Has anyone come up with a good way to program the remote to operate as selection arrows up and down on the menu screen of a DVD. I found my Tosiba 2108 code and the up, down, left and right buttons at the center of the remote perform as they are labeled, pause, REW, Stop and FF. I cannot use these keys to select anything on the menu screen. No other key really seems that locigal to learn a command for the function. I did read on the Home Theater Master website that some of the lower keys are supposed to be preprogrammed for menu selections but these keys are occupied by all of the DSP funtions for the Model 950.

Any help is appreciated,
Scott

I decided to put the transport controls on the lower buttons, then put the menu navigation controls on the arrow pad.

Gonk,
So did you setup your transport buttons on the DSP selections. I was going to punch those through so I could change DSP while in DVD source instead of having to switch to AUD.

I used the bottom right two for stop and pause, and the top middle to right three for play, rewind, and fast forward. Track forward and back are the channel up/down buttons. I hadn't thought about trying to punch through the DSP buttons.

Scott,

I'm pretty sure you can "teach" the 950 remote if you have the original remote from your DVD player. Just train the navigation keys to be navigation keys. But, you'll have to assign the transport controls to the lower keys. Once in a while, I'll mistake the arrow pad for navigation but after I stopped the DVD a few times, I learned to be more careful.
