What is tented glass Larry?
OK. Just stay away from lots of sunlight or any florescent light. Put a piece of paper between you to filter out bad light... Wha!? I know I know.
BTW.. I can pass IR through a salami on rye with a good strong remote... Flip your camcorder to B/W and watch some home movies in the dark to see how strong your remote is... put you Camcorder in the cabinet and watch yourself channel surfing. Hey!? It's late.. I do need to go. Can you tell?
