Thanks so much for that concise reply to my question. You certainly did clear up at least one of my confusions. I could not understand why my RC5400 was in fact controlling the XBox360 even though I did not have an IR extender cable connected to it. What I have discovered is that the RC5400 must be sending an IR signal out to the Xbox360 but it will only work if the RC5400 is facing(more or less) a maximum of about 120 degrees away from the Xbox360. Since my LCD is 180 degrees from the Xbox360, I feel for convenience sake that the RX-77 that I ordered will come in handy.
I was not aware that the RC5400 sends out both RF and IR signals. Would it be possible for you to tell me where I find the information about which signal(RF or IR) is being sent? Would it be in the .pcf files that I view through Wizz.it? Can I set the .pcf files up in such a way that some components receive IR and some RF?
