Previous users have experienced certain compatibility issues with Yamaha HTR 6140 AV receiver and Arris DCX 3520E-M high-definition DVR. Your Fire TV Cube connects to an HDMI port on your TV, so it needs to be close enough to your TV that your HDMI cable can reach.

Some remote extenders are hybrids – their work is based on the combined use of RF (radio frequencies) and IR (infrared frequencies). They are convenient since they don’t require a clear line of sight between the transmitter and receiver. When you tune to the Fire TV Cube HDMI port on your TV, the Fire TV Cube starts up for the first time and takes you through the following setup process:Fire TV Cube is a combination of a streaming media device and an Alexa-enabled smart speaker. The latter means that you can send voice commands to the Fire TV Cube to control your TV and Fire TV, and the Fire TV Cube also responds to questions and other utterances. Before continuing with the Fire TV portion of the setup, it makes sense to first learn the basics of your Fire TV Cube’s Alexa hardware. The receiver can receive the signal from up to 28ft (it depends on the strength of the remote, too). The extender has been tested with numerous devices made by all kinds of brands and it’s safe to say that it is compatible with all the IR-controlled devices. Things we don’t like TV or sound system speakers can befuddle the Fire TV Cube’s built-in microphone, so make sure all speakers are at least 1 to 2 feet away from your Fire TV Cube. Fire TV Cube asks you to choose your language. 2. Use the Alexa Voice Remote to choose the language you want to use. The extender is compatible with a wide range of cable boxes including Verizon Fios cable boxes. If the device is compatible with your cable box, it will deliver flawless performance.

Unlike many other universal remote extenders, this one doesn’t work with AV receivers, smart TVs, and other IR-controlled devices.

The good news is that you don’t have to buy batteries since they are rechargeable. If you get the IR Blaster with your new Sony TV, you’re probably going to end up using it. It might even become a super useful device that you’ll forget is even there.

The receiver and transmitter communicate through radio frequency (433.92MHz) and don’t have to be connected to each other through wires. They can communicate through walls and wood (no line of sight) and the maximum range is 330ft. Fire TV Cube asks if you want Alexa to help you set up your TV and other equipment. 12. Choose Continue. Your Fire TV Cube requires full-time power, so make sure there’s an outlet close enough to the device.An often overlooked problem is that people don’t have access to power when using an IR extender. If you don’t have any outlets, that is not a problem. We recommend the InjectIR- IR over HDMI. The Inject IR takes power from the HDMI and needs no external power source. Just plug and play over your already installed HDMI cable. Do I want a Wall Plate?

Completing the Setup You can typically answer this question very easily by looking to see if the IR extender is Single Band or Dual Band. Dual Band typically is able to extend IR for the most common products like Blu Ray players and projectors, and if it has RC-MM protocol then it should be able to control majority of cable boxes. What is the difference between dual band or single band? This is, by far, the most interesting solution when it comes to IR extenders. It’s not the most capable and doesn’t give you the best possible range, but it looks really cool. Inside a tiny box, you will find a single cable with an IR receiver on one end and a 3.5mm gold-plated stereo plug on the other. The cable is 9ft long. Second, the IR Extender isn’t great at dodging obstacles. This means that you should avoid placing an obstacle between the IR Extender’s sensor and its receiver.
