1. Check that you have the right IR code. If you have a device expecting a 56 kHz carrier IR signal and you transmit at 38 kHz, it often will work (depending on the receiver) but with reduced range than if you were to transmit at 56 kHz. Most devices want 38 kHz signals, some at 56 kHz, so you might want to try both. | 1. Check that you have the right IR code.
