I certainly preferred using the GUI over the odd two button and scroll sequence one has to use when selecting sound fields with the remote. Navigating the GUI is very intuitive, if a bit slow at times. The real highlight of using the RX-V2700 is the new GUI, which allows you to graphically select inputs and sound fields. The RX-V2700 also includes a small second remote that can be used to control the receiver from a second zone using a remote IR receiver (not included). The only other notable feature of the remote is a small LCD that lets you know which source component the remote is set to control. You might want to drop by AVS forum and read up on the RX-V2700 thread which explains the problem extensively.

I believe Yamaha solved this with a firmware update but can't remember. I found a reference to a firmware upgrade at Yamaha RX-V2700 & Windows Media Connect - Audioholics Home Theater Forums.

Like the less expensive RX-V659, the RX-V2700’s remote has three modes, Amp, Source, and TV, that are selected with a toggle switch on its right side.
The RX-V2700 remote looks dated, but is relatively effective to use. These include three HDMI 1.2a inputs, an ABT scaler, a YPAO room equalization system, and a modern graphical user interface (GUI) for setup and operation.
The Yamaha RX-V2700 isn’t the flagship of Yamaha’s receiver range, but you wouldn’t know that from its rich feature set. However, I was curious about what stepping up to a more expensive Yamaha model would yield, so I was very excited to have the opportunity to review the RX-V2700. Introduction Over the years, I have reviewed a number of Yamaha’s mid-range receivers and have always liked their design and the value they offered.
