We are just having a cabinet build for our AV equipment and are planning on putting glass doors on the unit. Can anyone tell me if there would be a problem with our remote control(s) if we use frosted or etched glass on the cabinet holding the equipment...or does the glass have to be completely clear?
I appreciate any advice you can offer!

I would guess that frosted glass would reduce the remote's range and possible off-angle usage, since it would be diffusing the light. How much? I don't know. It should still work, however.

Lur,
You could always add an IR extender kit forom Zantech, Russound, Speakercraft, and many others for about $110.
The small IR receiver (about the size of a pack of gum) is usually placed by the tv or somewhere out in the open.
It transfers the IR signal to the components in the cabinet.
If you're heart is set on frosted or solid wood doors, it is a great option.
