LilSnoop40 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Hi, I am getting a new house and I will be mounting the tv on the wall, behind the wall is a room where I will have all the components. I saw a friend have the same kind of setup but not sure what it was. I know on his tv he had a little black circle that I assume he pointed some remote at to turn everything on. What do I need to accomplish this please. Not looking to spend hundreds on this but I would like to know how to accomplish this and what I need please. Thanks Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1071315-remote-help/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerzdawg Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I believe you need a remote that is RF (radio frequency) instead of IR (no clue what that means but it relies on line of sight). The 900 def does have RF: Out of sight You can show off your style not your electronics?RF technology lets you control devices, even through cabinet doors.* I would imagine that you need something in the cabinet to convert your components from IR to RF as well. Check out other options (depending on your components) as I can control almost all of my devices via my phone or Ipad (uses my network to control my receiver which then uses rhid(?) to control my bluray player).

IR stands for Infrared and yes it requires line of sight. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1071315-remote-help/#findComment-594825761 Share on other sites More sharing options...
