Sony Str-dn840 Set Up Issues - Programmable Remote, Digital Sound Display
Is the remote (RM-AAU170) which comes with the STR-DN840 programmable for a non-Sony cable box? If so, how? Also, does the unit have the familiar "blue light" reflecting the type of sound coming through the receiver? My screen comes up DTS for type of sound but the "blue light" isn't on.
