I love my new 990, but I can't say the same for the remote! worse remote since my old Marantz unit! I tried both ways to get it to recognize the following:
1-Momitsu V880 DVD player
1-Sylvania HD box
1-Z1 projector
It finally did recognize my Pioneer 578 player, but thats about it! The lights are pretty though......
Oh well, a small price to pay for a wonderful prepro.
I must say that the setup menu was a breeze.
