I've been searching the net and can't find anything definite, but I am
having problems controlling my stereo (actually a Logitech speaker
system with an infrared remote) due to where I have the control box
located. I would like to remove the IR sensor led from the control box
and extend it using about 30' of cable. I am thinking (and read an old
post) that I could use shielded microphone wire, using the shield as
ground, and the twisted pair inside for the other two leads. Will this
work? The IR sensor is a pain to get at-I'll have to cut the leads and
do some CAREFUL soldering which I can do, but I don't think I can put
it back if it doesn't work.
I have the control unit in a cabinet and would like to have the sensor
mounted by my monitor. How much sensitivity will I lose using that
length of cable, and/or will it work at all?
FWIW, I've done this to an old cable TV box and it worked fine. The cable
length was 25 feet or so. YMMV.
