Does the HDMI source component need to be powered on for IR to transmit? (DVD direct wired to projector)

I can't say for certain but I don't believe it does as the device just uses two wires in the HDMI cable that's plugged into it and I've never noticed a device not responded when sending a power on command.

it was working like a charm for few days. Now i get massage unsupported hdmi i don't know what to do

No. the only thing that would not allow me to make it work is that I needed to directly connect either end to the exact same continuous wire.hopefully, that makes some sense.

I will explain our situation and hopefully that will answer your question. We have the receiving side of the cable on our Samsung TV and the "blaster" side in front of our Tivo. Both devices are on different floors of our house so I know the Tivo is not receiving the signal by accident. With both devices turned off (wich for Tivo actually means "standby" just like about every cable box in the market) if I send a signal to the receiving side of the cable the Tivo will receive it, even if I have not turned on the Samsung TV. Of course, I have to turn on the Samsung to see that Tivo received it, but when I do, I can see that Tivo received the signal and executed the command I gave it. Therefore, I believe the answer to your question is probably "No, the component does not need to be power on for the IR to transmit, but beware that the component must have a CEC connection as part of its HDMI connection and the HDMI cable must also have the CEC wire." I am not a technical person, but I believe the reason is that the CEC connection is always "on", although at a low power consumption state, even when all the devices are turned "off". That allows the CEC wire to be used to transmit information even when the device that has the receiving side of the cable is turned off.

It worked best for me to use the cable included so I did not anything else. I hooked the projector to the DVD player And the DVD player to the sound bar and it works very well.

I have the HDMI video out of my receiver going to a projector, and the audio is running out to the speakers via the wires from the receiver. I have not had any issues with this setup.

Depends on how you hook it up. Usually, you'd connect the RCA output of you device (DVD, set top box, etc.) to the transmitter. In which case, no, you don't need to turn the sending TV on.

They recommend that the unit placed in the last position just prior to the tv or projector. The connections are HDMI. So in your set up it would be connected to the HDMI out from your receive then to the HDMI in on your projector using two HDMI cables. There is some forums that suggest that the HDMI cables be 6 feet or longer and rated as high speed.

Shouldn't be a problem. The infrared illuminator is built in and runs off the camera's power supply. The output is standard CATV.

As long as the projector has the dlp link, you're good. These don't use the ir emitter.

Unfortunatly the unit has to be powered on and has no pass thru. Although there is a solution to your problem. You can split the HDMI signal with a J-Tech Quality HDMI splitter, which Amazon sells. One can go directly to the TV from source 1 and the other can go to the HDMI amp from source one.

Don't think it sends HD Might send DVD if you connect transmitter directly to DVD player.

There is not. I have mine behind my TV, and it works fine. I think that it may be using RF, rather than IR, but would have to double-check.

Yes, the unit is intended to be RCA to VGA, and it is not USB powered. However, I must tell you that the unit I purchased was non-functional right out of the box and I returned it immediately. On a positive note, the refund from Amazon was credited promptly.

nope. its wired with av component. and it may or may not even come with a power supply. Mine didnt. Im sure u could purchase a wireless transmitter to work with it, though

what I ended up doing was using a hdmi cable for audio. I have a hdmi cable going from the projector into the receiver. Then a hdmi cable from the receiver to the ps3. I turn the projector screen on by using the receiver remote and a display box for the reiciever comes up on the projector screen to make adjustments. I hear that optical cables work just as good.

I was not able to hook it up directly. I plugged the DVD sound to an external speaker and I plugged the video to the projector. Plugging the sound cable directly to the projector did not work for me.

you can use rca cable input and output on the projector for audio connection. Or for the external speakers, you can lead a cable from the video source to a Powered speaker or through a receiver for a non-powered speaker.

Hi, you need select the HDMI source input, and put the right bottom, this is the instruction to the projector to display the signal.

To do anything, first you have to set it up right, program the rf-20 to take the place of all your remotes. My setup uses the audio receiver as the "heart" of the system. The DVD and cable box feed the receiver with audio and video, then the receiver feeds the projector and speakers. I hit "audio" from the main menu, then that switches the rf-20 into a control mode for the receiver. One of the menu options is "input", by pushing that button, the receiver toggles through all possible hdmi input options. You can also program one of the buttons as a "macro" which will automatically turn the components into the right operating position. It takes pre-programming about 10 steps for my system to do it right, but is very possible.
