The buttons are definately scrambled. From what I've found, the 7,8,9 and 4,5,6 are reversed. The 2 and 3 are reversed (I think). And the "1" button I found by manually scanning advanced codes from 255 down on my own.
The swapping of buttons can be done with the key mover. Remember, the key mover moves the ORIGINAL function, not the copied function. Therefore, you can do:
MAGIC**, 9, 9, 4, 9, 6**
MAGIC**, 9, 9, 4, 6, 9**
and effectively swap functions. I don't have a lot of experience with this receiver. I set it up for my brother a while back and this is what I remember doing.
I seem to remember that for day-to-day operation, all I really needed to fix was the number keypad part of the remote (and maybe the surround button).
