When doing that, you also have to use a different remote? Am I correct in thinking this?

I just got a 3500, and it works great! The SD allow easy uploading of bins! Picture is great but I can not get the S-Video to work. It did work initially, but I can not get into the menu that controls Component Video or S-Video! Just using Composite now!
