>From looking at the remote, I can't tell if this is a multi-function
remote 
or works as some have suggested.  I would be inclined to think that 
the buttons don't actually send an IR code, they just switch the 
functionality of the existing buttons on the remote to match the 
button (TV channel up/down sends different codes than 
Picture up/down).  This is the case with another remote I 
have, where the TV, CD, DVD and AUX buttons don't send IR at all.
If that is the case, remapping those buttons won't do anything.
