But, if the receiver has its own volume control, then when you first install it, it is set up so that the remote cannot control the receiver sound volume.
Changing the Remote Control Address 8. If the code you entered does not work, repeat steps 3 through 7 using another code from the tables. 9. If you have tried all of the codes listed for the device without success, or if you cannot find the device brand name in the tables, see Device Code Scan on pag e20.
