HT crazed,

Forgot to mention that I don't hear the hum described by others. When nothing's playing (in DVD mode-optical cable) at any volume when my ear is close to my ribbon tweeter I can hear noise. It's very faint though and can't hear it when you're more than a few feet away -which I always am. I can't say that the noise is the 950 either.
I'd be more willing to bet it's my amps.

I have a dedicated 20amp line to my HT room, and 12ga. elec. wire. The rest of the house and the other houses connected to the same power transformer are all wired 14 ga., so my HT room should be supressing most outside noise.

Matthew,

I think we're in the same boat w/ our DVD remotes.
If this helps, I programed in my DVD code which works some menu functions, then I taught it all the track numbers and a few other buttons which gives me enough to 'basically' work the two sets of DVD remote functions. I didn't use up any macros yet either.

I'm determined to shelve my other remotes even if it means losing some control. I think this remote'll come 'close enough'.

I'm sick of having a pile of remotes, and my old Denon did away w/ most of them. I'm not gonna go backwards, and I'm not gettin' a rip off pronto- not when they cost as much as a palm pilot!? Too bad there's no IR adapter for those. Now that'd be a good deal.
