Quick question folks - I'm looking at replacing my damaged 885 (cracked LCD!) with an 895 since I've been very happy with my 885 and the 895 adds the IR sender functionality we're going to need when our new closed-door cabinets arrive later this week. I've read through a good number of 895 threads but can't seem to find a definitive answer to this one...
I understand you can control some kit in one cabinet with the IR blaster itself assuming it can bounce the signal with enough success to hit the IR receiver on the device. I also understand that when that doesn't work you can use one of the 4 extenders/8 emitters included with the 895 to send the signal to another part of the cabinet or another cabinet etc.
However, do I actually have to stick the emitters onto each device's IR receiver or could I tape it to the inside of the cabinet door directly opposite the device's IR receiver using some double sided tape? I'm maybe just being fussy but I'd rather not tape anything to the front of my kit!
Thanks in advance,
Colin
