glad to hear you got it all working. Now for scenes. The way i have mine set up i can push one button and it will play a DVD..dim the lights...and turn the fireplace on, etc. Its pretty easy...hold the commander off and mute button at the same time. Then push the system button on the LCD screen. Next push what system you want to program..i start out with one of the three system control buttons on the remote buttons. After you push the system button start selecting, in order, what commands you want the remote to do. After the last one push the commander off button. Thats it! Its pretty easy. Let me know if you have any more questions...good luck!
