Question: Where do you place the sensor? Hi,I'm thing about getting this Hot Link Pro Remote Control Booster. I'm just not sure where you place the sensor? Do you attach it to the side of the TV?Thanks
Document: Previously, I purchased the Radio Shack Remote Control Extenders and I hated it. The Hot Link Pro Remote Control Booster fixed all the things wrong with the old system. It is easy to setup, easy to use and very, very sensitive. I have experienced only one glitch. It is so sensitive that during the first two minutes after I turn on my 42" HD TV the TV over rides the IR signal. This goes away quickly and I'm sure it may have more to do with where I've located the receiver.
The seller is engaged in selling & supporting this product as only its inventor can. Thanks! The Hot Link Pro worked beautifully in helping my elderly parents point their (Logitech Harmony One) remote at one target and have all the components respond without any misses (before, if one component didn't "see" a command, everything got out of sync. The Hot Link Pro has been by far the easiest solution to 'fixing' things when I'm not around: Avoid the problem in the first place! ).The Hot-Link sensor/receiver is very sensitive, but it's easy to watch the blue LED during installation to see best placement: Get it as DIM as possible when no command is being sent (Do this in the daytime for worst-case fool-proofing because ambient light can be IR-noisy too); get it as BRIGHT as possible when the remote is sending a command from the user's chair(s).I placed the Hot Link signal sensor behind the pedestal-mounted flat-panel TV (52" Sony XBR52), facing backwards toward the wall because the front of the TV is pretty noisy IR-wise.
When we had our surround sound system installed in our new home three years ago we wanted all the equipment to be out of site, in a closet, behind the wall at the side of our built-in entertainment alcove. The installer was able to set that up for something like $300+ and it works fine. When we needed a similar installation in our business I Googled around 'til I found Hot Link Pro. It did exactlty the same thing for $75 plus about 15 minutes of my time.The only real work involved is creating the pathway for the two wires that need to be in view of the place from which you want to control everything.
The Hot Link Pro did this very well, with the infrared sensor coming with a velcro fastener to attach simply and the infrared distributors feeding up to 6 separate devices.The installation was simple, easy to understand, and worked. The feedback mechanism is great to let you know that the device is receiving a signal from the remotes.I would highly recommend the Hot Link Pro to anyone who needs to distribute infrared remote signals to a device in a cabinet or hard to reach place.
I had the problem how to use my remote controls with my hidden AV-Receiver, Cable Box, DVD player.The hot link pro remote, was easy to install (finding the right place for the remote IR flasher can be a little difficult). But other then that the Hot Link Pro Remote works like a charm with my Harmony remote control.I like that the remote system is more sensitive then the original set up.No more getting up from the kitchen table. If only the universal remote were easier to program and explain to my wife!The price is also right
We've tried several remote boosters; attempting to access components that reside behind our sofa/opposite side of the room from our projection screen.The Hot Link Pro Remote Control Booster System works perfectly and it was easy to install. We highly recommend. Two thumbs up!
The Cables to Go unit had a blue feed back LED built into the box, so it couldn't be seen once the unit was mounted inside the cabinet and the doors were closed.The Hot Link Pro unit was easy to put together and setup. The wires for the individual sensors can easily be separated from the ribbon cable by gently pulling on them until you get enough free wire to attach the emitter to your electronic component's IR sensor.Overall, the best thing about this unit is that it simply works. If you do happen to have issues, contact Microsmith as they were very responsive and helpful.
While standing to one side so as to not add local reflection, place the Eye on the back of the TV and roll it until the Confirmation LED turns completely off.Since an IR repeater must be broad band and many of the frequencies that cause noise are very near the remote frequencies, multiple direct frequency filtering is actually less effective than power vector filtering accomplished by mounting the Eye in a hidden location. The energy in the vector of the remote going forward is greater than the vector of the noise of the TV reflecting back toward the TV.Doors open and not functioning properly:The Hot Link Pro does work with the doors open as well as closed, unless noise is not mitigated or if the LCD or Plasma TV are sending out IR noise directly to the AV gear and affecting remote performance.Remote To Eye Distances enhanced:Hot Link Pro enhances useful distances of remotes.
We said "sure, so now there are no wires or components in the room and she is absolutely delighted.As part of accomplishing that project, I bought another Hot-Link Pro (through Amazon) and installed it. The hardest part of the entire installation was getting all the connection wires pulled though the wall behind the TV, up into the attic & back down into the closet. The distance required about 16' of cable. Now, I had planned for the longer HDMI & component video cables for this chore, but I forgot to take the longer distance into account for the Hot-Link Pro and, not surprisingly, I found that the supplied cables just wouldn't reach.The instructions warn against using "just any" extension cable and suggest using the extension cables that Microsmith sells, but that would have required placing an order and waiting for it to arrive.
I have my components behind glass doors in the entertainment center. This unit now allows me control all the components without any problems. I'm very satisfied with how the unit works as well as the quality of the construction. One small note I would like to make, make sure you place the self-sticking IR diodes over the correct spot on each of your components in order for it to work properly. If you already have your components stacked in the cabinet like I do, tape each sensor onto a flat yard stick and feed under each component from the back of the cabinent to the front where the sensors are located-it makes the job very easy to do.
Answer: Thanks Marcus. One more question. How long is the wire for the sensor. I ask because my components are about 5 feet away from the TV. Would this be a problem?
