Even crutchfield carries those little pyramid infra-red relay devices. As bob said they're designed to control components from another room altogether, but if you got one of those it wouldn't matter what remote you got then (as long as its not an rf one.)
Need remote control advice
I'm getting ready to buy a learning remote to control all of my components and have a situation where my audio components are in a cabinet that is at an angle from the listening position. I have to lean forward to change the volume which is a real hassle. Are there remotes that have stronger signals or is there another solution? Thanks in advance.
