I have an IR extender with the IR emitters and equipment behind a closed cabinet. (I forget which extender brand offhand, but its about 4 or 5 years old.)
Anyway, I just bought a Panasonic BD55 Blue-Ray, and I'm getting some flakey behaviour.
If I use the Panasonic remote through the extender, everything works fine. But if I use my Harmony One, operation is very sporadic. Sometimes I need to press a button 10 times before it will be seen by the BD player.
The Harmony One remote works fine through the extender with all my other devices.
Also - if I open the cabinet door and use the remotes directly, bypassing the extender, then both the Panasonic and the Harmony work fine.
My question is: do IR extenders have the same output level regardless of input level? Why would there be a problem only with the Harmony, only with one device, and only if I use it through the extender?
