JobSite IR-E1 Single IR Emitter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the IR blaster TiVo should've included instead of those stick-type junk; I had tried various positioning & shrouding and still resulted in missing or double digits to my satellite tuner. I really wish I had gotten the JobSite IR-E1 emitter earlier. Channel changing is now far more accurate. Plus it has a smaller footprint and looks a lot neater.

The IR-E1 IR emitter works in conjunction with an IR receiver and connecting block to transmit remote control commands to A/V components. When the system is fully installed, it's possible to control your entertainment system from virtually anywhere in the home. The emitter also lets you store components in a closet or other out-of-the-way location without sacrificing remote operation, making it an essential accessory for users with "hidden" A/V setups.
System integration starts with an IR receiver, which sets up in your "control" room, i.e., the room from which you want to operate your CD player, DVD player, etc. The receiver reads the commands from your remote control and sends them to the IR connecting block, which serves as the signal hub. The connecting block then routes the signal to the IR-E1 emitter, which is mounted on the infrared window of the component. As the emitter reads the information, it tells the component to play, skip, repeat, record, or whatever else you want it to do.
Each component requires its own IR emitter, and homeowners who want to control their system from several rooms will need IR receivers for each room and a multi-zone connecting block. Installation is relatively straightforward, as the IR-E1 comes with self-adhesive backing, though you may have to route the emitter wire from the top or side of the component to avoid front trays or doors. Other details include compatibility with virtually all IR remote controls, a 4-foot line-of-sight transmitting range, and a blocking cover that prevents components from receiving commands from sources other than the IR-E1.
The emitter comes with 10 feet of 24-gauge wire with a 3.5 mm plug; however, JobSite recommends using 18-gauge wire for distances of up to 20 feet and 16-gauge wire for distances between 20 and 200 feet. The unit measures 0.31 by 0.19 by 0.5 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a two-year warranty.
