Is there any way to use my OFA Cinema 7+ with my 950 other than learning every key? I like the Cinema7+ and frankly I dislike the Outlaw remote (same as my previous Sherwood 9080). The menu keys and transport being the same is idiotic.

There is not a "code" for the 950 (not that anybody has ever found, and the 1050 was the same way), so the only way would be to teach it every key or getting into the JP1 programming, which I believe the Cinema7 supports (for more on that, check out HiFi Remote 's site).

I got used to the Outlaw 950 remote, so much so that I don't use any of my other remotes (unless it's for an esoteric command). This includes either of my Cinema7 or Cinema8 remotes. Once I mapped the most needed keys from the 5 other remotes' keys to the Outlaw remote, I was cooking with gas.

Quite a few keys on the 950 remote light up with words that do not represent their function, making it sometimes hard to use the 950 remote in a darkened room.

Yeah, but that's going to be true of any hard-button universal remote in at least some modes of use...

Yes, you can use UEIC/RS remotes with your 950. I created an upgrade code for it using the jp1 interface without too much difficulty. Let me know if you are interested and I can send it to you.

Well, I initially set up my 950 remote last night and it works OK maybe. The problem is how do you have menu and transport controls both available?? This is particularly tricky for my DVD players.

And I can't get macros to work. I program it, it doesn't play back. Confusing.

Ellen I may take you up onthe JP1 stuff. I'm hoping to get a OneForAll 8910 (I think that's the model number) for Christmas, if I do I may want to set it up with JP1. I also have two other JP1 LCD remotes (a Producer8 and one old Radio Shack one) that I could use.

For my DVD player control, I mapped the menu navigational button onto the main (Rev/Play/FF/Stop/Pause) buttons, and then for the player's transport buttons, I simply mapped them to the set of the little round buttons on the bottom rows above the macro buttons. It take a bit of memory on the user's part to remember the new button assignments, but once you commit them to memory, you won't have any problems using the 950's remote with my DVD players (2 of them).

That ain't gonna work in my house. I want the system to be easy for my wife and any guests I have over to use. This remote is very close to being quite nice, but falls short without this function. I have two DVD players too, and my VCR has menu functions also. Even on a $25 full retail Oneforall Cinema7+ I can do this.

I resisted learning every key on the 950 remote, but once I did it, it was a non-issue. I guess you'll just have to do the same with the Cinema7, learn each button the hard way.

I would have used my Producer8 with the Outlaw, but you can't map the buttons like you can on the Cinema7, so I just embraced the 950 remote and went to town. The Producer8 was my primary remote, and now it's just collecting dust.

The WAF/FAF means you'll most likely have to go the Pronto route one of these days if you don't want to confuse them.
