I want to buy a piece of furniture that will sit below a hung plasma and hold all the components (NAD receiver, dvd player, plasma box, cable box, etc.). The piece will have doors made of wood that i want closed all of the time. The furn will be vented out the back.
I want to be able to keep all the componets hidden and all the doors of the cabinet closed, even when the tv, etc. is in use.
I spoke to a guy at harvey electronics in nyc and he said that can happen if we install and IR repeater. He said it relays infrared signals into the components.
Anyone have an experience with one of these? Do they work great? I'm buying an expensive piece of furn and don't want it not to work. Which one(s) are best? Least intrusive/noticeable?
I am using the NuVo IR system. It was an easy install and works perfect! Not to expensive either. I used CAT5 cable for the IR receiver and you can hook up as many transmitters as you need. I currently am running 6 transmitters and have room for two more. The IR receiver is about 24.5 feet from the transmitter splitter, no problems with that distance for me. If you have questions or need more info email me.
