red) cover on the cable box and find its emitter. You then need to place the "all in one' emitter DIRECTLY over it. Good luck getting it to work.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this work with newest Spectrum Arris device
Answer:	It works with my new Arris DCX3510M HD DVR box. However the IR reception range is only 7-8 ft max. And you will need a separate USB power supply because the Arris USB ports only work when the box is on.
Question:	How close does the IR emitter need to be to the device receiving the signal
Answer:	The smallest one needs to be right on point to work. You will need a second person to help while you adjust and they try the remote.
Question:	Does it have to be Synced to the remote
Answer:	No. This is a simple device that simply passes on the infrared signal. Whatever the remote shoots into this device's receiver will be transmitted to the other end. It took only minutes to set this up. We put cable box behind the TV screen. Attached the receiver end to the underside of the TV, near current remote sensor just so it is the same target area you are used to, the other end of the extender gets aimed at the cable box on the other side. The cable box has USB so that was used for the power. Amazing product
Question:	What does 10feet mean
Answer:	Means 10 feet long from starting to end.
