When the unit is plugged into the IR port, do you lose the ability to change channels from the IR signal on the box?

don't buy this product..it is a skimpy little wire, only 7 ft long..nothing like picture..and it didn't even work

this is not meant to plug into any device except the repeater system, IR Repeater System - Hidden IR Control System for Home Theater , this is an emitter and goes in front of the purple dot on most home electronics and repeats the ir signal from the ir receiver , its for use when you put all electronics in a closet and your remote wont go thru the doors. hope that helps.

I bought it as a replacement for my Google TV since I lost the original cable in a move. I haven't been to thrilled about this cable I bought off Amazon. It's a hit or miss of when it works. When it's working it changes the channel just fine.

As I remember, no. I didn't like my induction unit and ended up going to infa-red. IR allows the use of all vessels and doesn't emit anywhere near the RF signal the induction unit does.

I had the ame issue, You will need to upgrade the firmware of the IR Link in order to do so. i signed up with this site and found the answers http://www.ftaconcept.com/. Hope that helps

It may be a setting on the dvr or a issue with the power connection but I would order another one to replace to be safe. You could spend more time troubleshooting than makes sense. You can try covering the camera to provoke the ir feature and see if it loses signal.

Yes! Hooked it up to the spare satellite box I had in mechanical room in my garage. We did put the sensors outside the door to the mechanical room so only garage door was between the sensors and the garage across the street (about 250'+ away). We had IR before but it went out and couldn't get replacements to work. They kept malfunctioning/burning out. This has been working for 6+ months now and actually has better response when changing channels than other system we had. We channeled cable from main house underground to the remote garage along with transmitter but the transmitter went down. Box is in main house. Happy to finally have a solution!

There is no IR receiver that I know of or see. Remote capability is via Z-wave communication.

All it does is redirect the IR signal from a remote to rf into the other x10 which converts it back to IR. It should operate with as many as it can keep in line of sight. I have mine right next to my receiver and have no problems controlling my DVD player or cable box above it. It should control anything.

Yes, this issue has been fixed. With the blue case I purchased a couple months ago, the IR port was free and I can control my receiver, DirecTV and projector.

I don't know but I have never had this problem. I think you can change then channel on the remote. Check the instructions.

If I understand the question correctly, when receiving an ir command there is a small led that indicates receiving signal Hope this helps

No, cannot adjust, but after many fails which initially attributed to power of signal, I found that you have to FULLY cover the IR ports with electrical tape after installing the emitters because of stray/duplicate signals. I have Uverse & in the end covered the whole front plastic portion with tape. Works great now. Hope it helps.

If the comes on and you're not hearing anything, switch channel. If I move out of range of the IR it cuts off. Make sure you're in range.

I haven't noticed anything like that. Although if you were concerned about that, you can put the transmitter on a different channel than the receiver when plugging in.

Yes, you can switch at the box its self. The illuminated lights that show what system channel your on, are also buttons. Just push the desired channel and it will switch to that channel. On and off button operates the same.

I've never tried that, but I do know that the three input ports are set to detect incoming signals and automatically switch to that port. I'm not sure if that detection system would interfere with trying to make those ports output ports.

I don't think there's a way unless you make modifications to the front panel (as in make a hole in it)While it wouldn't be integrated, you could install an external IR module somewhere nearby

The IR port is where the infared sensor with a wire plugs into so u can mount the sensor in a conveinent location for remote control operation while keeping switcher hidden. DC port not sure I just unplugged it (had it plugged in) and it still works.
