I am also a happy T773 owner and I am extremely happy with it's easy to operate remote and menu features. I have it also hooked up to the zone 2 in the living room. The zone 2 remote is a line of sight which requires a remote eye,(fairly cheap to buy) so for the volume adjustments it's a nice to have item. They really did design this for easy operation. This receiver is powerful and very capable, sounds great too.
