Although I haven't tested it with any of our other devices yet, my Onkyo TX-SR806 receiver functions flawlessly with it. To free up space, I moved the receiver to a different room. Naturally, this meant I required a reliable method of sending remote signals to it. Even though the Onkyo has an IR input port, this repeater seemed like a more cost-effective option because it works with a limited number of devices. If you don't want to see the lights coming from the device, you should arrange to hide it someplace. An LED indicator light flashes in time with the signal the device receives. It's not a significant concern as its easy to deal with and is useful for debugging, just something to be aware of. Since the IR sensor is not labeled on the front of the receiver, I did first have some difficulty figuring out where to put the IR emitters, which caused some signal reliability problems until I fixed them. I covered the IR emitter on my Onkyo remote with a straw to make the signal extremely divisible so I could locate the IR input.

My audio/video system, which is housed in a solid oak console with closing front doors and includes a CD player, Blu-ray player, DVR, and cable box, has been operating well with the help of this IR repeater. There is no need for a TV repeater because the TV's infrared sensor is visible. It looks like this product was made with high quality components throughout. The instructions were easy to follow and offered multiple suggestions for locating the infrared sensor on each piece of equipment. In order to locate the sensor, move the remote for that particular A/V component left, right, up, and down on the front of the component until it touches. This will help you narrow down the location of the sensor by identifying where the remote turns the device on and off and where it does not. I discovered that the remote functioned in an area that was usually one or two square inches, and it was usually very broad. It is not mentioned in the instructions that, after the component's IR sensor's general location is

I now use three of these at my place because I truly like them. I can honestly claim they are well-made and long-lasting because the original one in my home theater has been in constant use for more than five years. It's significant that I've been able to purchase the same model three times in more than five years because things come and go frequently, and it's a positive sign when a product lasts this long. Its ability to accommodate two or more receivers—it only comes with one, but you can get more receivers on MYS/YSH—is a feature I really enjoy. Because of this, it is quite adaptable. Excellent range; I frequently use the IR remote from more than thirty feet away in one of my installations. ADVICE: When using a home theater system, place the receiver either above or INSIDE the center speaker. For my home theater I extended the receiver (using 3.5mm audio cable), that way I can point at the screen because my equipment is in a rack to the right. The equipment was behind a metal door that blocked the view, so I mounted the receiver on the top of the center speaker in a different room with a more basic setup.
