Aside from the fact that URC has jumped through a lot of hoops to let people know this, why are you calling it "State of The Art"? That would normally denote "Top of The Line", wouldn't it?

It's possible to control more than one zone, but button mapping is needed.

PBF- if you get the training for this model, you would know that you can add commands to each button, so in effect, you can have an activity that includes all of the devices and a button inside of that activity that, which would allow :

Set Receiver to DVD, Set TV to HDMI 1, Audio Mode- Cinema, etc. You decide which devices are in each activity and then add them, as needed.

For those who say these are made for idjits, stop thinking they should conform your narrow-minded idea of the world. Doing the training would eliminate 99.9% of the complaints.
