I think I finally have my Cinema 6 and system set up in a user friendly manner. I used the "L" keys for each of the 4 fucntions, TV, DBS, DVD, & VCR, and a macro key for "all power off". I have'nt had any luck with the SONY soundfields though it is not really a priority. What the heck, I do have to get up occasionally! I would like next to develop a macro that would switch from antenna to DBS and vise/versa with limited key strokes, and have'nt used Macro 2 yet. Will work on that one.
All in all, this is an awesome remote when you compare it's ability and cost and also, when I bought mine I also purchased 2, four battery packs
figuring I'd need to replace the first set after the programming. Two weeks now on the origionals and still strong (and I have done alot of programming on this remote)
