Dual zone wiring with infrared: Help!

I'm in the process of setting up a dual zone HT system with the following specs:

* A media room will have the HT system and the head-end for all wiring.
* A rec. room will have wiring for four speakers and a subwoofer.
* There is no direct line of sight from the rec. room to the media room.

Questions:

1. How do I run wiring so that I can control the Rec. room via infrared (or keypad) so that I can access any component from the media room while in the Rec. room?

2. I'm assuming that I should have two head-ends in the media room (one for the media room system and another for the rec. room speakers) Is this correct?

Thanks anyone!

You need a wall plate, or similar device, with an IR repeater installed. There is then a transceiver placed at the main equipment location. Any decent audio shop should be able to provide the pieces you need.

Here's one source, but there are plenty to choose from. A simple table top system can run about $50 from one of the big box stores.
