The Marmitek IR 100 USB is a USB-powered infrared extender that lets you control any A/V device — digital TV decoder, Blu-ray player, Apple TV, Android box, or audio system — even when it is stored behind closed cabinet doors or out of direct line of sight. The system consists of a compact IR receiver and an IR blaster LED connected by extension cable.

Installation is straightforward: use any USB port on your A/V equipment or TV to power the unit. Position the small IR receiver where your remote control can reach it, then stick the IR blaster LED inside the cabinet to relay commands to your equipment. Only the IR receiver needs to be visible — the rest of the system stays out of sight.
