Do you have to point at the receiver for it to work?

No. I stroll around my classroom holding it every which way and just click.

It depends on how far away you are. I found the further away, yes. It was about ten feet that you do have to point towards the receiver.

not directly but you can't plug the receiver into the back of the pc than it will not read

My laptop is almost always close to me, I mean three to eight feet, but I never pointed at the receiver because I point the laser at the presentation on the wall (wall, board, etc.)

The receiver needs to be switched to the appropriate input source. The manual CD covers this in detail.

In my case and others that I've talked to, unless your receiver has a DIRECT and CLEAR line of sight to the mail box, it won't work. It means you've got to mount the receiver in a window that has the line of sight needed. From your description, it seems that you've got another unit in front of yours blocking the mailbox line of sight from your unit, so in that case it won't work.

The answer is no. It uses radio frequency so you don't have to point it as if you operate TV's.

If you are using the remote press the receiver button before changing the input source and see it that helps. It works for me.

yes - found it marked on the back of the receiver and in the manual. Haven't used it though - been using an optical link

No, Do check everything others have mentioned. Also make sure your receiver is correctly configured. Run a sound test to help pinpoint your issue.

I tried programing to my receiver and could not make it work. I am considering purchasing a new receiver and controller.

You need a TV connected so that your receiver can have a signal. Should be fine when you get your TV connected. I have seen that message before.

Maybe. As long as the receiver can receive the inferred signals from the remote. So it'd need to be in a line of sight.

Thanks for your question. I believe that this unit needs to be on. It is a wonderful sounding receiver.

At long range, cannot get both to work. If I bring the button closer, they will both work. Also if too close together, they seem to conflict. My distance is 70 ft. Had to just use one receiver.

This was purchased as a gift for my infant grandson. I asked his mother your question. Here is her response: "Yes you just have to point it at the top of the dvd player/headrest. And it works perfectly".

Hello ! Sorry but I can't tell you if it would work without a receiver,the receiver is a decoder and I don't it would work without.....

Mine works fine, I just have to make sure that I point it at the right angle. Double check bateries in remote and clean receiver on remote, if your still finding difficulties contact the seller.

Always star the transmitter first then the receiver (unit you read). Even changing and installing batteries do it this way

I do not believe so because you have to point it toward the unit(s) you are trying to control. With RF you do not need to point at the units.
