And when we purchased a new larger TV, which plays audio through the Sony because all TV speakers are junk, the Sony ended up being relocated to a place totally outside the range of the factory remote. But I really needed the remote to work so I could turn down the volume during TV ads.So I searched the Internet for a solution. One issue is that my old Sony receiver employs a 40KHz IR remote, which is less common. Since this unit is designed to work over a range of frequencies, I crossed my fingers and ordered it. I then added a jack to the back of my Sony and wired it in parallel with the internal IR sensor (Sleeve=Gnd, Tip=5VDC, Ring=IR signal).I was please to discover that this IR receiver not only worked with my old [now hacked] Sony receiver, but is more sensitive than the factory solution. So this remote sensor is now located out of human view, and still gets a reliable signal from the Sony remote signals that bounce off the ceiling.The bottom line is that with this unit, a couple dollars for a female jack, and a little soldering, I now have a discreet reliable remote control solution for my stereo & TV entertainment center. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just What I Needed *by S***B on October 31, 2018* I wanted an IR Receiver Extender to work with a Cox Mini-Box (Cisco DTA 250HD/HD-uDTA-C) and a Cox URC-2220-R remote. Thought this would be easy to accomplish but nothing is ever easy in today's technology world. The Product Information was extremely helpful and pointed out that I needed an IR IN device rather than an IR OUT device. Further, I had seen information addressing 38 kHz and 56 kHz. This device handles both. The installation was very easy - just plug it into the box. I had seen a comment about disconnecting power from the box, plugging in the extender, and then plugging the box back in. I did not see this in the limited information that came with the product but did it anyway just to be on the safe side. Everything worked as I expected it to. The product was delivered on time and I would definitely recommend it if you have an application that could use such a device. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Seems like you almost have to be level with the remote ... *by M***7 on October 11, 2017* These sensors do work with my Cisco DVR boxes, however, I have noticed that placement of the sensor is key. Seems like you almost have to be level with the remote (give or take) to get it to work. For example, in our family room, I mounted the sensor on the top of the TV, so maybe 3.5 feet off the floor. And when sitting on the couch, it will only work if you hold the remote up in the air. So I am going to have to move the sensor to the bottom of the TV and see if that works better. So I would recommend playing with it a little before permanently mounting it with the double sided tape. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/15929696-9ft-3-5-5v-38-56khz-infrared-external-ir-remote](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/15929696-9ft-3-5-5v-38-56khz-infrared-external-ir-remote) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
