Two Questions:

1)Can a Macro step be to switch to a Device menu?
ie. At the end of a Macro to say "Play a Movie on DVD", would think the ideal last step would be
to automatically switch over to the DVD transport controls. Can you do this?

2)I notice there is a time built into the unit,
does this imply you could set up instructions
to execute a macro on a certain day/time? Alternatively, can the delay you can program in
a macro be on the order of hours/days? (ie press record in 24 hours to tape something tomorrow
at the same time).

Bonus Question: Are there "soft" channel and
volume buttons on some screens?

Bonus Question 2:Can the "hard" macro buttons
on the remote be used to flip to a particular
screen (have one go to the VCR control page #1
for example, or to the macros page)

Bonus Question 3:Can you program a 'default'
page that the unit automatically goes to when
powered on? (Or does it automatically go to the
same page it was last on), and can this page
be the macros page? I like the idea of seeing
a custom menu with large buttons containing
phrases "Go to VCR Controls", "Play a Movie", etc.
similar to the Madrigal/Microsoft remote.
