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.
