Irda control a sound amp

IRDA doesn't work with AV equipment, it's made for short range data only.

: : I beleave, yes it has only a short range for data transfer-but for short burst as a remote the range is some what more 12/16ft.Then I may be wrong as with a palm,thats the thing I can find loads of software ect for a palm but only very old not working with XP for a notebook :(

Most of the palm software I've come across requires other hardware. If you Google around you should be able to find schematics for a serial based IR remote dongle.
