I have this remote with my cable box and it work's great with all my hardware but the only thing I can't get it to do is to turn on and off my yamaha receiver with the remote.Once the receiver is on I can get the remote to work but just not the on and off button.I have a Yamaha 1400 Receiver. If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it very much.

Thank's

Your Yamaha remote has separate buttons for Power On and Standby (off). This is a good feature for setting macros on learning remotes, but a bad feature for people who use universal remotes, since the universal remotes never provide for a dual function power.

Sometimes a universal remote will turn on the power, but will not turn it off because that is a separate button. It appears that yours is one of the universal remotes that does neither, and if you don't have a learning capability, there is not much you can do except use the original remote for the power functions.

Some receivers will turn on with the press of any button, so if yours does that you could at least turn it on, but not off.

Thank's Ron for the reply. Do you Recommend and nice remote that don't cost allot that will work with my receiver?

Unfortunately there are very few, if any, universal remotes with codes for DVR's, and probably less with a code for Atlas, so you will need a learning remote with sufficient capacity to learn all of the DVR commands. All remotes should be able to control your Yamaha, but you will still have to learn many commands.

You could get a Sony VL700 (which may be discontinued), or a VL-900, which is at least $50.

Your best bet is a OneForAll or Radio Shack remote, but these have limited learning capacities, probably not more than 25 commands, so you would need jp1 or upgrading.

Someone with jp1 experience should be reading this and may reply. If not, you can post your question on this forum [Link: remotecentral.com]

Try this:

1, press audio device
2. press and hold SETUP for two blinks
3. enter 9-9-4
4. tap SETUP for one blink
5. enter 2-4-6, which is the advanced code for OFF
6. pick a key

Now see if that turns the receiver Off.

Thank's that worked great but now only if I can get a code to turn it on by the remote that would be awsome.I ordered a Sony VL700 so I will give that a try when I recieve it. Thank's again all for the help.

Thy these codes or these.
