Just wondering where the IR receiver is mounted... Is that it above the LED?

Thanks,
Mark

Yeah, there appears to be more than one IR receiver there. I looked at 'em when I was replacing the faceplate on my unit.

Follow up questions for the Empeg folks:

- Are there really multiple IR receivers there? If not, what are those other things I see there?
- What is the small strip of semi-transparent plastic on the innner surface of the faceplate? Is that some sort of filter for the IR receivers? Why would they need a filter?

There are two IR receivers, one for IRda and one for domestic IR.

The black plastic item is an IR filter that prevents bright sunlight from washing out the signal.
