I purchased one of these remotes about three months ago and returned it after I tried it in many different ways. I was impressed with evrEything that it does but was disappointed that the lower buttons are not backlit. Since all this is done in the dark it makes no sense to have the LCD display lit and all the other buttons hidden in the dark. I loved the remote, but there is nothing more disturbing then trying to find a button by feel in the dark. Light up the buttons and I will buy that model and keep it. Thanks to Tweeters, they gave me no hassle for returning this product within 30 days. (UNLIKE CIRCUIT CITY WHO WOULD CHARGE YOU A 15% RESTOCKING FEE, YECHHHHH!!!!)
