Just got my 950 that replaced a Marantz 550 (my system is posted on the System Forum). Programming the remote macros and individualized buttons has been a trip fraught with some difficulties. I mistakenly made a macro through the power button that took time to get a handle on. I do have some experience programming remotes as I did so with the RC-2000 four years ago.

Some questions:
1. Should ALL keys from my JVC RPTV be able to be programmed?
2. I downloaded the manual of the SL-9000. Even without the LCD can the Outlaw remote perform all of the same functions?
3.In particular I do not like the way the preamp turns on everytime a source key is pressed.
4.All feedback appreciated.
Thanks!
