John,

After setting all to auto, did you point the MSR+ at processor (with system in standby) and press clear?

I ask as I suspect you now have two controllers now on your system.
This might be what you want but it is not a typical setup and can cause problems esp. when both controllers 'see' the IR signal.

Regards,
Carl
