Transmit unit is placed in TV room, receive unit is placed with equipment >> PRO: Cheap and easy. Works with most IR remotes >> CON: Bulky devices aren't easy to conceal. May not be functional in tight spaces (closet) ex: Intermediate: install a IR repeater system. IR target is installed in TV room, and hardwired back to repeater system in AV closet. Use CAT5e wire or similar gauge to extend distance between target and repeater system >> PRO: Accurate, without any RF range issues. Works with most IR remotes. >> CON: yet another cable to run from the TV room to the closet ex: Advanced: Consolidate solutions for system control and remote location with a universal remote with RF capability. >> PRO: Simplify your system with 1 remote control. Wireless repeater installed in AV closet. >> Con: Cost. Could be difficult to program, for the non-enthusiast or impatient. ex: or I suggest the Logitech Harmony remotes: Web-based programming.

Niles makes a wide range of products that will suit your needs. I would recommend that you call your local dealer that carry Niles and ask them what you'll need.
