Remote control codes cannot be entered for the [RECEIVER] and [ZONE 2] buttons.

Only TV remote control codes can be entered for the [TV] button.

Apart from the [RECEIVER], [TV], and [ZONE 2] buttons, remote control codes from any category can be entered for the REMOTE MODE buttons. However, these buttons also work as input selector buttons (page 45), so choose a REMOTE MODE button that corresponds with the input to which you connect your component.
