Summary: Quality remote
Review: After using this for a few weeks, I believe that I've finally found the perfect remote. It has nice keys and a quality feel about it, with a good layout. The keys aren't too close together. Learning capability is available for all the keys. It supports macros for the on and off buttons, which allows you to shut off everything by pushing a button. All of the controls at the top can be macro'd also, so it makes switching between controls very easy. I owned the MX-500 before this and found it too much of a pain to use the menus... I like hard buttons that I can 'teach' at will and support for just enough macros to switch between devices. You can also punch through all of the different devices so that, for example, your tuner up/down volume buttons work everywhere. Occasionally when you hit a macro button it doesn't do all the commands that you tell it to, but it's a very minor annoyance to just press the button again. Also, while the initial setup took about 10 minutes, it took several hours of messing around to get everything set up just the way I wanted it. But that has been the case w/just about every remote I've ever owned. I love this unit.
