Just got my MX-350 last night and thought it was very straight forward and relatively easy to setup. Much easier than my old Sony Remote Commander anyways. Got all my devices programmed, got the punch through stuff working the way I wanted, even got my basic ON/OFF macros working no problem. Did have a couple questions though that a search didn't really answer or clear up for me.

1. Can I hide Page 2 of the main menu? I followed the instructions but don't seem to get the Add?/Hide? dialog for that screen. I only run the five devices on the first page, so page 2 isn't really needed.

2. I tried to do a power OFF macro to turn all devices off. But if I didn't have the device on (DVD for example)... it turns it on instead of off. From searching it sounds like I need to use a "discreet" code, and it appears the 350 can only learn that from other higher end remotes. Am I understanding that correctly? I also suppose I need to check my original remotes and see if they have a separate power off button, which this remote could learn?

3. Are there any other websites/instructions that go into a bit more detail than the instruction manual? Or is searching on here the best way to learn about other things I can do with macros? I'd like to see common/accepted ways people setup their power ON/OFF macros.

I guess I'm thinking, my main power on macro will be to turn on the TV/Cable/Audio. Then each device button macro (maybe after a 1 second delay) should turn on that device, switch the audio & TV input accordingly. Then my Main power off macro would turn everything off. Does that sound logical/reasonable?

Thanks in advance.

PS - The local shop I bought the MX-350 from was a little leery about me attempting to set this up myself. Of course since they charge $150 for programming, I'm sure they wanted to do it. After running through the instructions & setup what a joke. It was VERY easy so far I thought.

i have an mx3000 and i had a similar problem. my macro for system off for the dvd is dvd=play then i put in the power button for dvd. i guess the play button usually turns the dvd player on, then power again to shut it off. i do it this way because when i turn my system on my dvd player stays off, until i press the dvd icon, then it powers up. i hope this didnt sound too confusing.
