Controlling Other Components

You can use the AV receiver’s remote controller (RC-764M) to control your other AV components. This section explains how to enter the remote control code (with the default underlined) for a component that you want to control: DVD, TV, CD, etc.

Preprogrammed Remote Control Codes

The following REMOTE MODE are preprogrammed with remote control codes for controlling the components listed. You do not need to enter a remote control code to control these components.

For details on controlling these components, see the pages indicated.

BD/DVD Onkyo Blu-ray Disc player (54) TV/CD Onkyo CD player (54)

PORT Onkyo Universal Port Option (51)

Entering Remote Control Codes

You’ll need to enter a code for each component that you want to control.

1 Look up the appropriate remote control code in the separate Remote Control Codes list.

The codes are organized by category (e.g., DVD player, TV, etc.).

2 While holding down REMOTE MODE to which you want to enter a code, press and hold down DISPLAY until the remote indicator lights (about 3 seconds).

Note

Remote control codes cannot be entered for RECEIVER and ZONE 2.

Only TV remote control codes can be entered for TV.

Apart from RECEIVER, TV, and ZONE 2, remote con- trol codes from any category can be entered for REMOTE MODE. However, these buttons also work as input selec- tor buttons (21), so choose a REMOTE MODE that corresponds with the input to which you connect your component. For example, if you connect your CD player to the CD input, choose TV/CD when entering its remote control code.

3 Within 30 seconds, use the number buttons to enter the 5-digit remote control code.

The remote indicator flashes twice.

If the remote control code is not entered success- fully, the remote indicator will flash once slowly.

Note

The remote control codes provided are correct at the time of printing, but are subject to change.

Remote Control Codes for Onkyo Components Connected via u

Onkyo components that are connected via uare con- trolled by pointing the remote controller at the AV receiver, not the component. This allows you to control components that are out of view, in a rack, for example.

1 Make sure the Onkyo component is connected with an ucable and an analog audio cable (RCA).

See “Connecting Onkyo uComponents” for details (17).

2 Enter the appropriate remote control code for
