Yeah, the 3805 remote is not my favorite. I like buttons I can touch without looking. I do this more than I realized. I'm using a MX-850 universal remote for my system and it does all of the 3805 commands except for the dedicated button to select PLXII Game mode for the surround processing. However, You can still get to this using the surround parameters button and the menu. I imagine the Harmony remote can be configured to cover all the buttons too. I'm glad to see the new 3806 has an improved remote.
P.S.
I should add you could add the PLXII Game mode control to the MX-850, but you would lose another command. The 3805 uses every button and all 40 soft buttons. However, the zone commands use 6 soft buttons and may not be that important to a user.
