I know this is recommended, but basically my system is right out in the open, and I don't want to have emitters attached to the ir inputs on the front for aesthetic reasons. How bad is the ir blaster on the front of the mrf-350? I just want to have a "no pointing" solution without having to wire up a bunch of additional emitters. My seating position is right in front of the stack, 10ft away.
I suggest you move when you want to use the remote. Purchasing the MRF-350 only to place it it on a table and use the blaster is a waste in my opinion. To make your system reliable, you would HAVE to use the emitters. There is no point otherwise.
