Hot Link Pro Remote Control Booster System ( 8225P )
Hot Link Pro completes your home theater system with a super slim-line infrared eye!The Hot Link patented system constantly monitors the ambient light and noise floor. In darker ambient light it becomes more sensitive to remote control pulses, making the eye the most sensitive it can be based on ambient light environment. When the eye is in a "hidden" location behind a speaker grill, tucked up in a toe-kick or in a door slot it compensates for the expected loss in distance by becoming more sensitive to the pulses emitted from remote controls.You can get great remote control roaming freedom, and enhanced beauty of your home theater.

Hot Link Pro Remote Control Booster System ( 8225P ) Reviews
The response to my questions were very fast and helpful. Works great after getting some help from Customer Support.
If I was a complainer I would say the IR "Eye" was a poor design: It is cylindrical and the window is a narrow slit on the SIDE of the cylinder. the first served flawlessly for years until I physically crunched the brain box by accident. I had learned to use those stick-on plastic SCOTCH wire tie pads with good success, but now I used hot glue in multiple places on the wire very near the eye. This is my second one of these. All my fault. The stiff wire tends to make the cylinder roll to its blind side, and there is no easy way to positively position it. Nothing else offered the huge number of stick-on IR repeaters and low cost.
Some of the manuals for the components do not indicate where the receiver is located, so you have to try to locate them visually, or by trial and error. Once set up, the system works perfectly.
The Hot Link Pro system allows me to control all the components without having to open the doors of the credenza. I have a wall mounted plasma with a credenza below containing 6 components.
The Hot Link Pro system works just as described. It was very easy to install, and the instructions are well written and very clear about how to set the system up.
I highly recommend it. This is well explained in the Hot Link Pro instructions.
It took about an hour to set up the system, with the bulk of the time spent locating the IR receivers on some of the components.
The remotes work from all over the room even without line of sight which they didn't when had my components on a table. I can't comment on customer service or other issues because I just plugged this in, connected the little thingies to the components and everything worked. I then moved the receiver eye under the cabinet and it worked like a charm. I almost bought one of those $300 IR repeaters but decided to give this a try. I moved all my components into a cabinet so I needed something so I didn't have to keep the doors open. This thing is great. The only problem I had was at night when all my lights were on, the blue light stayed on indicated a remote was sending a signal.
Does what it says. Definately worth the very low price compared to similar products Easy one step installation.
