Controlling Other Components

You can use the AV receiver’s remote controller (RC-623M) to control your other AV components, including those made by other manufacturers. This section explains how to:

Enter the remote control code for a component that you want to control (e.g., DVD, TV, VCR).

Learn commands directly from another component’s remote controller (see page 81).

Program the MACRO buttons to perform a sequence of up to eight actions (see page 82).

Entering Remote Control Codes

Entering a remote control code for a REMOTE MODE button allows you to control an other component with the remote controller. You’ll need to enter a code for each component that you want to control.
