You can control other components by setting the 

appropriate remote control codes. Codes can be set up for 

each input source. For a complete list of available remote 

control codes, refer to “LIST OF REMOTE CONTROL 

CODES” at the end of this manual.

The following table show the default component category 

(library) and the remote control code for each input 

source.

Remote control code default settings

*

You can only set the TV remote control codes for the DTV/

CBL button. However, other remote control codes can be set 

for any input selector buttons except DTV/CBL.

You may not be able to operate your other YAMAHA 

components even if the YAMAHA remote control code is 

initially set as listed above. In this case, try setting other 

YAMAHA remote control codes.

1

Press and hold CODE SET on the remote 

control and then press one of the input 

selector buttons on the remote control to 

select the input source you want to set up.

You must press and hold CODE SET throughout this operation.

2

While holding down CODE SET on the 

remote control, use the numeric buttons on 

the remote control to enter the three-digit 

remote control code for the selected input 

source.

When the setting succeeds, “PRESET OK” appears; 

however, when it does not, “PRESET NG” appears in 

the front panel display.

To reset the code, enter the default code for each 

input source listed in the remote control code default 

settings table.

• If the manufacturer of your component has more than one code, 

try setting each of them until you find the correct one.

• You can only assign one remote control code to each input 

selector button.
