On the Cinema6 and Cinema7 learning models you can "stack" additional functions on top of the original functions of most buttons (memory allowing). You access this additional function by pressing SETUP before pressing the button.

A feature I'd LOVE to see is the ability to stack DEVICES atop the device keys. A cinema7 would become a cinema14.

The obvious use for this would be for those of us with a second complicated system in our houses. Pressing TV would get me my home theater room's TV control. Pressing SETUP THEN TV would get me my bedroom TV's control. I have a second TV, VCR, DVD, DSS, RCVR, and CD player in the bedroom. Adding stacked devices would truly allow one remote to control my whole darned house!

Are you listening, Tom? If so, I want one for Christmas.

Oh, and if you're actually looking for a creative, inventive, artistic, product designer, home theater nut, universal remote advocate type then email me. I'd love to design remotes.
