I noticed that the remote for the 970, although being backlit doesn't have the source/surround buttons on the bottom of the remote printed on the button so although you can see the button, you can't read what the button does, unlike the other buttons. A strange oversight, me thinks. However, I figure sooner or later, I'll remember what each button does now in the dark, but this could be a good suggestion for future releases. Make the buttons on the bottom consistent with the buttons on the rest of the remote.
