How to HIDE your AV Equipment and still use the Remote Controls by using IR (infrared) Extenders

- Hi, this video shows you a solution for hiding your A/V equipment in a different location to your TV and still being able to use the infrared remote controls. By using the IR remote control extenders it allows you to put the receiver by the TV and then the set top box/ DVD player etc. elsewhere.
If you want this product or want to read reviews then look at UK Amazon Affiliate link amzn.to/2NT327U . I will get a small percentage of the sale if this link is used, (you do not pay anymore for it).
Many thanks, Vince - Навчання та стиль
I've got to say that is the best cable management under a cabinet. Most people wouldn't care since they can just close the door. Great video
Another useful video, vince keep up the work!! 👌🔥
Hey, this is smart! I’m going to this at my parents in law. They’ll love it! Thanks!
Outstanding video. Good information in a short & professional video. Well done!
Another informative and no nonsense tutorial
Another first class video, thank you
Fantastic job mate thanks for a great video
That's a great idea. Like the neat and tidy aspect of it all.
Love your job, still like this
Love your videos vince thanks again!
You should do a video on the broadlink rm pro+!
Nice helpful tip there Vince =D
I have one of those cheapo extenders with the little wires that you stick on each box. It does work well but occasionally the glue comes unstuck & the sensors fall off. I like yours better. Not sure if there's enough room for one of those blasters to reach across the front of my boxes though as they are a tight fit, very close to the door.
Super helpful. Thank you!
Great review thanks for the nod 👍
Hi Vince, what can you suggest for connecting a TVin a living room to av devices under the stairs? Using Network cabling
Very nice Video. I need that to.
Very usefull for neat room designs.
Anybody know what those wire hiding strips are called? Can I purchase them online? Thanks for the great informative video. I found this video while looking up how to hide my TV's infrared red light when the TV is off.
Hello! Could you tell me if there is anything I can do about my hdmi cable from tv to my by box? Is there any good wireless hdmi products?? Thanks
Very tidy cabling. What trunking did you use to hide the cabling? As you mentioned I have the cheaper ones that you are meant to stick on the devices themselves. I used to do that but can fall off and do leave nasty sticky residue on your equipment. I now have them stuck on the back of my cabinet doors. I do prefer your repeater better maybe time for an upgrade! Great video mate!
How do you connect the HDMI cable etc? I don't see any wires to your equipment, and i get that the IR remote controls the function, but how do you bypass the actual connections?
How did you get socket plugs inside your cabinet
Hello! will a dvd player receive a signal if it is mounted behind peg board please?
Do these stick to the tv or do they have a clip thing? If they have glue they should work on a crt 📺
you need WD-40 for your dvd remote
Blasts it lol, love it this is going to help me make things look much more tidy. Do you have a link please Vince?
It might be a Marmitek "Invisible Control 6 XTRA"
Great info. It doesn’t ship to the states. Is that brand just a UK thing? Thanks.
I think I can buy one of these and have it shipped to the USA, but did yours include plugs for other countries or just for the UK?
is that a 37 inch plasma TV you have there?
Nice little video, the cable set up there is so neat, I would love some tricks and tips on how to organise my death trap fire hazard I have under my TV haha. One question though, the 5v USB to plug you have there would it not also work to plug the use just a microUSB cable from the box into the back of the TV to power it and save on the plug space or would it require proper power from the wall?
The TV usb sockets do not give enough power
@@Alexander_l322 oh that's disappointing. Thanks for the reply. :)
nice idea vince but even more I just use an amazon fire tv stick no wires at all👌👍
Hey Vince. I am in the U.S. Can I get this product? Thanks
Nice one
What if I want to transmit this to 3 different TVs ? It looks like it only gives the option to send it to 2 other TVs
Liked an subed
Hi Vince. What is the make and model of your unit? too many to choose from on amazon and ebay. thanks
It might be a Marmitek "Invisible Control 6 XTRA"
I didn’t know about those devices so this was fab for me......also, out of interest, for those who like to remake/recover/remodel etc did you know that you can buy coloured acrylic sheets that allow IR light to pass through them.....👍
It's just blasting out the code from whatever remote you are using and the device that is pared with that code communicates with the remote. Not bad thing if you like a clean setup
Good stuff Vince. But what is up with the squeecky buttons on the dvd remote Making a cracking sound every time you pressed one?Lol
Haha, yeah I think they might need a bit of a clean :-)
Bro can you do some videos on avr receiver plz
Bloody hell, can you come sort all the cables out behind my TV unit 😊
sean wilson I'll do it my one entertainment unit took me probably 4 hours just too sort all the cables nicely. I'm picky like that so I take extra time make it look nice cause to me having look nice is just as important
What about adequate ventilation of the equipment in the cupboards?
If you have room behind the cupboards, then cut a hole and maybe get one of these and hook it to an available USB on one of the devices or just a USB brick www.amazon.com/ARCTIC-Breeze-Mobile-Flexible-Portable/dp/B003XN24GY/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=USB+arctic+fan&qid=1552239644&s=gateway&sr=8-1&tag=duckduckgo-20
You don't have to cut a hole, but having a few of these running inside there can keep it cool enough to keep working
Great vid mate, what brand and where did you get it from?
It might be a Marmitek "Invisible Control 6 XTRA"
Fred Leckie thanks ‘fred’ I’ll have a look👍🏻
Don't you have issues with your devices overheating from being tucked away in the cupboard ? I know in the summer my sky box gets quite hot.
My Virgin box is untouchable and that's sat on top of my sideboard
3:07 explains difference between IR blaster and old gen repeaters.
Great advice, maybe advice to have suitable ventilation for the equipment in future ..
Would be nice to know where to buy it and what make and model.

