Product Description


Does your entertainment system have wooden doors or would you like to mount your components in a closet? Without a clear line of sight infrared (IR) signals from a remote control will not reach the equipment. We have the answer. Our Remote Control Repeater Kit contains all equipment necessary to remotely operate 4 components (expandable to 12 components) using your standard remotes. Mount the IR receiver in a central location and connect to the IR Distribution Block. This block repeats the signals through emitters to your electronic components. Your components may now be mounted in your entertainment center, closet or another room! The kit is self-contained and easy to connect. With this kit you may mount a receiver in a convenient place on or near your entertainment system. The receiver has a 9 foot cable that is then attached to the repeater system that is mounted in your entertainment cabinet. The kit includes 4 emitters. These emitters are connected from the repeater system and placed over the IR receiver of the equipment. Simple installation and hook up while using your existing remotes.

Product Review Summary: Very nice Product

This product works as described and I am very glad I purchased it.
The only issue I had was the Emitters do not stick that good, but all you have to do is tape them back on with scotch tape and then there are no issues.

Product Review Summary: Excellent Repeater - Works Great!

I bought this repeater kit to replace some radio frequency relays I had been using in my home theater. Even though the distance from the screen to the projection room was only about 40' with a paritition wall between the RF transmitter and receiver, they were very unreliable (most of the time they wouldn't work at all unless I left the doors open so there was an unobstructed path for the RF signal!). The CablesToGo 40430 works great, and the receiver uses a standard stereo 3.5mm plug so you can use any inexpensive M/F extension cable (I'm using a 50' cable and it works great). This unit costs less than a lot of similar units, installed easily and has plenty of room for expansion. I read reviews about it not being compatible with some equipment, I'm using it with my Comcast HD DVR (Motorola), Sony 5.1 amp and Oppo BD/DVD player and have no compatibility problems.

My only recommendation would be a little more detailed documentation on the control box. There are a lot of ports on there that are undocumented, I might have a use for them if I knew what they were for.

Product Review Summary: Great Product

This product does exactly what it claims it will do. If you have to go any distance this is not the product for you. I needed to go 65' and this item would not work , so I hooked it up with just what came in the box and every thing work real well.
Way to go Cables to Go.

Product Review Summary: Excellent Remote Control Repeater

Easy to install. Performed as advertised. Finally I've got all the components working in harmony and life is good.

Product Review Summary: Didn't work for me. Returned it

This item worked intermittently. It had a slow reaction rate when it did work. It was easier to keep the cabinet door open and use the remote than deal with the frustration of this device. It might work for other people, but it didn't work for me. Returned it. Amazon was great in accepting the return!
