Is it possible for my reciever remote to control the TV as well?

[Kyle Lorenz]

I got a JVC-RX 6042 receiver http://www.jvc.com/product.jsp?modelId=MODL027170&pathId=5&page=2&archive=true and a Sony KV-27FV300 FD Trinitron Wega 27" TV http://www.amazon.com/Sony-KV-27FV300-FD-Trinitron-Wega/dp/B000067FCX#moreAboutThisProduct (The manual is just under Product Details if you need it)

I looked on my JVC remote and it has buttons to control TV volume and on/off switch, etc. Is there any way to "program" my receiver remote to control the TV? Thanks!

I admit that I didn't read the manual but in general the remotes that come with any non-TV component are very limited in their ability to control a TV. TVs have way too many functions.

At best they might be preprogrammed to control on/off, channel, and volume/mute.

That's basically all I ever do with the TV anyways so that would be perfect.

If the manual lists codes for Sony TVs you have nothing to lose by trying them out. I'd bet there are at least a dozen setup codes listed though as Sony is one manufacturer that is not consistent from model year to model year with their remote codes.

I got it all figured out. One less remote lying around

Good Job, Kyle.
Your rig looks great.
The sense of satisfaction when you figure out an A/V problem with your system is one of life's little perks!
