I just received my RM-AV2000 and for the whole-part I'm satisfied. I was a little shocked that the only pre-programmed DSP tuner was a sony brand (which left me to manually program my pioneer receiver). I also felt that if you are going to backlight a remote, other buttons (such as the volume, channel, and input selection) should also be lighted. I hate having to fumble around in the dark searching for the VCR button before I can select the functions on the Backlight screen. Lastly, I have an old Pioneer LD player and have had a real problem learning from my Pioneer remote.

But in comparision to other so called pre-programmed remotes, I think this is still a great bargain.
