How to Test the Functions on a Yamaha Remote Control
- 1). Slide the battery cover off the back of the Yamaha remote in the direction of the arrow to remove the two AA batteries inside. Replace with a fresh pair of AA batteries, matching the polarity of each battery with the "+" and "-" symbols printed inside the compartment.
- 2). Point the front of the remote control directly at the Yamaha component. The remote must be within 25 feet of the component to transmit the infrared signal.
- 3). Press the "On/Off button" in the upper left corner of the remote to check the power function on the Yamaha component, which should illuminate to show it is ready for use.
- 4). Press the "Open/Close" button on the Yamaha remote for a CD or DVD player to eject the disc tray. Insert a disc in the component and press the "Open/Close" button again to retract the tray.
- 5). Press each button on the remote control to test its corresponding function on the Yamaha component. Work systematically, pressing buttons one row at a time, left to right.
