However, please note that there are cases where only certain functions may be controllable after assigning the proper preset code, or the codes for the manufacturer in the remote control will not work for the model that

you are using.1

VSX-915 only – If you can’t find a preset code that matches the component you want to control, you can still teach the remote individual commands from another remote control (page 65).
