This thread is to let you know that I have been successful in implementing the extenders on the TSU9400. Devices include Plasma Screen, Receiver, PVR, DVD Recorder, VCR, Subwoofer, Foxtel IQ, MCE (ie HDTV).

I ran the RFX9400 in standalone mode without any problems, worked first go with the previous devices setup using IR.

I then implemented both extenders in a network environment through my home router, a Dlink DI624S, using WEP encryption. Again only issue was to change encryption authentication from Shared Key to Open System (took a while to find this out).

As Foxtel IQ and the PVR do not have discrete power on or power off codes I impemented ELAN sensors and they worked a treat (not cheap thought, in fact down right expensive) through the RFX9600.

For the Foxtel IQ device I used a ELAN LT (light) Sensor (I put a optical splitter between Foxtel and the receiver toslink cable and connected the receiver to one output and the LT Sensor to the other, it comes with a simplistic toslink adapter). The LT Sensor is then connected to a ELAN SIM2 controller which is then connected to the power sensor on the RFX9600.

For the PVR device I used a ELAN VID (Video) Sensor (I put the VID Sensor into the composite output on the PVR even though I use HDMI to connect to the plasma screen). The VID Sensor is then connected to a ELAN SIM2 controller which is then connected to the power sensor on the RFX9600. (ps. I used a VID sensor instead of a LT Sensor as for some reason on my PVR the optical output always emits a signal even when the PVR is in standby/sleep mode). You should check that your PVR puts out a composite signal even when the PVR is connected via HDMI or component outputs, also check it does not put out any input when in standby/sleep mode.

The ELAN SIM2 controller can support 2 power sensors so you only need one for two connections as I have. It uses a 12 volt input and outputs a 12volt signal, so continuous 0 volts for off and continuous 12 volts for on. p.s. Can also be used to control relays in that you can configure it to output a 12 volt pulse (instead of continuously - but have not tried this). Finally can also reverse the polarity.

The above setup worked perfectly (so far).

In case someone asks ELAN also have contact, audio, voltage and current sensors. In Oz the senors cost about $150 each, the SIM2 $200 (comes with a voltage supply 110-240 volts input 12 volts output you can use and with some plyers twist the prongs at an angle so they fit Oz power supply sockets - as they come straight for US power supply sockets).

All work very well. I can tell you though the back of the cabinette looks like a spiders nest with all the cables.
