So noise reflection is an issue. I did not realize that. Now I'm really sweating bullets after reading the last few replies. One thing is for sure, I'll be armed with more potential solutions thanks to the experiences everyone is willing to share. Whata site.
The recommendation of speaker craft is the first I've heard. Seems to me that the idea of placing multiple receivers would be effective. How about on different surfaces as well, (i.e. ceiling, front wall in left and right speakers), possibly increasing your chances of receiving a good code. Any potential problems with that concept.?
Are their (Speaker Craft) receivers compatible with say, Audio Plex, or Xantech. I've never mismatched so I don't know if this can even be done. For the past year I've only used Xantech or Russound with their Ca-series keypads. Now that I reflect I did use a Buffalo Electronics (complimentary from old parts) inwall receiver with the russound ca series and it works, so maybe the speaker craft will work with other brands. Who Knows?? Anyone?
Many Thanks- you just don't know!!

re mixing -- I would only guess that you CAN'T use these things with a Niles system. The Niles sensor outputs are not a "bus" signal. They need to be processed through the input of a Niles box...in other words, you can't put them in parallel. Also, Niles says you can't use more than one sensor in a room, also making them different from other brands I have run into.
A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.

AudioPlex Technology has many styles of "guaranteed Plasma Proof" sensors. www.audioplex.com. We generally use RTI remotes w/RF or an AMX Netlinx solution. But Audioplex or Speakerkraft should have a solution for you.

Multiple receivers would only amplify the problem as they will "sum" the noise and likely also cause phase shifted signal cancellations.

Sounds like Audio Plex is my best bet. Thanks for all the feedback.

< When the
Samsung's and Goldstar's come out with a viable
consumer grade plasma then the bigger guys are
going to run for the tall grass pricewise.

The Samsung 42" is out and is only 40.00 cheaper dealer price than the Panasonic, but same retail. Go figure.


I used the Audioplex plasma proof line and all is well. The target is located approx. 4" below the Plasma and works like a champ. The only thing I don/t like is the build quality looks cheap. But, they claim a lifetime warranty so if they'll stand behind it that long, I rest in peace.
Thanks for all the insight!!

i've used the AudioPlex plasma-proof with much success on Sony, Runco, and Fujitsu plasmas. Several problems I've had were:
-IR system not passing some high frequency ir codes (scientific atlanta digital cable box)
-Had one install where it would not pass RCA DTC-100 codes for some reason. On that install I was able to put a niles ms-2 on the back of the plasma and use the AP stealth and everyone was happy.

AudioPlex makes a "Niles compatible" version also.

Well looks like I jumped the gun with my response. I'm having the same type of problem with the echostar and after a phone call to AudioPlex it was confirmed. Their tech support was prompt and helpful. I also learned that yes there are problems with digital cable period. He didn't mention a specific brand. The solution with Plasma Proof, accordong to Audio Plex is to us a target that is designed specifically for these high freq. i.r. They are not able to build a plasma proof i.r. that'll do both.
I'm just glad they are aware of this and have a solution.

SpeakerCraft is compatible with Xantech and vice versa. Everyone who has been using it says it's awsome. It's a new product that has only been out a few months. If you need any info on it please drop me a line....
