RE: Plasma affecting IR pickup

["Timothy Morris" <timothy.morris@xxxxxxx>]

I've got the Panny plasma its a peach. Don't take my word for it, ask Phil (plasma hater, cat killer) Harris.

 

My IR743 is located around 3 feet away from the screen, and I have no problems.

Hi all,

 

I'm currently in the process of planning/installing a HA and I'll probably be posting lots of questions in the near future. 

At the moment I'm working out what I need for my AV installation.  I've seen a few threads regarding Plasma screens affecting and interfering with IR receivers.  I'm looking at using a Panasonic Plasma screen and a Buffalo IR receiver in the same room.  This receiver will be the most important receiver in the house since all the AV equipment will be at Node 0, so I don't want t find I've got lots of problems when I've finished plastering!  If I place the IR receiver on the same wall directly beneath the screen do you think I'll get any interference?

The plasma screen has its own IR receiver - but I suspect that it will either operate on a 'safe' modulated frequency or (hopefully) relies on the fact that the IR pickup is recessed so it can't see the screen.

 

 

Simon
