While I have just tested it this way. It appears the C7 works the same as your Big Easy, that you can not copy any key a 2nd time, and you can not copy any EFC code programmed onto a key. Oh well, no big whoop. At least there are easy alternatives to these small limitations, and they're all "on the books".

I think if you put in such a request to OFA, they'll go "Cinema WHAT? Sorry that doesn't appear to be in our line...". It's been said that they've orphaned the remote to another company, and I get the distinct impression from what I've seen that it will no longer be produced. Perhaps it's just as well, since they don't seem to know very much about their own remote, given a manual that's only half there and all this inaccurate information they give on it.... Which is a shame, because I know I'm not the only one to believe its one of the best things they made.
