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 83).

• Program the MACRO buttons to perform a sequence 

of up to eight actions (see page 84).

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.

Notes:

• Remote control codes cannot be entered for the 

[RECEIVER], [HDD], and [ZONE 2] REMOTE 
MODE buttons.

• The remote control codes provided are correct at the 

time of printing, but are subject to change.

Entering Remote Control Codes

Look up the appropriate remote 
control code in the Remote Con-
trol Codes list.

The codes are organized by category.
