Mike,

I also had somewhat the same problem. But in my case, after I used the expert download, which said it was a good file transfer to the MX-500, (which ultimately it was), the MX-500 was locked up in that the LCD screen stayed at START and EXIT, and the EXIT would not let me back to the main screen no matter what buttons I pushed. None of the buttons worked anything and the backlight didn't work either.

So, I took out one of the batteries to "reboot" the MX-500, and wallah! it worked. The remote was just fine and the new download took just fine including changing punchthroughs. I've tried it several times and it locks up every time, even though the download always "takes".

I wonder if you or anyone else noticed their '500 lock up like this and need "rebooting"? Kind of a pain to have to do this every time I download a new change to the remote.
