The "DVD" button will be nice, and it looks like they may have recommended associating certain things with specific video inputs (like "CBL" and "V3" or "TV" and "V2") -- I could be wrong on that one though (yet one more reason to want a look at the manual). I do wonder how the DVD transport and menu navigation controls will work -- the one weakness that I've heard about on the 9000 remote is that the transport controls (play, stop, FF, etc.) are the same buttons as the menu buttons . In general, I don't think you need to use both at once, so in reality I don't think it'll be a problem (unless you want to get out of some disc menu by just pressing "play").
