Willscary was nice enough to list the steps to copy button functions from other remotes to the 950 remote. Both the 950 remote write-up and the SL9000 remote manual did not list a crucial step, and thus I failed miserably trying to copy buttons from an original remote to the 950 remote before reading Willscary's post (so I will have to give it try once more tonight). Thanks for the write-up.

But I did figure out how to "map" a device to another device button (this is in the SL9000 manual that I printed out yesterday).

If you want VCR capability on the SAT device, you have to hold the SAT button and the Mute button simultaneously, and then hit the VCR button, and then enter the VCR code(s) for the VCR you want to control. Once the code works, then hit the SAT button to save the code. This works for any device that has a device button (CBL, VCR, DVD, TV, SAT, AUX, TAPE), but I ran into problems when I tried to figure out how to map the LD device to one of the buttons, the TV/V2 button. I have no idea how to map that device mode to any of the device buttons.

I still need to save a few buttons from my original VCR remote to the 950 remote (like MENU, etc). Hoping Willscary's write-up will help in that department.

I guess if I have to manual copy over the pertinent LD buttons, I will give it a shot.

I did get the volume punch-through for all of the devices, so that's a convenient feature.
