The analog tape decks use Sony VCR remote codes and the digital tape decks & CD players use Sony DVD remote codes.

Configuring the DirecTV Remote: To program the DirecTV remote first slide the switch at the top to AV1 or AV2. Press and hold the MUTE and SELECT buttons until the green light at the top blinks twice then release. Using the number keypad enter the 5 digit device code from the table above. If done correctly the green light will blink twice after the last digit is entered. Note: On the DirecTV remote the Record button must be double pressed to activate the function.
