Answer
 +
With the Remote Extender you can use almost any
 +
remote to control televisions, VCRs, stereos, CD players, DVD players, DVRs, or
 +
satellite systems from anywhere in
 +
your home. The complete system consists of a transmitter and a
 +
receiver. You can add additional transmitters and receivers to extend remote control
 +
to more devices in more rooms.
 +
Setting up the Remote Extender
 +
*Put the transmitter in the room where the remote control is.
 +
Place it so the remote can be pointed at the transmitter without obstructions.
 +
*Plug the transmitter into a power outlet.
 +
*Make sure the front of it (with the Powermid name on it) faces you.
 +
*Position the receiver in the room with the audio-video device so the side with the logo points toward it. Extend its antenna.
 +
*Plug the receiver into a power outlet.
 +
Note: If it is not practical to position the receiver in this way, an optional IR extender
 +
cable is available.
 +
Test the Remote Extender
 +
Point your remote control at the Transmitter and press any
 +
button. The Transmitter receives the Infrared (IR) signals from
 +
your remote and converts them to Radio Frequency (RF) codes. It sends
 +
these codes (even through walls and ceilings) to the Receiver
 +
which converts the codes back into Infrared commands to control your Television, VCR, etc.            Related Articles
