Oppo remote codes

[cmdogz]

I'm setting up a Yamaha XV-R1800 receiver's remote. The owner's manual doesn't have remote control codes for Oppo products. Oppo's website is pretty indefinite about its codes. Anyone had any luck determining the appropriate control codes? BTW. its a 983 Oppo.

Oppo cannot know what setup code to use for a Yamaha remote nor any other remote. The number you punch in to a pre-programmed remote is just a setup code that points to a table in memory with details about one particular device (hence 'pre-programmed'). If the Yamaha does not have a code set for Oppo players built-in then you cannot program it to control the Oppo.

If the Yamaha remote has learning capability, you can teach it the Oppo codes from the original remote but it may not have enough memory to learn every single function.

Oppo isn't really a mainstream company, so the codes not being available doesn't surprise me. If the remote isn't a learning one, I'd say you are either stuck with using 2 or buying a learning one.

From page 47 of your DVD player manual:

13. Alt RC Code (on/off): To turn on or off the DVD player’s response to a set of alternative remote control code. The alternative remote control code enables users to program their universal remote controls that comes with TV, Projector or A/V Receiver to operate the DVD player. If the universal remote control has a DVD player control function, please program it with the code for TOSHIBA, PHILIPS, MAGNAVOX, MARANTZ or ZENITH DVD players. Since each brand of remote control may have several sets of codes, you may need to try several times using different codes to get the working one. In case you do not want the DVD player to respond to the alternative remote control code, you may turn off this option.

You should read the manual for your DVD player.

It is possible that NONE of them will work or one of them will only control some of the functions and not all. That's why you usually see a dozen or more setup codes for a large manufacturer like Sony.

In this case, I would be willing to bet quite a bit of money that his receiver's remote can be set to operate his Oppo, unless his unit is malfunctioning. I am confident of this because I have an older Yamaha receiver (the RX-V2700) and the same DVD player, and mine works fine using the instructions given in the Oppo manual.
