IR input

[Nolan B]

Can someone confirm if the IR input on the back works with Harmony expenders?

I have a harmony 1000 with RF extender. I am assuming that instead of playing the eye over the IR sensor on the front I am able to get a cable with a male end to plug right into the IR input on the back of the processor.

Is this correct?

I don't use the Harmony extender, but I am doing as you describe with a Xantech IR repeater. The output of the repeater is fed to the IR input on the back of the SSP-800 with a mono mini-jack cable instead of placing an IR blaster over the IR eye on the front.

You can do directly into the SSP-800 without any problems. All of the other Delta Series stuff needs a piece called the Delta IR. It strips off the carrier signal so the IR inputs will work. They won't work without it.

good to know...do you have a picture of that by chance? Do you have to buy it?

What is it exactly?

[hifiguymi]

I don't have a picture of it. It's a small black box that's about 2/3s the size of a Classe remote. It has an IR in, an IR out, and a 12v in. It does not come with a power supply because it can be powered off the same one that would power up a Xantech IR system. In your case, since you have a Harmony RF base, you would need a basic 12v power supply. Your Classe dealer should be able to order it for you. It's $50.00US but I don't know how much it is in Canada. The model is DELTA IR.

If you have a Classe piece the Delta IR should be free, or at least my dealer gave it to me for free.

really?

My dealer quoted my $40.


Maybe he is wrong. Can anyone else confirm officially what it costs?

It should be free IMO.

[hifiguymi]

skz,

If you received it free, that was the dealers choice (nice dealer by the way). Classe does not supply them for free.

Nolan,

$40.00 does sound like the right price since you're in Canada. As I said, it's $50.00 in the US.

ok, sounds like something which should be paid for anyway.

[skuzzyb]

Yep, I do have a pretty good dealer. He also loaned me their demo SSP600 while mine was in service.

I just got the Delta IR, but wont be able to test it for a week or so because my harmony 1000 died and I have a friend sending me a harmony 1100 to replace it.

I have to say thou...this thing is an abomination.

Doesn't come with a instructions, no power supply and the cables used for input and output don't really make sense. I take it they are just mon cables and I can replace them with any mono cable?

I hope this thing works.

[Nolan B]

I have confirmed the Delta IR works with the Harmony RF extender. Of course you do have to purchase a power supply.
