External 3.5mm IR Receiver for RSP-1069

[JRachwalski]

What IR receiver will work with this processor?
No one in my area is a Rotel dealer any more.

Thanks,

Any brand receiver will work, but you can't plug it directly into the 1069. You will need a connecting block and power supply to go with it. Then you can plug one of the emitter outputs into the 1069 with a 3.5mm mono cable.

If you're putting the receiver next to an LCD or plasma, be sure to buy one designed for that.

I have used 3.5mm stereo plugs for IR and it worked fine for me.

Correct, stereo plugs will work but you're still only using two of the pins. I was trying to distinguish the stereo plug from an IR receiver that needs to use all three pins.

But yes, if you have stereo cables handy, they will work fine.
