hey michael,

if you haven;t gotten pronto edit yet, get it at www.prontoedit.com, and get the latest update and load it into the remote. I then uploaded the updated file as a master template. Then if you don't like it, you can start over. Keep it simple at first. A lot of times i only have one or 2 basic pages for each device for the day to day functions.

Re: components, consider the hk avr7000, one of the best high current av receivers, or the parasound avr1800 and matching amp for a separate package that's awesome & affordable!

Check it out at www.absolutetheater.com.

Thx, Paul.
