Yamaha RX-V1600 User Manual

In addition to controlling this unit, the remote control can also operate other audio and video components made by 
YAMAHA and other manufacturers. To control these other components, you must set up the remote control with the 
appropriate remote control codes. This remote control also has a learn feature which allows the remote to acquire 
functions from other remote controls equipped with an infrared remote control transmitter.

■ Controlling this unit
The shaded areas below can be used to control this unit 
after setting AMP/SOURCE/TV to AMP to activate the 
AMP mode.

■ Controlling other components
The shaded areas below can be used to control other 
components. Each button has a different function 
depending on the selected components. Select the 
component you want to control by pressing an input 
selector button or SELECT k / n. The name of the 
selected component appears in the display window.

■ Controlling optional components (OPTN area)
OPTN is an additional component control area that can be programmed with remote control functions independently 
from any input source. This area is useful for programming commands that are to be used only as a part of a macro 
function or for components that do not have a valid remote control code.
To select the OPTN control area, press n repeatedly until OPTN appears in the display window.

You cannot set a remote control code for this area. See page 96 to program buttons operated within this component control area.
