Remote and Yamaha receiver issues

Greetings Westsider64,

We understand that your Apple TV remote is not controlling your Yamaha receiver as expected. The following steps may be able to assist you:

1. "Make sure that your TV or receiver offers HDMI-CEC support. For help, ask the TV manufacturer or check the manual.
2. Check that your Apple TV is connected to an HDMI port that supports HDMI-CEC. Check the TV manual to confirm which ports support HDMI-CEC.
3. Check that HDMI-CEC is turned on in the menu of your TV or receiver. Use the remote that came with your equipment. Because manufacturers often have different names for HDMI-CEC, look for a setting that ends in "Link" or "Sync." Here are some examples:

• LG: SimpLink
• Philips: EasyLink
• Samsung: Anynet+
• Sharp: Aquos Link
• Sony: BRAVIA Sync

* While volume control normally works using the IR sensor on the front of your TV or receiver, some receivers use HDMI-CEC instead. With volume through HDMI-CEC, you don’t need a clear path between your remote and the front of your receiver."

These details can be found in the resource you were reviewing: If you can't control your Apple TV with your home theater or universal remote
