Q: What is an IR remote repeater?
An IR remote repeater is a device that helps your remote control work even when it can't see the IR sensor on your TV. This is useful if your TV is in a cabinet or has a frame mirror TV. To use an IR remote repeater, you need to plug it into an outlet and then place it in front of the IR sensor on your TV. Once you do that, you can control your TV from anywhere in the room.
Here are some of the benefits of using an IR remote repeater:
You can reposition the IR sensor anywhere. This is great if you have a frame mirror TV or want to hide the IR sensor.
You can control your TV from anywhere in the room. This is great if you have a large TV or if you want to be able to control your TV from the couch.
It's easy to install. You can install an IR remote repeater in minutes.
If you want to improve your remote control, an IR remote repeater is a great option. It's a simple and affordable way to get more control over your TV.
Here are some tips for installing an IR remote repeater:
Place the repeater in line of sight with the IR sensor on your TV.
If you're placing the repeater on the back of the TV, make sure it's close enough to the sensor so that the signal can reach it.
Test the repeater by pointing your remote control at an area that doesn't turn on/off the TV. If the remote turns the TV on, the repeater works appropriately.
