Q: Does the remote control work through walls/floors?

A: No. It is an IR remote which is the typical point and press like most remotes. You are describing an RF remote if you need to go through walls and floors. You can get programmable RF remote to control the system through walls and floors or get a wireless IR repeater if you want to use the included Yamaha remote the MusicCast came with.
