Yamaha RAV-172 I need a manual on how to program the remote---Any on have one?b Jim

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.

Some buttons on it have been shorted internally. Open the remote control and clean it. If you wish to get more details about how to clean a remote control, check this site. I've seen a post there related to this. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/. An older post indeed. Search for it.

You can get the manual on the link below. Scroll down to product details then click on manual.

1. Set the selector dial to the position for controlling the component. (for example, set to "VCR" for a VCR)
2. Press both the VOLUME ^ and v keys at the same time and hold them until the indicator flashes twice.
3. Use the numeric keys to enter the four-digit manufacturer code for the component to be used. Make sure that the indicator flashes twice.
NOTE: if the indicator does not flash, repeat step 3 and enter the code again.
4. Try operating the component with the remote controller to check the code entering is successful. If not enter another code for the same manufacturer.

Does anyone know where to find a user manual or instructions to use the Yamaha RAV250 remote control?

HI I HAVE THIS REMOTE CONTROL RAV 283

Here's how I got mine to work. FIRST THING: Once it's programmed, you use the TV function keys at the bottom of the remote for Power On, channel changing, etc. The other keys on the remote don't operate the TV.

1) Press the "code set" button with a pen or straightened paper clip
2) Press the [A] key (next to "V-AUX")
3) Enter the code

Test it by pressing the Power key in the TV section on the remote (NOT the "Source" Power" key or Main power key at the top).

(2) Enter the 4 digit code for the device

Hope this helps.
