“Will this play blu rays if there is an obstructed view? My video equipment sits in a cabinet below the tv with the doors closed. All of my other equipment uses radio frequency (RF) remotes so there are no issues. This looks good but is it RF?”

Yes, you can, but you must purchase a remote extender. I have my Panasonic hidden in a cabinet above the television. The doors of the cabinet block the infra-red signal from the remote reaching the player. So I purchased a remote extender from Amazon for less than $20 dollars. The extender does need to plug into a power outlet, so you may need to add a third or fourth outlet if you are using a soundbar. The extender consists of a receiver that is placed somewhere near the televison, outside of the cabinet. And the transmitter which repeats the signal that the receiver receives, and re-transmits it from the transmitter that is placed inside the cabinet with the blu-ray player. Mine works flawlessly without a hitch. Whereas, without the extender, my player wouldn't receive the commands from the remote at all. Hope this helps.
