Can the 700 take care of all your 990 controls? power on/off? we have that weird on/off 2-button thing...

Can you assign a macro like "watch DVD" with the MX-700 that turns 990/TV/DVD player ON... puts TV into input 2 (since I run my component video straight to the TV) puts the 990 in DVD mode etc..?

When you mess with the 990 OSD you use the 990 remote true?

Thanks Vince
You can do just about anything with the 700. Like you I run all my video directly from the source units to the TV and have my 700 set to turn on anything with a one button macro, i.e. I can turn on the TV, sat box and 990/7700 with one button. If I am watching the sat and want to switch to DVD a one button macro will switch TV to DVD input, turn on DVD player and switch 990 to DVD settings. I can turn-on or switch to any component with one button macros I have setup.

Like gonk I haven't used the 990 remote since the first week I've had it. I can access OSD with the 700.

Remember though the 700 is not RF so you would need the MX-600, 800 or 850 which all work with the same software as the 700. The MX remotes are great!
