Welcome to the outlaws. As a recent purchaser of a 1050 myself I can assure you that it is a wonderful product. I think you will enjoy it quite a bit.

If you havn't read the threads yet on the remote I recommend you do. It has some great programming ability that is not documented in the Manual. I use my outlaw remote to control my entire system now and only need my CD jukebox remote a little at times since it has a two way display that lists all my CD's.
