The cheap low tech is to disassemble the remote(not an easy task with todays snap-together models)and put a tube shaped piece of electrical tape or heat shrink tubing around the led emmitter. This will narrow the IR beam. How narrow depends on how long you are able to make the tube(the front cabinet IR filter can get in the way). You can get it pretty pinpoint to where pieces of equipment 18" apart will work independently.
The hi tech method is to use a remote repeater system, cover all the equipments remote receiver's and use a Xantech RT-8 addressable IR Router.
