New member Username: HonkPost Number: 8 Registered: Nov-04 | My Pioneer 54TX is in a closed cabinet and I would like to utilize my remote control without opening the door. The manual recommends using an IR receiver (pin plug input on rear panel). I've checked Niles and Xantech; and can't seem to come up with anything that I'm comfortable with. Has anyone come across any decent units, at a reasonable price? |

If the plug on the back of your receiver is a mini try the CR-1. These receivers vary in price from around $80. to $125.00 for the package. There are other factors though. Most need a power supply unless your receiver is compatable with the requirments of the IR receiver for power. At this site you can click on the item and download the instructions to get details regarding this. http://www.sonance.com/subs/products.php?category_id=49&option=get_category&thre ad_one_cat_id=30&thread_one_cat_name=Accessories&thread_two_cat_id=41&thread_two _cat_name=OptiLinQ%20IR |
