I received my MX-200 and while being stupid I attempted to pull these through a whole that was a bit small and 4 of the 6 had their emitter heads fall off (oh, and yes I was trying to save time and pulled them all at once).

It would not be a problem but the plugs on these are ultra small (1/2 the diameter of standard IR emitter plugs) and I do not have replacements. Where could I find replacements for these?

Kevin,

Not to worry! Pick up adapters at Radio Shack (Item 274-373, $3.99) or Parts Express (Item 090-324, $1.90) and you can use any standard IR-Blaster with the MRF-200.

Eric from HTM is trying to help me sort through a strange issue of my Sonance ir flashers not working with the adapters. I sent him one for analysis. So that was weird as I too thought I would be fine using them with the adapters, but no luck.

So let us know what you find out.

Did the whole head come off or did they just come apart (which they can easily do)? If they just came apart, they can be snapped back together.

If not, in addition to the adapter David mentioned above, try the Channel Plus IR emitters (Part Nos. 180-707 or 774) from Parts Express.

I think you should call Home Theater Master customer service and get the correct emitters from them. I am sure they will be sympathetic to your plight!
Best Regards,

Thanx for the replies. I have contacted HTM and Mike is seeing if he can figure out a way to get me another set of these. I understand I could get adapters at radio shack but wanted to see if I could for once not rig something...we will see...and before I get adapters I plan on attempting to another emitter head onto their cable

They did not come apart, the heads just were pulled off with clean wires ends remaining (wires pulled through the hole...heads dropped into the wall gone forever).
