You will be able to operate everything, except the dsp sound modes, equalizer, and setup modes (and things like dimmer, etc). I have a Sony 333ES, which uses the same code. But, overall, it operates it well. I use it instead of the remote that came with mine.

For what it's worth, if you can spring for a DB830 or DB930, if they are still in stock (even a demo unit), or the new DB830 or DB940, you'll get a much, much better receiver that will last you much longer and sound a whole lot better!!!

I've owned the cheaper models and the DB and ES models are far superior!!! FYI!!!
