Remote control for Yamaha AV amplifier

Simon Parker · 22 Oct 2017 at 21:51

I have a RX-V671 home cinema amplifier and the remote has finally packed up. I can use the mobile app. so it's not critical, however what would be the best route ?

The genuine remote is £35 online so does any one know of a universal replacement that will fully replace the old remote ?

I'm a bit behind on these things!

worth a try I guess, although it's a good few years old now.cheers

Considered replacing all the remotes with a Harmony?

Don't you need to have the old one to programme it ?

Nope, you just need to know the Make and Model of what you want to control.

I've just looked and it says Harmony 350 is compatible, however I wonder if all functions are supported.
Most universal remotes I've had in the past just seem to cover the basic functions.

All the Harmony's will be compatible, on some (without screens) you may need to assign functions to odd buttons, ie you may need to assign Sound Style to the Info button or some such, but every button on your current remote will be mapable to any button on the Harmony.

OK thanks, I can do basic functions from app, but not things like run speaker setup or even bring up OSD in fact.

if it is a full replacement then it looks like I may be asking Santa for one of those then :-)
