Wrong remote I purchased the rx-v661 used but was given the wrong remote I have the rav 352 remote. Can this remote be programed to get into the main menu to change from large front speaker to small so I can use a powered sub. thanks

To perform a factory reset on a Yamaha RAV 352 remote for use with an RX-V2500 receiver, follow these steps:
1. Turn on the RX-V2500 receiver using its power button or remote control.
2. On the remote, press and hold the "VCR 1" and "ON/STANDBY" buttons simultaneously. Hold both buttons for about five seconds until the remote's indicator light blinks twice.
3. Release the buttons. The remote control should now be reset to its factory default settings.
4. Test the remote by using it to control the RX-V2500 receiver. Make sure the remote is within range and pointed towards the receiver's IR sensor.
If the factory reset doesn't resolve any issues you're experiencing with the remote control, you may need to try replacing the batteries or consider getting a replacement remote from Yamaha or an authorized dealer.
Please note that the steps provided are based on general instructions for Yamaha remotes, and there might be slight variations in the specific procedure for your RAV 352 model. Consulting the user manual for your specific remote or contacting Yamaha customer support can provide you with more accurate and detailed instructions tailored to your device.

Have you gone into the speaker configuration menu and turned on zone 2?

I'm assuming you mean when you try to turn up the vol on zone 2 it says "zone 2 vol fix" and you want it to be "variable" giving you the control from the remote. Open the GUI menu (Receivers main settings menu) go to (options) select external zone or zone2 then select (Variable) If you have your receiver passing video to your TV it's alot easier to navigate the menu. If you still have problems, post a reply on this thread with your product list including make and model #'s and I can walk you thru the whole process. Hope this helps

Hi.

Looks like the the unit is locked to region 1.

The Yamaha receiver you listed is region free, therefore I assume you are talking about a different unit, in that case give model please.

If you have the problem with a Yamaha RX-V661, then simply disconnect power cord for ten minutes. And disconnect from power all devices connected to the receiver.
This should reset the system.

Let me know in case it does not work.

Regards.

Get the original Yamaha remote, go to Set menu, manual setup, speaker setup, and look for "extra speaker." it needs to be set to "zone 2." This is off the top of my head, so it should be pretty accurate. Get used to doing this, though, as this amplifier assignment to zone 2 is prone to resetting itself in those Yamahas.

Sounds like the Zone 2 amp was set to external, see below for instructions on setting it back up.
How do I setup Zone 2 on the RX-V661 Using the internal power amp.

Setting the RX-V661 remote control to operate Zone 2
1. Using a ballpoint pen or similar object and press the Code set
button. The Transmit indicator on the remote should flash twice.
2. Using the numerical key pad on the remote and key in 9992, the
Transmit indicator should flash.

You will now need to assign the receivers internal amp for Zone 2.

1. Set the remote control selector to AMP. Selector is on side of remote.
2. Press the Set Menu Button.
3. Arrow down to Manual Setup.
4. Press the Enter button.
5. Arrow to the Sound Menu option and press Enter.
6. In the Sound Menu arrow to Speaker Set and press Enter.
7. Arrow to the EXTRA SP ASSIGN and select ZONE2. This may require using LEFT or RIGHT arrow.
8. Press the Return button to exit out and return to the Manual
Setup.

Hi jimvandy

Most yamaha codes will work some of your unit functions. try 0176 or 1176. These are for a dvr3 comcast remote. You can get the whole list and manual from here

There is no "fix" the mic is picking up a lack of bass based on room acoustics and is trying to help. There is nothing wrong. If you are using bi-pole or dipole speakers it will always show out of phase.

your receiver has zone 2 output which is operated independently of the main reciever. so you can have a dvd playing inthe main reciever and the tuner playing over the intercom. read about it in your manual page 89. in will hook up to 2 RCA jacks in the back Zone 2 out.

I too am experiencing this problem.... and my receiver is only 5 months old. Its a RX-V661
