Which brings me back to my question #1. If they don't
remember states, then I'd need to find out how to discover
whether or not there are discrete on, off, and input selects
for the TV, receiver, and possibly the DVD recorder.
The Panasonic has discretes for On/Off and all inputs.
[Link: remotecentral.com]The Sony has discretes for all inputs (which act as a discrete power on) and possibly a discrete off. For discrete on, use the input you want (IE, DVD). This will turn the reciever on. For off, the reciever has to be set to AV1 to work. More here:
[Link: remotecentral.com]The power discretes are available here in hex:
[Link: remotecentral.com]The Yamaha has discretes.
Other Panasonic DVD players I have encountered allow discrete on/off commands.
And there is likely info on Dish reciever.
As for remotes, the 810 is prettier, but can be tricky to program. The 900 is much more straight-forward. With the 900 I can create bullet-proof macros. The 810 is close, but not quite as much. All your devices have discrete codes, so I think you'd be okay either way.
