Mmm, I'd say it'd have to be tried. I don't have the specs in front of me, but I think the IR receiver is a 38kHz one which will pass quite a wide band (at least +- a few kHz).

We've not come across any remotes which the empeg didn't pick anything up for - then again, we didn't go to the trouble of writing a recogniser for them either, Mike just looked at the debug output.

If the Pioneer remote sends RC5 format codes, it should be a pretty easy job to hack ther kernel for it (and map them into equivalent kenwood codes).
