@newsfe08.phx:

My new Sony Bravia HDTV has the remote sensor on the *far* right side
of the TV. Fine, except the TV is recessed about 2" in a wood cabinet,
and the sensor can't "see" a signal from the remote in a chair about
40 degrees to the right removed from dead center.

I can make it work using a mirror, but that's not a very elegant
solution. Plus, one must still aim the remote perfectly.

Any ideas? [Other than that, I love the set.]

Aim your remote at the wall BEHIND YOU or the ceiling. Aim at a patch of
wall that the TV's remote sensor can 'see'.
Scattered IR from that patch should be enough to control the TV.

I often 'bounce' my control 'beam' off of the wall or ceiling because the
aim is much less critical.
