Controlling other equipment

Using the remote control with other components

The supplied remote control can operate not only this receiver, but also your TV, DVD player and other components, once you’ve programmed it with the appropriate preset code.

When you select an input (DVD, STB, DVR/TV, VIDEO, FRONT or FM/AM), you change both the receiver’s input source and the remote control mode (see also Remote Direct function on page 35). Some buttons on the remote have different functions depending on the current mode of the remote.

The TV CONTROL buttons are dedicated to controlling the TV. They will always control the TV no matter what operation mode the remote is in.

The default preset codes are shown in the table.
