I've been using another Home Theater Master model - SL9000 for three years. Easy to program, most of the buttons have the right labeling on them already and there are programable buttons for special needs. It's about the same size as my Direct TV remote, and it has two versions for each of 8 device types. I've controlled Toshiba, Krell, NAD, Linn, Samsung, Kenwood, Phillips, RCA and AMC equipment, and the cost was under $140. I loved that they post their manuals on the internet so when I misplaced mine I was able to get the info I needed when I added equipment.
