This is my first visit to this site...but I have a similar problem as stated above. I have a philips FR965 Home Theater Receiver. I have a Mitsubishi television. I don't have the model number with me as I write. I have Direct TV. I have an Emerson DVD player. For my husband where less is better, I need the most basic remote possible to control the volume on the receiver, turn the tv on and off and of course work all the Direct TV channels etc. He doesn't even use the Dvd player so I am not concerned about that. Can you offer any suggestions please. Again, the more basic for him, the better. Thanks so much.
