Hi.

Recently bought a new TV unit and now my Vu+ Solo2 is inside the unit and I have to open the unit door so the remote can be used.

Can anyone recommend an IR extender / repeater that's compatible with the Vu+ Solo2 which will enable me to operate with the remote when the door is closed?

I bought this recently so that I could shut the unit door and works really well ...... Marmitek Invisible Control 6 XTRA Infrared Extension - Operate Devices in a Closed Cabinet - Compatible with All European TV Decoders - Extra Small Receiver - Blaster LED

Just use normal remote and it works really well - don‘t waste money on a Harmony remote replacement

Thanks for the reply. Does this connect to a port on the Vu, or is it the case that one end is placed near the IR input?

Normal room temp?

Not if the cabinet isn't well ventilated, overheating could be a real problem.
