Any help or clarifications will be greatly appreciated.

I've had the 950 hooked up for a few hours now and I have to say that I am quite favorably impressed with the audio quality! However, I would describe the user interface for configuration and operation to be a bit "quirky" (trying to be polite here).

My first question is one I posted a few months back, so I'll try again. Does anyone know if the 950's IR code set is backwards compatible to any device? If possible, I would like to program some of my "legacy" remotes to at least control the 950's volume. Think Tivo here. I'd REALLY like to be able to adjust volume from the peanut remote's buttons, but I can only pick from pre-programmed devices known by the Tivo remote.

Question two: Night Mode. From what I can tell so far, I can only enable and adjust night mode levels from the configuration menu (and even then only under certain conditions). Even though the remote has a "night" button, it appears to have no effect other than to bring up the OSD. It does not appear to cycle through night mode compression settings as described in the manual.

I was going to ask a third question about speaker size and crossovers but I just went back to re-read some bass management threads and my head hurts too much right now.

Thanks for any help,
Gary
