 Selection item=Yamaha_NetRadio label="Sender" mappings=[1="N Joy", 2="Radio Sport", 3="RDU", 4="91ZM", 5="Hauraki"]
 Selection item=Yamaha_Input mappings=[HDMI1="BlueRay",HDMI2="Satellite","NET RADIO"="NetRadio",TUNER="Tuner"]
 Selection item=Yamaha_Surround label="Surround Mode" mappings=["2ch Stereo"="2ch","7ch Stereo"="7ch"]

the tricky thing are the " around NET RADIO, this Key (left from the equal sign) is a value that must be send to the receiver with the space inside. If you omit the " the binding sends only the NET and the receiver do's nothing. Same are in surround definition!
