• Remote control codes cannot be entered for RECEIVER
and ZONE 2.

codes from any category can be assigned to the REMOTE
MODE. However, these buttons also work as input selector
buttons (➔ page 23), so choose a REMOTE MODE that
corresponds with the input to which you connect your
component. For example, if you connect your CD player to
the CD input, choose TV/CD when entering its remote
control code.
