Xantech DL85K LCD/CFL-Proof Dinky Link IR Receiver Kit

Nicely made and super easy instructions for connectin each color-coded wiring cables. The infrared remote control siganl pickup is excellent and all of the wires are long for easy installs. While the instructions are OK, they never mentioned if I could use a 3.5 mm extension cable to hook up my HK preamp which has remote inputs and outputs. I called Xantech to check on this and they said it should work fine - and it did. I expected everything would be fine, but I've learned to ask tech service first whenever possible.

Please don't order any other IR Kit. This one works everytime.

There is a reason why this kit costs more than some competitors. If you need an IR kit to work 100% from day 1, then this is the kit for you. IR receiver frequency is adjustable as well.

I'm a contractor that installs many of these things and after using almost every different brand, THIS one is the ONLY one that works perfectly under any and all situations. I've used cheaper ones that sometimes can't recognize different remote signals. Just spend the extra money and get the right one because there's nothing more annoying than a remote that doesn't work - or sporadically works! (you know what I'm talking about)

A bit more expensive, but most reliable on the market.

The packaging arrived tattered, showing signs that perhaps it hap been opened and handled prior to shipping to me. The mounting for the IR receiver is a nothing more than a strip of double stick tape. A bit underwhelming. It works great! Thank you. I have also used Xantech in the past and been pleased. At 4x the cost of the competition, I am concerned about the value I purchased. It works great, but the packaging was lackluster and the mounting options are sad.

First, I want to say Xantech makes a great product and this review is in no way against Xantech and their product. I have installed Xantech on many occasions with great results. This review is for the vendor, CRUTCHFIELD!! I ordered this for an installation in a Church for control of their projectors. CRUTCHFIELD cancelled my order because my son had not returned a defective product to them in 2010. My address and last name was on that order but I had nothing to do with the order and did not even know my son had placed any order or not returned any defective item in 2010 until today. I do not conduct business that way and let me assure CRUTCHFIELD if I owed you or anyone else a defective product it would most certainly of been returned. As I said, this has nothing to do with the product. Xantech makes a great product and I have since ordered from another source.

Package delivered before the actual date and in great condition! Tx!!
