Icing on the cake product! Jan 05, 2010
By Mr. R. L. Hart
"electronman"
This device can put the icing on the cake for anyone that has a universal remote or uses IR to control their home cinema system. I takes in your IR signal (codes for pronto are available to download) and converts it into the Bluetooth signal that the PS3 understands. Just point the IR at this device and it re-sends it to the PS3 by Bluetooth. It's responsive and you just forget you have it after a while.
So you have, say a single universal remote control for all your AV equipment, but then you get a PS3 (not a bad idea considering how great a product it is). Then you realise you need a Bluetooth remote to control you Blu-ray/DVD playing. So now you have two remotes! Not if you get this PS3IR-1000.
There is a forum for understanding how to use this device and also a web site from the manufacturer to allow you to understand how to make it work; I found it quite easy to get working including adding pages to my Pronto with the downloaded codes. Note this device can also teach a universal remote the codes required, I did not need to do this but it looks easy.
This device requires a USB socket with power on it, I use a small USB ipod charger but any USB socket which is powered will do, I don't recommend using the PS3 USB as these are not powered when the PS3 is in standby and therefore this device would not see the `on' command.
Great product sorts out a problem that Sony has created by not having IR receiver in the PS3.

If you have a Crestron or AMX system, this is a MUST!!!!! Dec 30, 2011
By Nick P
The PS3 has always eluded the pro AV world, mostly due to its inability to accept IR or IP control, until now. The PS3IR-1000 accomplishes what Sony should have done out of the box, provide a stable means of controlling Sony's console with a professional control system like Crestron or AMX.
Setup is a piece of cake, and the supplies pronto hex codes plug into Toolbox seamlessly. Wiring is simple, and a wired IR input is even provided.
Thing is rock solid, the discrete power functions work like you would expect them to, and the whole experience is more like one I am used to with RS232 then an IR experience
Note to those who are having problems using this controller in game:
The IR receiver shows up to the PS3 as the Sony BD remote, which means by default it is assigned as controller 7. Although the power off function and the ps button will still work in a game, the rest of the controls won't unless you assign the remote to be controller 1. To do this, press and hold the PS button, select "controller settings" and then "reassign controller", after this is done the PS3 IR adaptor will now work as the primary controller. (If this is something you do a lot, you might want to consider making this a macro either in your control system program or by using one of the available macros on the adaptor.)
Overall you should buy the PS3IR-1000, it is much simpler and much more stable than other devices such as the Logitech Harmony adaptor...

Works as Advertised! Aug 25, 2010
By P. McCarthy
Not much to say, it converts IR to bluetooth flawlessly. Plug the power USB cable into something other than the PS3 (like a cable box) or you won't be able to turn the PS3 on with the remote. The online instructions are easy to follow. I had to manually learn the commands for my URC remote control, but that was expected.

Great addition to a universal remote to control your PS3 May 02, 2010
By W. Baril
"B-squared"
This works great to control my PS3. I use it with the Re Universal Remote. Re iPhone Universal Remote Control - Infrared Remote Control Accessory for iPhone and iPod touch I also used the smaller version of this product and it works fine but doesn't control power on for the PS3. Still a good choice for the price. PS3IR-X1 Infra-red Adapter for PlayStation 3 (USA Version)
Use with Pronto Remote Mar 27, 2013
By Scotty
I use this adaptor with a high end Pronto Programmable remote and it has worked flawlessly for several years. Easily concealed.
