Hello:

I have a new 2024 model 65" frame tv. I have a Samsung sound bar and sub. We just got an AV cabinet to put all devices in - when the one connect box is in the cabinet you can't adjust the sound - you have to open the door so the remote can see the one connect box. 

What is the best way to solve this - the remote and the tv are paired and also work through bluetooth (i.e. I can use the remote on my iphone to control the tv).

Is there a particular IR receiver on a thin wire that I can run outside of the cabinet or is there a better way to make this work.

  • IR Extender: The easiest way to extend the IR signal into your cabinet without opening the door is an IR extender, which will allow you to control the One Connect Box and soundbar while the doors are closed.

  • Bluetooth control: If Bluetooth control is an option, you can control the soundbar directly from your TV remote or smartphone app.

  • SmartThings or app control: Use the Samsung SmartThings app to control both your TV and soundbar, keeping everything connected through Bluetooth.

  • Universal remote: Consider using a universal remote for easier control of all your devices.
