Yamaha's universal remote allows you to program in several different electronic devices into one remote to replace a lost remote or get rid of the many different remotes around your home entertainment system. It can work with a DVD player, cable box or home audio equipment.

Step 1

Turn on the device that you want to program into your Yamaha universal remote. If it is a media player, insert a tape or disc into the device in order to test it once you program it. Keep other devices off during this time.
