controlling h/k avr254 and pace rng110(comcast box) from another room
I've been doing some digging on how I could control my av receiver and comcast box if I put it in a cabinet. I'm a complete n00b at IR stuff and I see some IR ports on the back the equipment and am not sure if I could use those or what the best way would be.....any ideas....has anyone used the IR ports that are on the back like this

Yes, they work very well with all remotes, all signals etc....I have a Logitech Harmony Remote
http://www.logitech.com/remotes/?WT.mc_id=usym_/harmony_global&strf=Universal_Symlink
It is programmed to run my entire theater.
I bounce that remote to control about 6 devices which sit at the back of my theater. I can use any of the stand alone remotes just fine as well, think of the exender as a mirror, it really doesn't care what signal it sees it just bounces it back via RF to the receiving side which converts it back to IR to run your gear.
