Hey there! I just picked this receiver up last week, and agree, the MCACC is very difficult to master, and the lack of crossover options just plain sucks. That said, I do have all of my components running through HDMI control, and it is pretty seamless. As far as using the factory remote to control anything....the only way I was able to control my elite dvd player with the receivers remote, was to switch it to the BD input, that way it was just one button that I had to push to program it. You have to work with the remote a little to get used to it. As far as sound output....I used the same setting as most for regular tv, then for movies I have been playing around. THX sounds great with some movies, some of the other advanced surround modes sound good with others. Its all a matter of taste I guess. It is gonna be a longer process with this one for sure. lol Good luck!!
