Controlling Other Components

You can use the AV receiver’s remote controller (RC-681M) to control your other AV components, including those made by other manufacturers. This sec- tion explains how to enter the necessary remote control code for the component that you want to control (e.g., DVD player, TV, or VCR).

Entering Remote Control Codes

To control another component, you must first enter the appropriate remote control code to a REMOTE MODE button. You’ll need to enter a code for each component that you want to control.
