I have several (simple) universal remotes, they basically do (TV, DTV stb, VHS) power on/off, channel change, VHS play/record (no programming), I keep my remotes in the same place all the time.
My new receiver has a room correction system, getting the room cleaned out and another home theater set up in it is a 2024 project, I'll probably try the room correction system but I'm not sure I'll use it all the time.
Strangely, considering my history with using tone controls, I now find the result of using tone controls distracting, the music sounds out of balance.
Anyway, back to enjoying surround sound (real and fake in my case).
