Where does everyone mount teh receiver? Ideally by the door for easy reset, but it has no battery option. Must be plugged in. Cord is ugly/ not clean.

Mine is on a little table. So far it's been a good thing to have as my mailbox isn't in sight because of a big tree. I like it because it saves me a trip to the mailbox when there's no mail. I wound up the cord & secured it in a little ball with a dark plastic tie.

I have mind on a tea cart close to the dining table, and the alarm is easy to hear even for my husband, who has hearing problems. And it is easy to turn the little blue light off there. We cannot see the cord so it's no problem. This is the second Mailbox Reminder we have had, and I would not want to be without one. Jean T.

It isn't necessary to mount the receiver by the door. It must be connected to an AC outlet, however. Any convenient and out of the way location should work. I have it in my catch-all room (den), where it is not seen by anyone but me.

Yes, ours is mounted on the side of a corner cabinet. It is easily reset and I am much happier plugging it in to an AC outlet eliminating batteries whish was a nuisance on a different style we had earlier which quit working after a year of use. This one is much better and I would buy another.

I have it sitting on our spinet near door--the cord does not show and it works wonderfully well.

Turns out that the thing is ASTONISHINGLY loud... so if you are home, you will hear it pretty much anywhere in the house... but if you are looking for the blinking light (because you aren't typically home when it goes off) then that's a diff story. For me, I put mine on a outlet in my kitchen in the corner. It's kind of an ugly unit, but it's pretty unobtrusive.

My unit doesn't have a cord - it's stuck to wall with doublefaced tape and works like a charm.

I had not any problem. Instruction manual is quite clear. I recommend only to connect AC power instead of using battery...I first tried with battery, and nothing happened: It was because the battery I had just bought was...empty ! (it happens sometimes, or China imported..) I connected it with my home tv, and have just to zap when door bell rings... Plse let me know what infos you need. And since my english is not very fluent (I'm living in France); what is the meaning of rerode ?? I have bought those items last October, and sincerely they work fine. Maybe only concern is to hire poeple to stay on stand-by near the TV .... Best regards.

The small reciever is in the battery compartment, something I don't like much because you have to take a battery out to be able to store or take the reciever out.

I assume that you are referring to the little stand, and while the receiver will work OK without it, I recommend that you avoid having the receiver lying against a shelf, wall, etc., where the unit might overheat if it lacked a good air flow.

Thanks very much to those who offered suggestions. Everything was fine with the wiring. A phone call to a Sony tech resolved the problem, which was found to be my selection of HDMI Passthrough to "ON". As such, the receiver remained partially powered in Standby and resulted in the hum. Re-selecting HDMI Passthrough to "OFF" cured the problem.

yes there is a place for it on the receiver :DC 4.5volt I think is what written on it.

Trash it and get you a Chamberlain Wireless Motion Alert. I got 3 of them and they are working great. No digging holes to bury them in either :-)

The receivers plug into the wall outlet (120V). The remote takes a 12V little battery (very small) that you can buy at BestBuy. I've had mine for almost a year and haven't needed to replace the battery yet. The devices work great. I have them in various rooms without a problem.

Is it really easier for someone else to do the search for you? And I'm stupid enough to do it I guess.Swift Hitch PB01 Receiver BatteryThere are cheaper out there but I won't tell you where they are.

I just looked at the unit today at BrandsMart in Atlanta. Didn't seem like there were many inputs at all on the back (as compared to most receivers.) I didn't spend much time on it, as I was just passing it and found it interesting. Perhaps if you called them, they could answer that question. They are located only in GA and FL, I believe.It has a very nice sound, in case you were wondering...

Hi and thanks for the info; I just went to press the "menu" button but saw nothing from the receiver face plate or the TV screen. Are you referring precisely to the Sony STR-DN1010 model? I have wired the single center back speaker wires to either of the 2 center back on the receiver, i.e. "+" to the left "+" and "-" to the right "-".

I would have to look at mine.. but I dont even have mine mounted.. I have it under my console and get good reception that way.

I don't know how many receivers you can hook up. Just be careful where you put it, mine either went off all the time, even when I couldn't see anything that would set it off, or it didn't go off at all. It also seemed to go through alot of batteries.

My receiver isn't chargeable, so I do not know. The station plugs in or uses regular batteries.

This is the receiver only you need to purchase a wire harness separately They offer plug and go harness's that just t into your electrical system. Use your imagination as to where to put your plug or seek professional installer if you are not mechanically inclined

Try and replacing the batteries in the receiver. I had to do that with mine after 3 overnight usages with my unit. The batteries that come with the unit may have been bad.

Thanks Joe Faz, I hadn't noticed the AC adaptor receiver on the light. I play with an 18 peice band and the less obstrutions the better. I'll stick with batteries for now. Good eye though.
