Don't all the major players do a similar common remote thing?
in a sense, they offer a facility for programming the remote to operate certain functions on other kit, but only if it's current, new models probably won't be enabled. I've got a big Yamaha a/v amp with a programmable remote, but it won't operate a Yamaha SACD/DVD-A player I bought several years later, or my Sony 40" LCD telly, or my SkyHD box, so I still have to sit (lie) with a bunch of remotes scattered around. My Yammy feeds a Sony Chorus 5.1 speaker system, which sounds pretty good to me, music is particularly well presented. Best of all is I picked amp and speakers up for half price as ex-demo, £1500 quid's worth for £750. Nice!
