Reading many reviews but still confused. Hope someone can help me.

System: Mit 55857 projection tv
denon receiver 3301
hdtv satellite receiver
ultimate tv satellite receiver
progressive dvd
svhs vcr

Problem: My wife gets confused changing the video for the tv and change the audio settings. For example, hdtv satellite requires the mits DTV input and using the VDP input for digital audio.

Question: Can a remote handle changing the tv inputs to the correct video input(dtv,dvd,vcr,reg sat) and receiver to the correct audio matching the video input selected?

I am confused with the video portion since you toggle up and down to the respective video inputs. How would a remote know to change from VCR to Component 1 video inputs with the next change from VCR input to DTV input? Different toggles? Audio is straightforward. Need to sync the video/audio tasks.

Thanks,
david

The mitsu tv allows for direct video channel selection using discrete codes. You will need a remote capable of accepting these codes. You should also have a remote capable of performing macros. My guess is that any remote capable of discrete programming will also accept macros.

I use a pronto and have macros assigned to icons that handle all the switching so the wife does not have to.

Example, TV icon turns on tv, selects appropriate input then switches to cable tuner screen. DVD icon powers up tv, reciever, dvd player, places tv in proper video made, receive in dvd mode then displays dvd screen. Lighting icons to set x-10 in motion, etc.

Crew, the Harmony is also a remote worth looking into. It "remembers" the state of each piece of gear, so you don't have to.
