I previously did these for the 50ES model.  Most of them are going to be the same for yours.  I believe the device file is now in the slinke distribution, but if not, I can forward you a copy.  Everything on the touchscreen remote can be done through the slink commands.  The only item that is still elusive to me (and I REALLY need) is an Slink command to switch analog/digital input to either Analog/Digital/Auto.  This isn't even on the remote - I have to push a button on the front panel.
