I have a JVC Stereo and speakers in one room and different set of speaker in another room receiving the same audio. I would like to be able to control the volume etc., in both rooms w/ out having to walk into the room w/ the JVC Stereo. Is there a wired or wireless IR extender or IR receiver/transmitter available? (basic, nothing too fancy)? Thanks.

Check out Xantech. Sounds like you are not a "Custom Retailer".

You'd be looking at a 291-10, 781C, and 282 (or 286m to control 2 devices in the main room...like receiver and CD)

There are wired solutions like the Xantech.
There are also RF solutions (like the Radioshack pyramids)
There are also remotes with that functiomnality built in.(RF to a base that converts to IR)
wired should work better (other RF sources and material in walls can interfere with the RF transmission), but is messier and more expensive.

In the RF idea there is a little gadget at [Link: smarthome.com] that can be glued on your remote, so the IR receiver is sure to get the IR code from the remote. It also means that you can walk from one room to the other with the remote
