I am trying to set up the Yamaha remote to control all in my basic system: rx v3200 panasonic g10 plasma samsung 1600 comcast hdtv Somehow, the volume button for the remote only controls the cable volume which shows bars going across the bottom of the picture but does not change the volume. I read the manual and tried to clear the "learned" function but all it gives is an error. Now the master volume does not do anything but revert to moving the cable volume. Can anyone help here? Also, is there a way to delete sources on remote such as vcr1, vcr2, phono, etc? Thanks I have Yamaha RX V-3200. I am trying to set up the Yamaha remote to control all in my basic system:

comcast hdtv

Somehow, the volume button for the remote only controls the cable volume which shows bars going across the bottom of the picture but does not change the volume.

If the other component doesn't respond after that then it's likely that the code is not the right one for that component. If none of the codes work you're probably out of luck. :-( It’s my understanding that the “RemoteSetup OK” message just means that the remote control will now send commands corresponding to the code that you entered.

Or at least have some UI way of manually submitting tracks? Or is it possible to create a hook when going online (e.g. an application gets started when the tablet's status changes to "online"). There are surely lots of users that do not have the time or motivation to investigate this and are then angry to see it's not really working (or working in some strange ways). So, automatically pushing the scrobbling information to the servers when going online seems to be the way you would have also expected it to work. Having a maemoscrobbler control panel applet and disabling this feature manually (or enabling manually?) would be a nice, user-friendly way of doing this. Where is maemoscrobbler's bugzilla?

Actually, I'd love to get one for my 80-year-old mum, if I could get it to handle ABC Radio National - she now lives out-of-range of RN, and really misses it. However when I try to hook into it from the ABC website, it just hangs at 'connecting'. Any suggestions would be _really_ appreciated.
