My sister in law has struggled a time or two, but she also has never been given any instructions and has only used it a few times so that should come as no surprise. My wife generally uses the system for TV watching and a little DVD watching. I created two macros for her -- a "power on" macro that turns on the cable box, 950, and TV, and a "power off" macro that shuts them all off. For DVD playback, I did end up mapping the transport controls to the round buttons at the bottom of the remote and marked on the buttons with a sharpie to identify pause, stop, play, FF, and rewind (for my sake as well as hers). While she would certainly need my help to get the second zone turned on (a wireless speaker that we have for music while working in the yard) and she doesn't know what I've got set up in the way of macros for DVD-Audio playback, she can do everything she wants to do with it. It's actually a bit easier than the 1050 was.

Wow! That's almost twice as big as my whole house!


And over three times as big as my house. One would hope he meant cubic feet...
