Disabling Kinect IR signals while using IR out port

Does the xbox IR port repeat any remote I point at the kinect? My xbox one is at front of room (as there is no 40ft kinect extension cable). The rest of my equipment is in a closet, it includes items not controllable via xbox. Can I plug an IR extender
cable into the IR output port and use tho kinect to receive IR signals and send them to the closet?

You can't change channels without the kinect or an IR cable. The kinect is what sends the IR signal to the box.

The only way I know to use the IR blasting tech is through the console with the Kinect. The smartglass app connects directly to the console and the kinect is needed to broadcast the IR signal.

The official news post about the remote *only* says that Kinect is used for IR blasting your TV and your AV receiver. It doesn't say that Kinect is used to receive the remote's signals for controlling the console itself.

Given that, and given that the console does have its own IR receiver, I'd assume that control of the console itself is direct using the remote. Kinect is just needed for TV/AV control, as the remote does not send signals to those directly.

Remote > IR > Console = console control.

Remote > IR > Console---Kinect > IR > TV & AV = TV & AV control

Does anyone know if the K2 is the IR receiver for the Xbox On as well as it's IR blaster?

The current position of my 360 is in a place where my remote can't see it.. if it could receive IR signals through the Kinect that would be very useful for me.
