Be sure the emitter is attached directly over the component’s IR receiver.
To locate the IR receiver, shine a flashlight into the unit and look for the sensor.

Directivity of IR Sensor
The effective receive distance of all IR receivers changes when the IR remote control is not directly in front of the IR sensor.
The graph below describes the performance of the IR sensor device used in this Channel Vision IR receiver. Please note that the graph below marks the distance as a percentage of the maximum distance. So at 0º, the distance is 1.0 (or 100%) and at 30º, the distance is 0.7 (or 70%) and so on.
Actual transmission distances are dependent upon frequency of remote control (40kHz has max range) and luminosity of remote control (i.e. Some remotes are brighter than others.)

Accessories
The IR-4101 is an IR coax adaptor that works with Channel Vision’s
IR coax engine to enable the transmission of Infrared remote control signals onto the same coax cable that delivers your cable TV.
Channel Vision’s IR coax engine can be found in the following products: IR-4000, E2200IR, E3200IR, E4200IR, and P-0321.

Basic IR-on-coax Setup
A basic IR system, like the one shown below, is often used when an audio/video signal is distributed to a remote TV location using the RF output of the device. The IR-4101 is located near the TV, allowing IR signals to be detected, and the IR-4000 is located near the audio/video source, providing an IR emitter output.