I was going to desoilder the ir sensor off of the TV box attach a wire and put the sensor on the outside of the cabinet. But I just canceled the TV service :)
What about ventilation
Did I miss where you gave the make and model number? TIA
Hi, there should be a link to the product in Amazon (UK) in the description. Thanks :-)
@@Mymatevince it is thanks, my apologies
Very good video mate but I don't see no AV equipment 🤔
Make more videos on communication
people still use set top boxes?? i moved on to just my pc, tablet, roku long ago.
Good
I don't think I have any IR remotes any more. I would prefer them over the RF type
Can you come to my flat and do my cable management for me please?
those vertical bricks by the fireplace tho..
If your reading this have a good day
you think your brother ( paul ) has done a good job there ? heard at the end .....i'm confused lol
I prefer my Logitech Harmony Hub/Companion Remote combo, as it gets rid of all the remotes in favour of just one. And it also does bluetooth as well as i can use it with my firstick and nvidia shield
gmanpanthro Not if a device still uses iR still gotta point it at the machine
Ryan Scherbluk the hub has 2 ir blasters connected to it that can be positioned anywhere u want. I can even turn on the tv, or other connected devices when im not even in the house. As its all connected to my online harmony account. I got a call from my mother saying she couldnt get the tv to come one one day while i was on the bus to work. I was able to turn it on vis the harmony app on my phone and i was 5 miles away.
Use mouse or keyboard from other rooms ..multi display multi controls
wow
walking seems simpler

The problem I see with that setup is there's no way to cool off the devices. They can overheat in that situation.
Exactly that. Would never put any device that has a fan built into it to blow out hot air in a confined space. Both those devices have fans to blow out. They also need colder air coming in.
@@FrodoUK they could easily alter the area itself to add some airflow but people do get so into the idea of "I don't want to see any cables" that they forget the importance of heat and restraints of such devices.
The you view box doesn't have a fan in. Not sure about the DVD player but I'd imagine they will not over heat lol. If it was a game console or tivo box then it would need the doors open.
maybe they don't have fans but electrical items get hot.
@@FrodoUK Set too boxes alone do. Mine does not have a fan and it is hot to the touch and my room is below ambient temperatures often.
First to like and first comment. Keep it up.
