Why does everybody say the Denon remote sucks? If it's the same as the remote for my 2802 it is pretty cool. I've programmed mine to run everything. It won't allow me to operate EVERY feature of EVERY component, but w/ some creativity I've got most of them covered.

Remember, w/ the two selector switches you have 8 possible components to operate. Use the unused component settings to store specific operational commands that the remote otherwise would not perform.
