Does the receiver have to be visible/ turned towards the remote for the remote to work? Planning on putting it on the back of my monitor.

Yes it definitely helps. I have mine mounted on the back in such a way that the receiver hangs below the TV enough to pick up the signal from the remote. I suggest a set-up in which the receiver is at least somewhat visible.

Yes it does, I haven't been able to get it to work if it wasn't aimed at it.

Mine works fine, I just have to make sure that I point it at the right angle. Double check bateries in remote and clean receiver on remote, if your still finding difficulties contact the seller.

No, but it is easier as it shows on the big screen. Otherwise it shows on the screen of the receiver.

That's the thousand dollar question for this cheap POS. I cannot get a reply from the seller. I can tell you, this product did not work for me. It worked for about 2 minutes, then it went static ridden, then went black, no signal. I could only assume that it's either truly a POS, or if it needs a power supply, since it has a plug for one. I don't know where to get a power supply to try to fully answer just your question, the remote will work once you plug in the receiver it comes with. I don't have a power supply, but my remote doss indeed work.

No you don't have to be pointing directly to the camera to operate the remote. It works very well from any angle.

Your Remote Control needs direct line of sight to the receiver - so as long as that is true you are all set. I have my TV mounted above fireplace with receiver mounted under the mantel, this has worked out great.

No, it does not. It might be hard to see on the remote, but it has only 3 buttons. You can increase the size of the pic so you can see that there is no display.

Not at all! It's green indicator light is small enough that it does not make light but yet bright enough so you can tell if your turning it up with remote

If your receiver passes-through the HDMI signal, then you don't need to turn the receiver on. Not all receivers do this, however. If yours does, just connect the various components to the switch's inputs, run the output to the receiver and from the receiver to the TV.

You have to be in sight of the very small end piece. I have mine on top of kitchen cabinets and have the very small receiver at the front edge and it works well. It's small enough not to be noticed.

Like a tv? It's a monitor. You can't change the channel. There are no infra red sensors to see the remote.

I'm not 100% sure I understand the question, but I think you ate talking about the I.R. emitter. .. you plug that into the back of the main unit (like the one near the cable box), you then take that blue part and face it towards the same place you point your remote on the cable box... that way you can point your remote at the "slave" unit (where the cable box isn't) and the signal can go into the slave, to the main, it then will travel through the cord thingy to the cable box (or whatever you're using).

The remote does need to be pointed directly at the IR receiver. However, the receiver can be located away from the TV or other equipment. The distance away is only limited by the length of the wires. So it could be the floor, ceiling or coffee table.

The reciever depends on the back channel from the TV. I agree it probably requires an DDCP handshake. It is depending on the TV to decode and send audio etc on the back channel. My "TV" is actually an old school monitor with no back channel so I could never get this to work. I was hoping for a straight through switch from the HDMI so that I could send multiple sources to my TV and pull off the sound. I was not able to do this with my TV

The remote for the screen comes prefigured for the screen. Just plug in the screen with the wired controller facing forward. Remember to aim the controller at the button box, not the screen frame.

The remote is Infra Red so it will not work through a door and, yes, you do need a clear path to the receiver.

1)This device is nothing more than a infra-red amplifier. It receives the signal from the remote control on the large head, amplify it, and transmit it out again on the transmitter LED on the small head. The large head (receiver) should be placed facing the TV room, the small head(transmitter) should be glued to the receiving area of the device you want to control/improve reception. Look for an indication on the front of the device saying "IR" or "IR receiver" or an area with a red/purple acrylic cover. Stick the small head right on it. 2)It doesn't need to attached to your tv. It doesn't need to attached to anything other than a USB power supply (wall adapter provided) or any USB port for that matter. If your TV has a USB port, you can use it instead. 3)Your TV remote, or any other device's remote will work as usual. The device you attached the small head to will improve reception, as expected.
