Hi All,

I`m new Here! :-)

I`m having a few problems with my IR extender in my home cinema system.
I`m Controlling the following devices from my sitting room which are located in another room, approx 5/6 meters away:
Samsung BD-P1600,
Samsung HT-Z320,
Thompson digital TV box,
Sony RDR-HX750.(only there to be used as a means of connecting Digibox by HDMI, thats all....)

My TV is a Samsung UE40B6000VW.

I don`t recall the Make/Model of my IR extender, but it cost €50 and appears to be decent quality.

Firstly,When Controlling my Digital box there is often a delay of about 0.5 second after pressing a button on the remote, also the Menu and Guide buttons require a quick double press to work.

Secondly, When i try to increase the volume of my HT-Z320 surround amp, it just shoots up to max, unless i`m very careful to give it an extremely short button press.

thirdly When The HT-Z320 is powered on , i can barely control the Thompson box as control inputs either don`t get through or are very delayed.

My Bluray and DVD recorder are connect to TV using 20m HDMI cables so i guess i can control the BD using Anynet+ ...

Any suggestions how to improve the system? My house has a Cambridge Audio 4-zone incognito system, and during construction, along side installing the 25m HDMI cables, I had some Cat5 and Coax Cables run from the TV back to the AV press/cupboard thing.(i dont know what to call it :-) )

Thanks,
John.
