The ir input jack is a stereo mini. We have had no issues with control using ir and RTI.
I know this doesn’t help the OP but I too have had zero issues with the IR In jack. I do, however, CONNECT BOTH THE TIP AND RING to signal.
As far as not completely not coming on after being off for awhile, I haven’t seen that yet but only time will tell.
