Just checked the Model 950 gallery , and there is a picture (quick shot, not one of the pro pictures) of the 950's remote. For everybody on the reservation list, take a second and go introduce yourself to the remote you'll be getting one day soon.

After-lunch followup: the February newsletter has also appeared on the site now, if you want to read it in full HTML glory.

Thanks for the heads-up. I believe I can get by without the LCD. This is more remote than I anticipated would be supplied at this price point.

Nice,Very Nice,I could be wrong but it looks like they backlit the logo at the top.I will check with Scott.The remote my H/K came with had the hole for the display covered up,so it would not of been very hard to use the hole to back light the logo.I hope they did

I wondered about that myself, Brian. Wouldn't that look slick?

No, slick would be if the cowboy actually rode around on the top of the remote when you pushed a button. And lit up.

I'm not sure if an animated cowboy on top of the remote would qualify as "slick" or "frightening" I bet it would entertain the cats to no end, either way...

I have the SL-9000 now from another processor and the area where they have the logo is a small LCD screen that shows the current source and tells if you are in punch-through mode or not.

I really love this remote. I prefer it to the LCD's that I have had as I can feel the buttons in the dark that I need without looking at the screen. In a completely dark room, even the light from a LCD screen can be quite bright and distracting. But that's just nit-picky.

I, too, prefer remotes with actual buttons as opposed to LCD displays. The LCDs are more flexible, for sure, but it just doesn't feel like a remote anymore. I don't like the idea of controlling my HT with my PDA, which is basically what some of the more advanced RCs have turned into. Not that it's a bad thing; it's just not my preference.

The only thing that they left out is that infamous green button,but hey you cant have everything.(ha-ha)From what I have read of those links on the Beta testers you posted I think I can live with just the preamps green button and SOUND THAT JUST ROCKS as the MC12 guy put it.I wish reservation had went in a little bit sooner now.Oh well ,better later than never.

Just heard from Scott,the Logo is not backlit.
