When I bought this remote about 1 1/2 years ago I thought it was great. The macro ability and key mover stuff is great. I spent about month getting it the way I like it. Then a few months later the batteries started dying. So I followed the directions in the manual and replaced the batteries. Upon putting in the new batteries I got a memory fault, so I followed the directions in getting out of this. What I got was a remote that was the same as the day I bought. All my programing was lost. I spent the next month programming the thing again but a few months latter upon changing the batteries again I got the same result. I lost interest in programming the thing again and now it sits in the bedroom operating a single tv. I now have a SL-9000, which I checked and it will hold its settings for up to a year after taking out the batteries.

I hope you have better luck than I did.
