Onkyo remote sensor

Hey, I noticed there is a remote input in the back of my Onkyo receiver. Does this mean I can add a remote control sensor to the receiver that will allow the receiver to be hidden behind a cabinet and the sensor can be placed somewhere allowing to still function. If this is the case, where can I purchase such a sensor and what is it called?
Thanks mate.

Yes the IR input found on the rear of the receiver would be sufficient for that purpose. There is a kit that Xantech has and you can order these pieces to control the unit outside of a cabinet.
