TA17Rem,
If you look at all of the new features of the Fury, we were very well aware of keeping things simple. That is why we decided on some of the new features. If you take a look at how many times you depress buttons on a stand (maybe not your stands in particular, but the overall majority of stands made), the new features are intended to keep these button presses to a minimum. No volume button changes, no sound changes, no looking at numbers on the back of a remote or on a display, just hit the sequence and go. I don't think it can get any simpler. And again, these features are only there if you want them. As all of our products, the remote is very easy to use. And, the same can be stated for the other features as well. I can remember when we came out with the TX-200, and people looked at things like the presets and timer and thought why would I ever need that? Today, they are more important to our customers than anyone ever thought they would be. It is by answering the wants and needs of the predator community that has got us to where we are at today, and it is not going to change in the future.
I hope word doesn't get out about your recliner caller--shipping something like that would be cost prohibitive, LOL!
