I'm not familiar with the producer 8, but I can verify that the Cinema6 or 7 can learn on all keys but devices and SELECT, Stack commands on the same, remap commands on the same, and have macros on the same or stacked same. There is limited memory though, so I couldn't get mine quite to the degree of functionality my PRONTO offers. Being able to put functions on any key is a BIG PLUS! You can use names keys as memory hints where you put macros for example... I put an ALL OFF macro on SETUP then my EXIT key. The macro can be accessed no matter which device I'm using, but the normal EXIT function of that device still works. My TV supported Audio Swap on PIP so I put that command on SETUP then my PIP SWAP key. Regular swap still works, and I can swap the audio only by pressing SETUP then SWAP. Very nice.
