I paid $39, which includes one IR extender cord to bring IR, if necessary, from the base unit inside the cabinet directly to the receiving "eye" of a component. I found that my Panasonic DVD player worked fine without an extender (receiving IR signals from the reflections inside the cabinet), but that my H/K receiver needed to have the IR extender pointed right at its eye. You could possibly need more extenders depending on your setup. I was told that you can buy double extenders,which have two little remote transmitters for bringing IR direct to components. The extenders are inexpensive.
