That would seem sensible, but there's nothing in the service or user manuals to indicate that any of the components have the ability to send the IR beam anywhere but up/down/left/right to the other components at short range. Any incidental "scatter" of the IR beams probably wouldn't be a lot of use to headphones because there are likely to be signals passing in two directions simultaneously (the amplifier clearly provides an output for the cassette deck to record) so much digital confusion would result...
