I am thinking MX-3000 software would be way behind in its database.

Even with updated CCP I had to create my own Yamaha device from 3 different databases to get inputs (including HDMI, audio and a/v inputs), scenes, and surround modes.

From my notes - Yamaha AVR 1567 or 1438, 1439, 1660
   DSP 579 1271 Zone2 1661

Code set 1660 has all the power & input codes for the Yamaha RX-A2A.
For the DSP modes, yeah usually I have to use 2-3 code sets to find the specific discrete DSP modes I want. But that is more a power user thing. Most customers never touch the DSP controls.

Not sure if you have ever had this happen before but.... Because the Scene commands are so easy to program (press and hold the scene button until it is saved); I have had customer's kids or friends of the family screw up the scene programming by doing just that.
So I no longer rely on the scene commands. I just send a few commands that will always do what I need it to.
On the higher end Yammy you have a lot more scene presets. Presets that are not easily accessible. So that's fine. But I stay away from using those first 4 scenes because of the above.

Knock on wood. I have never had anyone change the scene commands. Equipment isn't usually in plain sight, so maybe that's why.

Well here is something else to consider with using scenes.

If the customer ever has problems with the Yammy receiver and either they or Yammy tech support has them 'factory reset' the receiver. Scene programming is gone and breaks the system from now working as intended - requiring a service call unless you can walk the customer thru on how to reprogram the scenes themselves. And that would happen even if not using the first 4 scenes on the more expensive models.
Same thing in a warranty situation. If receiver gets swapped, then those scenes are gone and need to be reprogrammed.

When Yamaha 1st came out with the scene programming, I thought it was great. "How awesome of a feature is this".
But if you really think about it, for a business to use this for a customer (which isn't tech savy to do things on their own), then this is a horrible idea. So I do not recommend using scenes in programming your customer's systems.

One approach is to have a hidden screen in your controller, accessible only from a fresh controller boot, perhaps password protected, and this screen is able to setup the scenes again.
