[QUOTE="badboykane, post: 30134, member: 46"] The Wii doesn't have a sensor bar, its just a bar with ir leds. It senses nothing, its the Wiimote which senses the bar to know where the tv is. The lead connection the sensor bar to the Wii is just a power lead and sends no info at all to the Wii. Try it, unplug your sensor bar from your Wii, stick 2 lit candles by your tv and play your Wii, it works just the same. This is why you can get wireless sensor bars, they are not wireless in the way of sending any info to the Wii, they are just wireless as they use batteries instead of the power lead. A way to see the IR leds is to use your digital camera or camera phone and look at the Wii sensor bar through the view finder with the Wii on, you will see in the view finder the leds light up white, now do the exact same with the end of your tv, vcr or dvd remote while pressing the buttons on it, you will see the ir led on the end of the remote light up white through the camera too. Its the same leds. [/QUOTE]
