Denon AVR 2807

I purchased the above reciever and need to know if anyone else is having problems with the remote control. I can use it to control the volume but not switch between functions (ex. tv to dvd). The remote will also change from stereo to cinema but that is about it. Any suggestions on what I am doing wrong or how to fix this issue would be appreciated.

Even if the remote has some basic 'learning' functions if it came with the receiver it is a pre-programmed remote. You CANNOT mix functions from multiple devices within one mode of the remote. Most of the newer ones do allow you to control volume regardless of the mode but that is about it.

Most likely your problem is that you need to change the remote to 'receiver' mode to be able to change the source selection. If you entered a setup code to control say your DVD player and then press DVD to control it, you will have to change back to receiver mode before the input selection buttons will work (because those codes are only mapped to the receiver mode).

A Harmony remote does everything I want with my 3806, controls the TV, Cable Box, DVD player and one button switching from one activity to another including turning devices on and off and changing settings like moving from video 3 to video 5. The 3806 remote gets used for setup duty only.
