I am trying to program the MX-600 remote for a Sony home theater in a box, and I have tried all the Sony codes for Audio, DVD, and CD, with no luck. Because the Home Theater in a box acts as a DVD player, CD player, and receiver it has a LOT of functions that I would like the MX-600 to do.
Is there a better way to program the MX-600 than to have it "learn" every function? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

What's the big deal? Just learn the codes you want and don't learn the buttons you don't use, or if the 600 is a PC connectable remote get a profile from someone else.
I spent a good couple of hours editing and learning commands into two systems and two MX-500's- roughly 10 devices in total...plus setting up my MX-700 with about 7 devices, then a old TC1000 remote. At least it's set out to the way they want...if you use preprogrammed codes loads of generic non working commands, bad locations on LCD screen etc.

I appreciate the feedback, but was wondering if there was a faster way to do it. There are just a lot of functions that I will have to manually program, such as changing the different sound fields for audio, the display for video, and menu functions for DVD.
The MX-600 is not computer connectable, but now I wish it was!

Sit down with a cup of tea! :-) First blank out all buttons in the device slot, then edit them for naming- then learn everything you need, for example Page one put (LCD buttons) TV input, menu, title, ratio, eject, audio, angle, subs, 2ch, Dolby, DTS IR buttons. Learn all hard buttons.
On page 2 put lesser used commands such as naff sounding DSP modes. You've got a pretty simple system (HTB) To edit and learn everything should take about 20 mins.
Mine has 1 CD player, 2 DVD players, dimmer, integrated amp, processor and TV. And I still lack sky, tape, MD, freeview DVB, VCR! With that sort of system complexitity PC remote worthwhile, but for a simpler system with three or so components not really worth it.
