IR Receivers

The Xtra Link 2 system provides full remote control operation of a satellite receiver, cable box or DVD player from a second room. IR control signals from the second room is sent to the main room by using the coaxial cable that carries the TV RF signal from the source equipment located in the main room to the second room. Easy hook-up in minutes without tools. All necessary parts are included. Double the value of your source components by controlling them from another room with the Xtra Link 2 system.

Miniature IR receiver that features surface mount technology. The 480 Dinky Link was originally developed in response to requests from many of our custom installers for a small, inconspicuous receiver. It was designed for placement in very tiny spaces. One example is between the grille and baffle board of an in-wall speaker. The high sensitivity of this receiver gives you the ability to place the 480 behind a grille and still receive the IR commands up to 20 feet away. If longer range is necessary, you must drill a 3/8-inch hole in the grille. The 480B-30 is a quick connect version of the 480B-00. Seven-foot cable with 3.5mm stereo mini plug permits direct plug-in to Xantech Connecting Blocks that have an "IR RCVR" or "AUX" jack, such as the CB12, CB20, CB60, 789-44, 791-44, etc.
