Not compatible
By stacef
This receiver is not compatible with my IR repeater box. My box runs off of a 12 VDC (Volts DC) power supply, but converts it to 5 VDC for use in the receiver ports. What this products details fail to mention is that this receiver runs off 12 VDC. I'm sure it is a great receiver if you have a 12 VDC system, unfortunately mine is not. Details: Tip = signal, Ring = GND, Sleeve = +12VDC.

UPDATE: I tried to return this IR receiver via Amazon return policy, but I got an email back from Unique Products Online that says (I'm copy & pasting here):

Under the product description it says.

So as you can see by the note this only works with our IR systems

So as you can see, they will not let me return the product. I've worked on electronics on a component level for a number of years and one thing I've learned is that information is the key to a successful project. If they will not provide the necessary information, maybe someone can stumble across my review and find some useful information. Buyer beware when buying this IR receiver. Downgraded from 2 to 1 star.

This is an amazing deal
By Scott Petersen
I had a problematic situation with my Sony LCD where no IR receiver would work, I would get nasty IR interference for many minutes at a time. I have used two different Xantech IR receivers, used all sorts of hacks, like covering the IR receiver in paper or tape, moved the receiver to different location, etc. and was about to throw in the towel and purchase an expensive RF system when I stumbled on this product. I figured for $15, I would give it a try. Hoo boy am I glad I did! This receiver plugged right into my xantech block and works with all of my devices, but best of all, no more IR interference!!!!! It's like night and day, seriously. If you need an IR target/receiver, this is the one to get.

Works great!!
By Jsun
Receiver works great!! I used a 50 ft extension cable with this receiver and it works with all my components.....Denon receiver, Pace DVR, XBox 360, LG TV. It is small so i hide it under the bottom lip of the tv. Can't beat it for 15 bucks!!
