of your pc from a distance. For example you can control your home cinema
settings (volume, play, pause, stop etc), your winamp etc.
It uses for receiver TSOP 1738 (38 KHz) but it worked well with
TSOP 1736 (36 KHz) and a remote Sony which works at 40Mhz.
The two transistors light up the led when a signal is received.
