Hey everyone, I’m new to this sub. After doing some research, I went ahead and pulled the trigger on the Formuler Z8. So far, the experience has been great. The only complaint I have is the remote.
For reference, I have a cupboard under my TV, and that’s where I put the Formuler Z8 (alongside my Apple TV and other devices). I run the HDMI cables through a hole and into the back of the TV.
The issue is that since the Z8 is in the cupboard, the remote control signal doesn’t seem to work. I have to open the cupboard and point the remote at the Z8 in order to be able to use it. Whereas with my Apple TV, I can use the remote even with the cupboard closed. The Z8 came with a IR extended but it doesn’t work at all.
Any idea how I can fix this?
Edit: the IR extender wasn’t working for some reason. I was still within the return date eligibility, so I’ve returned it and bought the GTV instead. Thanks for all the help.
Apple TV remote uses Bluetooth. IR signals can't penetrate that well compared to bluetooth, even with an extender.
