Buttons like FF, Rew, Channel, Vol or any other "continuous" button I hold the button down till it says ok. For stuff like Play, Menu, #'s or Mute just a tap will do.

My MX-500 is continuous. Have you tried using fresh batteries?

If I hold down the +VOL button on the 990 remote until the MX-500 says "GOOD" and save it, then later when I hit the +VOL button, even just a quick tap, it will go up about +5. I've been using an MX-500 for a couple of years now, and I've never had an issue programming one. And so far, this is the only problem that I'm having. I won't have a chance to try again until I go home on Friday. Until then, please keep the ideas rolling. And thanks for the input so far.
Jeff

Thanks guys. Apparently I wasn't holding down the +VOL until it said GOOD. I've got it working correctly now. But I did discover that the 990 remote is no longer working, I had to use the 950 remote to get this programmed. So I guess that I'll have to troubleshoot the remote now to see what is happening. I've only used it to program the MX-500, with a couple of times making a quick change on the 990. I'll try replacing the batteries first.
Again, thanks for the help. Sometimes it's good to have the obvious pointed out to you.

gonk,
I hit every button on the remote at least once to see if I could get any response. Nothing. So I took out the batteries and put them back in and everything is fine. I don't know what I originally did, but whatever it was is now cleaned up. Thanks for the all the assistance.
Jeff

right after asking Trikos the mx850 question I checked ebay and found them for $199.the only thing that worries me is that they claim that the factory will not honor the warrantee but they will give you a year warrantee on it.

I just bought an MX-700 from bluedo.com . Paid about $175.00 for the open box special. The big selling point for me was they are an authorized dealer and provide the full mfr. warranty, even on the open box special. Can't wait for that thing to get here! I'm glad my wife told me to pay for the expedited shipping  I just wish I had ordered before late Thursday night! I could have it already. Oh well, it's given me a good opportunity to play around a lot with the software.
