Well not grief with the amp exactly which is superb and I would happily recommend to anyone (been gassing for one for ages and finally pulled the trigger after much deliberation - definitely no regrets there). My problem is with the Cubase recording software which doesn't seem to be the most user friendly thing in the world - took me the best part of a day to find the licence activation code to even get the thing to install and work! Anyway after much fiddling I've managed to be able to record my guitar and save it etc. however I'm at a total loss as to how to record a backing track through an MP3 player through the Aux input - can it even do this? The bloke at the shop where I bought it said it could be I just can't get it to work - has anybody else managed to succeed in this venture? If so then please I'd love to hear from you as I've been pulling my hair out for days now - and that really is something I can ill afford nowadays!
By the way if anyone else is having trouble setting up their Cubase activation code then I can send you a simpleton's guide on how to do this which was sent to me by a very helpful chap at Yamaha technical support.
Thanks all.

It's far better that way as you don't have to worry about levels or losing sound quality through additional DA/AD processes which you would by recording it in real time through an Aux input.
Thanks P90 that was helpful and I am able to insert the backing track using that method. However I'm now unable to record the guitar part over it - god knows why! I can never understand why large corporations and manufacturers fail to include simple, concise instructions written in layman's terms for their products. I'm actually at the point of giving up on the whole idea of recording anything with it now and I'm feeling that Cubase is a pretty sh**y product when in reality it probably isn't but just seems some decent instructions. I think I knew I was in trouble whenI saw the Quick Start guide was 54 pages long!
Thanks anyway.
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
Fretwired is right about the tutorials, and once you get going the first few months with Cubase (or most of its rivals) are actually quite exciting, with lots of "wow, it can do that too!" moments.
You're going to do what with your loins? X_X
So import the MP3 track. Cool.
Then create a new track for the guitar to record onto.
Then you need to "record enable" that track. There is a button marked "R", which lights up red if the track is enabled. Make sure you de-record-enable the MP3 track.
Make sure the input of that track (source or input on left hand side) is the THR10 and hit record and off you go.
