I would like to use this on my stereo cabinet's glass doors. Will remote control beams penetrate the film?

I don't know. I think they will but am not sure. you would have to ask the manufacture directly about that to be positive

Normally the IR Bug is attached directly to the IR window of the component you are attempting to control. But we have used these in cabinets on the back of the doors facing equipment racks and they will work from several feet. I have not tried to use for more distance than that but it may work. Hope this helps.

Hello, We recommend that our film only be used on glass. These films were designed to be applied on glass, and not on other surfaces. However, our customers have had success in applying window film on other surfaces. The lower the % number for our Silver series, the more reflective the film will be. This film will be the most "mirror like" out of all of our films.

Conceptually yes. But won't a projector be exposed and behind you? This is more suited to retransmitting signals into a cabinet with no line-of-site option.

In my experience i installed it on a thick glass door and worked perfectly. You just need to call a guy that has experience installing those kinds of locks and have an alternate power source for the lock in case the lights go out the door can still have the electromagnetic lock. Hope this helps

The remote uses a radio frequency to control the unit. It works quite well through walls and doors.

I would say that anything that is glass it will work! Pay close attention to the instructions making sure that you NOTICE that one end of the film looks like it has the film on one side but on the other it ends about a half inch short. Don't cut the measurements till you make sure of that. I messed up my first piece. Fortunately, it is up on a second floor traverse above the door and isn't that noticably.

I'm afraid not. I'm assuming that the remote releases only work for digital cameras.

I use the one that came with the player, effective range from e-center to couch: 5 feet. It could be the glass pane inside the door enhances the signal. Keep in mind that it transmits infrared, so you should have an unobstructed line of sight straight to the player's receptor. And you should aim the front of the remote directly at the player, not up, like some are wont to do.

Hey Ben, i put this unit in my hallway and i gotto say its pretty sensitive. I actually had to put a matte scotch tape over it because the light would turn on every time i would get up off my couch. I can't really say that it would work behind glass but i dont see why it wouldnt. Cheers

yes. I put my directv dvr and my sylvania dvd player down below and keep the doors closed, and have no problem using the remote.

It does for us. Our cable box and dvd player are in a cabinet behind glass doors and this remote works fine with both of them.

It is IR (Infrared) remote and not RF. You can see the IR LED in the front of the remote. It will not work if you are not in the line of sight. But it is very sensitive and works even at an extreme angle. However, if it is completely blocked by say a door or you are not pointing at the switch then it will not work. Also, a learning remote can apparently learn the code though I have not tried it.

Yes and No. I installed this film onto 3 smaller 36'x48" windows. I am glad that I had someone helping me, as laying the film onto the windows would be more difficult alone. Prep is everything with this product. Make sure to have either their installation solution or make your own, you will find that it is much easier to install when the film and glass is very wet. If you want to make your own Google it, it isn't hard to find how to make a suitable alternative. Finally, I can't stress it enough, clean the window before you do anything. Use windex and a raxor blade to get everything. Any little speck of dirt will be amplified 10x when it is under the film. Invest in a very sharp blade. A blade that is not sharp will make trimming the edges difficult, and ragged. PROS: 1) It is fairly forgiving. You can pull it away and restart a couple times. 2) It does cut the glare in the room well. 3) Once you understand how it reacts while being installed it becomes much easier to manipulate into position. 4) It really isn't very expensive, so don't be too affraid to give it a shot. Especially if purchased from Amazon. Cons: 1) You have to make sure that you have the right tools for the job. Their installation solution is great, but the snap off blade in the kit is not very good. I found an exacto knife worked much better. 2) Be prepared to waste some film. The material is forgiving, but there is a learning curve. 3) Once installed, the film is Blue, not Charcoal. It didn't matter in my application, but it is something to consider. 4) There will be a little mess. The installation solution that is pressed out has to go somewhere. Just have a towel handy to wipe up as you go. 5) It is not perfectly clear. Because of the thickness of the film it does have some distortion when looking through it. If you need opticaly clear film, you would be much better off using the thinner, adheasive backed tint film. Hope this helps.

Since I use my Mr. Beams indoors to illuminate artwork, I don't know the maximum range of the remote. The customer service rep. at Mr. Beams, Maya Winfield, maya@mrbeams.com, 216-455-0192, Ext. 1, can undoubtedly provide this information.

Yes as long as it is away from any direct light shining at the project or any light above the path of the projected image. Works well in the dark.
