Here's my situation so far with my troubles:

Sony Wega 36" TV
------------------
IR learning worked fine. Works with the TV. GREAT!

Samsung VCR
---------------------
IR learning worked fine. Programmed in play, stop, FF, REW, and power. All work except the power.

Theta Digital Casanova preamp/processor
-------------------------------------------
IR learning worked fine. Flat out doesn't talk to the Theta however. Hmmmmm.


General Intruments XRC 100 Cable box remote (RCN of New England)
--------------------------------------------------
IR learning extremely tough, but seemed to get it eventually after weird angles. Also flat out does not work with cable box.

Any ideas what's going on? I still need try my CD and DVD player. I'm baffled/
