Hi there
I have been searching the forums and google of a simple solution for my IR extender issue.
Let me first go over my current setup.
I have a Denon AVR-3808 (okay I am planning to get one soon) installed in a closet with all my other AV and computer gear. This removes all the cables from my living room which I like.
The problem is that all standard remote controls are IR thus making it impossible to use them when the receiver is in the closet.
I have seen several IR kits out there which is based on wired or wireless setup but mostly always with some "stick on IR broadcaster" which is supposed to be sticked on top of the IR eye on the AV equipment. I think this solution is very poor. On the AVR-3808 there is a jack IR extender connector which I was hoping to utilize instead.
In my mind a wire with a IR eye in one end and a jack stick in the other end would solve my problem. But I am not sure of this can be done this simple.
I am looking of either a Do-It-Yourself kit or a plug and play kit to extend the IR eye into my living room. Actually I would like to split the IR eye into two or more eyes making it possible for me to control my AVR-3808 from several rooms.
This simple drawing below should illustrate what I am trying to do.
