My new yamaha rav 290 remote does not communicate with the yamaha rx-665 av receiver.

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.

chances are that the yamaha rxv363 will not control the bluray since it was produced before the bluray. as far as the LG codes, you may want to try a Zenith codeset. they are similar.

You can always do a system reset. there should be instructions in the handbook

Do any experts know the answer to this question? It has been posted multiple times, but I dont' see any answers! It is a pitiful manual that is provided by Yamaha for this purpose and nothing is intuitive about making this work. If anyone know the answer, PLEASE POST IT!

It can be 737, but I'm not sure... //David
