Patrick, I have a Seleco SVT-180 and my Yamaha remotes won't learn from the Seleco remote either. I have an older RXV850 remote and a new "RAV150" remote (for current Yamaha RXV series). If you find out any more info on what remotes will learn from the quirky Selecos can you let me know? Same deal from me if I discover anything.

thanks!
