    • ; (4) take one of the repeater's emitting cables and plug it into the back of the distribution block; (5) separate the emitter cable down the middle from the emitter head end for some convenient distance to give you whatever free length you need to work with (each cable has two emitters, the other one can go to any other A/V component), and run one emitter to your A/V component (in my case, through the hole in the back of the console); (6) place the emitter head (with the peel-away covering over its adhesive surface STILL IN PLACE) in contact with the front of the A/V unit in the area where you have already approximately located the component's IR sensor; (7) position the front of the remote control for the A/V component close to the IR receiver sensor (the remote must also be out of the line of sight to the A/V component); (8) move the emitter head over the front of the component while using the A/V's remote to turn the A/V component on and off (pointed close to the repeater's sensor, as noted above); (9) once you have pinpointed the A/V component's IR sensor by this method, decide where you want the emitter cable to lead away from the component (such as beneath the component, across its top, or off to its nearest side), peel away the protective tape from the adhesive on the emitter head, and firmly press the emitter head in place over the component's IR sensor so that the emitter cable leads away in the desired direction.
    • Was concern about possible lag when using the remote, but no lag at all, works as though the unit is right in front of you.
    • As a result, I bought a second unit which worked just as he said it would
    • The PS3 and Onkyo work and are as responsive as when I had them configured in the living room without using the repeater
    • The receivers have a built-in LED to indicate they are powered as well as when they are relaying IR signals.
