You don't even need a learning remote for that. There is a kernel hack (so-called HiJack by Mark Lord - see Programming section) which enables any IR remote that emits according to a certain protocol so that hardware sees it (I don't remembet which, but Kenwood and Pioneer stick to it) to act as empeg remote. Key-to-command mapping is as simple as writing few entries in a file on empeg. You can even write macros. I am sure there's an entry on that in FAQ.
