They make IR redirectors by the way. :)

Basically it lets you put a tiny "receiver" somewhere outside, and then you tape the "emitter" over the hole in the amp, and then it'll "redirect" the IR signal to the emitter. 

 

They work well. 

OK so I desperately need some help. 

 

I have an amp hooked up to my tv but it's in a closet stacked with the turntable etc. 

 

Now I use  a mirror to reflect te signal but the door has to be open ofc. 

So I made a small hole letting me keep the closet closed. 

 

Now the issue is the hole is slighty to high but I couldnt go any lower due to the doors hingen. 

 

I added reflective tape so it works if I point at the hole, no matter distance or angel. 

How ever if I use the mirror from the couch it doesnt work. 

 

Any help welcome. 

 

Sorry for the shoddy pics.

Yep, I used to do home AV installation so we used them all the time. (Rich people like to have their DVD player/satellite box hidden.)  I just did a REALLY quick google search, so make sure you search around some more for possibly better deals. Some audio receivers even have a plug in the back to connect one of the "IR receivers" without the need for the box thing.
