I have a 4400 Super and wouldn't want it without a remote. Way to limited with the features and options. However, there is a way around not having a remote for a receiver. And I've used this on other receivers also. Find an old remote from a TV set built in the early 90s (I normally find them at garage sales). The kind that has a Cbl/Sat function to control a cable box or satellite receiver. Then you just search the manual or internet for the codes that will operate the receiver you have. Input the right code into the remote and you're good to go. You may not have every single function but it's much better than without a remote. Have fun.
