Remote has the latest software version (3.13). I downloaded PC software from Denon website, installed it on my Windows XP computer and used it to program the remote via the USB port.

It features an optional RF basestation, high-resolution backlit screen, control of up to 23 components and a USB port for PC connectivity.

The reviewer has used this remote control for more than two years.

If the unit is plugged into the USB before opening previously saved configuration files the software will not be able to download to the RC.

Solution is to open RC-8000 software first, open relevant configuration file (File, Open Configuration), and then plug in the RC using the USB connection.

Needs the ability to program the face buttons under the system recall section.

It wasnt until I got brave enough to try the system recall function.

It SERIOUSLY cuts back on the constant scrolling and clicking youd have to do in order to turn on all the devices in your system.

I just wish they had fleshed out this system a little more before they had released the remote.

I too had a problem with it freezing up during the update, so I restarted it and it finished without a hitch.

I only wish that the contrast hadnt been reset as well; it made it seem as if the screen wasnt working.

An excellent remote for those who love tinkering with stuff.

It doesnt remember your last viewed page to display it automatically on your return.

This can be quite annoying if youve grouped functions for a given device on a sub-page.

For instance, Ive grouped all of my Main DVD commands on a sub-page (with 3 more sub-pages for the less used DVD commands).

I have a shortcut to the Main DVD page from the Remotes Home Page.

So when I quickly want to FREEZE the DVD, I first have to turn the remote ON, than from the Home Page, select my DVD sub-page and finally click on the FREEZE button.

Not cool Since a page can contain only 12 buttons, you quickly have to flip through more sub-pages to access less frequently used buttons even on the best optimized setup.

Even if the remote WAS able to remember the last viewed page, the number of available buttons on a single page is still too limited for any practical use.

People that purchase a DENON AVR-580X series receiver are likely to have many other devices hooked up to it.

The 12 quickly accessible buttons (ok, plus the other 6 hard buttons) will soon become excessively limiting.

On a positive note.

I had no trouble whatsoever configuring the remote through the supplied software as opposed to some other users.

Remote has the latest software version (3.13).
