Do I use the IR-5000 or IR-2400 to control my A/V products

The IR-5000 is used if the A/V products are in the same room or Close proximity to the TV location. The IR Receiver attached to the IR-5000 is one meter in length.The receiver head is typically placed on the TV though you can get creative. There are four emitter heads IR-3002 for 4 devices to be placed on the IR sensor of each device. This is a very simple installation. The IR-2400 is a freestanding IR receiver that is the same IR receiver on the IR-5000 though as a separate part is used with the IR-1203 or P-1205 both are expandable The IR-1203 is less expensive and single Zone, the P-1205 is a bit more in cost and has a 2nd zone typically used for whole house Applications. The IR-2400 is used for longer distanced between the A/V products and the TV location. This application requires 3 wires, (+, Ground, Signal) you can use most any wire such as cat5 or even speaker wire if existing. With the IR-1203/P-1205-IR-2400 you can have multiple IR-2400 receivers if required.
