ImpaqT,

Dave is right, and didn't seem hostile in his repsonse.

The Current version of the 7300 does not go into the source select delay when MR ON is issued (whether or not MR is off or on)... why Marantz changed this ... who knows ... maybe a programmer forgot to leave in those lines of code.

If I had a version that went into the delay, as you suggest, there would be no problem obviously.

I don't need 2 RF recievers as another suggested, just one (all the equipment can be seen when using the remote, so it doesn't need RF). I am just trying to keep costs down. The MR would be routed via RF through the rear IR jack (which should be 1/8" mini like everybody else), and as far as the reciever would know it is coming from another room.

For now, I am probably going to keep the MR SOURCE UP macro I described above... as I said, all I need is ONE single known in, TUNER, CD, whatever. If I could set MR to a known source, the reset isn't that hard.
