Actually Frank, looking at the differences between the Pioneer and the Empeg remote and not having the tuner as of yet...the only new really useful button would be the "attenuation" function as it is on the Pioneer (and it won't work with the Empeg until v1.1) This being said, the functions that have already been mapped will be perfect for now. I imagine however that in the future, once you have had your Pioneer remote for a while, that you will enhance the functions that are mapped now and we will all benefit... Thanks again for all your help. John
