Lyndel,
Thanks a lot!

The more I look at this does it make more sense for me to look at the RC9500? Seems like it would map the hard buttons right over and I would get a similar color device as the TSU7000. Do I have it right my ccf would open up right into the Marantz wizz software?

I just re-read the review of those 2 units. I am sure I read it back when it was written too! Doesn't seem like I gain a ton on the 7000 vs. the 9500? Am I thinking correctly that it would map all my IR codes, hard buttons etc. from my 5200 direct if I moved to the 9500 and used the wizz software? I guess my fantasy, which never works with software....is the wizz softare loads my CCF, all my IR codes and aliases work, and I just alt-copy or whatever new color buttons and put in new backgrounds?

Thanks again. Been out of this too long!
