Had my 880 for 5-6 now and recently got an Integra DTR 7.2 receiver? I set my DVD player and cable box up the same as I had them on my old receiver, one running digital audio and the other running into the digital coax but I can't seem to get the remote set up correctly?

Also I was wondering if there's a way that when I choose "watch TV with surround" activity and I include in the remote set up that it turns the TV volume down initially.

Could you detail what you mean by "...can't seem to get the remote set up correctly?" Are you saying it is not turning on or off, not going to correct input??

As for reducing volume at activity start, there is a way. Add the "option" of "Volume Down" under the Activity Wizard. Please note that you will have to add it several times, as each "command" is only one push of the volume down button.
