Programming Instructions for:

Yamaha RX-V995 AV Receiver Remote

This is the big silver-colored remote with the flip-open cover and some glow-in-the-dark keys.

Because this remote is a learning-type, there are no codes you need to know. But you do need the original remote for your equipment, or another universal remote, to program this one.

Learning a new function

Step 1

Place this remote controller and the other remote controller so that they face each other, about 2 to 4 inches apart.

 

Step 2

Press the LEARN button (near the top of the remote, with the cover flipped open) using a ball-point pen or similar object. The TRANSMIT/LEARN light flashes slowly.

If there is no operation for about 30 seconds after the LEARN button is pressed, the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator flashes rapidly and the current mode is cancelled. Repeat this step.

 

Step 3

If necessary, select the memory area by using the A/B/C switch on the side panel of the remote controller.

 

Step 4

Press the key on this remote controller in which you will store a new function.

If a key which cannot learn another function is pressed, the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator flashes rapidly and the current mode is cancelled. Repeat this step.

If there is no operation for about 30 seconds after a key is pressed, the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator flashes rapidly and mode before you began learning operations is restored. Restart from step 2.

Step 5

Press and hold the key (on the other remote controller) which has the function you want to store.

When learning is finished, the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator stops lighting. You can release the key. Then the indicator begins flashing slowly.

If a signal is not successfully received, the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator flashes rapidly and the mode prior to step 4 is restored.

If memory capacity is full, the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator flashes rapidly to show you that learning is impossible, and then the mode before you began learning operations is restored.

 

Step 6

Repeat steps 3 - 5 to store more functions.

 

Step 7

When you finish the learning operation, press the LEARN button.

 

Notes

Newly learned functions will replace previously learned functions.

If there is no more room in the memory area for a function to be learned, the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator will flash rapidly. In this case, even if some keys are not occupied with functions from other remote controllers, no further learning is possible.

If you close the cover while learning, and then about 5 seconds pass, the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator flashes rapidly and the mode before beginning learning operations is restored. Start from step 2. However, if you open the cover within 5 seconds, the mode before closing the cover is restored.

There may occasionally be instances in which, due to the signal-coding and modulation employed by the other remote controller, this remote controller will not be able to "learn" its signals.

When you press the LEARN, MACRO, or CLEAR button, or the RESET button inside the battery compartment by using a sharp-pointed thing, be careful not to damage the button. If you use a mechanical pencil, make sure that the lead is retracted.

 

Making a new macro

(Paraphrased and condensed from the manual)

Press the Macro button with something sharp, and the light flashes slowly.

Press a preset macro key (one of the glow-in-the-dark ones on the right).

Press the keys you want the macro to execute, up to seven.

When you are done, press the macro button again.

Clearing learned functions

(Paraphrased and condensed from the manual)

To clear a learned key function, press the learn button. To clear a macro, press the macro button.

Press and hold the clear button.

While holding the clear button, press and hold the key whose function you want to clear until the light flashes three times. To clear more functions, do not release the clear button, and repeat this step.
