Well fellows I finally found the sensor window. Mike and Peter thanks for suggestions, they made me go 'DOH' but after trying my hand, a piece of cardboard and then a 3" thick book to cover the front of the player to cover the sensor window I then discovered that Sony must make one of the strongest remotes on the planet. No matter what I covered the front of the unit with the remote still worked at close range.
So...
I did my best orangutan impersonation and dangled the
Elan IRE2 Emitter in front of the unit while trying to stand with my arms outstretched as far as possible to aim the remote at the
Elan IRS1 Sensor mounted on the TV stand in the front of the room. I moved the equipment mounted IRE2 emitter around the display window and wallah, it is located where I originally thought along the top edge towards the right hand side of the display window.
Yes Tom I am installing an Elan IR system to my equipment so that we will be capable of aiming the remote at the TV and having the equipment in the back of the room be controlled. I actually have the system installed and the Sony disc players were the last items to get connected. It's a pretty slick system, thus far I really like it.
