Ah, I sit corrected!

Sometimes it's sufficient to just aim an IR blaster toward the wall 
opposite your home entertainment center. The signal bounces off the 
wall to get to the equipment.

I'm guessing this is what they intended you to do, not put the 
emitter directly in front of the device (as is probably more 
desirable in this case, so you don't have to worry about people or 
furniture getting in the way.)
