I have a sapphire Mayfair 106" matt white screen and it is being put into a hidden pelmet type scenario where it drops through a slot. Becasue its hidden, the screens IR eye is hidden. Luckily, it comes with an extension cable that you plug into the bottom of the projector and another eye is on the end. This extender unfortunately is too short so I need to extend it.
On one end of the lead is an RJ11 connector with all 4 wires connected; this goes into a socket on the projector. On the other is another RJ11 connector with the same 4 wires in the same sequence; this goes into the eye.
I thought I could just buy a 4 wired telephone extension cable (RJ11 -> RJ11 socket) but when I try this, it doesn't work. take that extension cable off again and the original extender works again.
Without getting into RF extenders etc, is there anything else easy I can try first????
Help - Plaster is coming tomorrow and I won't be able to get at it !!!!
