S3 remote - receiver control.

maybe you can use the dvr 1 2 button and set one for the tv and the other for the receiver.

or you can use one button of the remote and let it learn the receiver on/off.

 

Do the following in the order written:

1. press and hold TV POWER & TIVO, enter the TV code
2. press and hold MUTE & TIVO, enter Rcvr code
3. press and hold TV POWR & TIVO, enter Rcvr code again.

Another workaround would be if your Receiver has a power outlet on the back, plugging the TV's power cord into it, and not the wall.

 

It doesn't. My S3 remote turns my TV & Receiver on/off with one press. I've been doing this with TiVo remotes since 2002.

 

But can you get it to turn the TV on and at a different time, turn the Receiver on. Lets say I only wanted to use my received for DVD playback. I don't want it to come on when the tv comes on.

 

No.

 

I came here for this very same question. I can get it to control my Onkyo volume, but not the power.

I tried the exact steps as listed above, and none of the codes work for the power, even the one I'm using for the volume???

Thanks

 

I love this ability. Discovered it maybe a year after my first TiVo when I got a new remote. I've used it to power on/off my TV and stereo, and have setup the same for someone who I recently gave a TiVo.

Only problem is when you have a less responsive tv or stereo, or one seems to take more than one press to turn on or off. I end up frantically pressing the power button again to get the TV on while the stereo is powering on and non-receptive to another signal.

Remote setup is always rather dreadful... have to first find the codes that work for you - and I've never actually made note of the sequence I use to set it up - but playing around with setting the codes should get it to work.

 

Amazing. For years never knew the power button could control both. Just tried it and it works!!!! Yahoo!!

 

I wanted to do the same thing however the codes available on the remote programming screen won't my program my remote to use my Sony STR-DG800 receiver. I had to cycle through the remote codes until i found the right one. So it works but since I dont know the code I can't program the peanut to turn off the power on both the TV and the receiver at the same time.
Does anyone know if its possible to figure out the the remote code is once you've found it by cycling through them until you get it?

 

I found that doing the prescribed steps caused the Onkyo to turn on, but wouldn't turn off. It must use discrete on/off codes.

My fix was to get a Harmony remote, which knows the specific details about the various models of A/V equipment (including the Series3).

 

I succeeded in using my Onkyo remote to train my S3's Input button to turn the receiver both on and off, so it is possible for the peanut to do both to an Onkyo with only one button. I just want that button to be the power button, which also turns my TV on and off. If I train the Power button, it loses its ability to control the TV.

I tried training the S3 remote with both the Onkyo and TV remotes at the same time (i.e., hold TiVo & Select, press Power, click the power buttons on both the Onkyo and TV remotes at the same time (!), press TiVo). Does anyone think that might work? It's difficult to press and aim three remotes at the same time.

At this point, I'm just leaving my receiver on all of the time, but expect an Earth First person at my door any moment now.

 

Re: Using the TiVo remote to turn an Onkyo receiver both on and off.

I've tried all of the codes from 1000 to 1255. None of them could turn my Onkyo receiver both on and off. I didn't simply use the code-search function because I wanted to know the code for toggling the receiver's power, so I could program the power button for both my TV and receiver. (Code 1196 causes the TiVo's power button to switch the receiver's input to AM radio. A few codes turn the receiver on but not off.)

Mindless fun while watching mindless television!

 

I guess no one reads instruction manuals any more.

 

Note a recent post by TiVoJerry (search for him in this forum or the Coffeshop forum (Glo remote thread there??)) gave a pointer to a TiVo help page with a slightly different procedure (different from the manual), which allowed for the power switch to explicitly control the power on three devices at once. More things to try!

Thank you! This procedure worked. The power button now controls the TV and turns the Onkyo receiver both on and off.

aaronwt, it's not clear to me how you think the instruction manual would have helped with a power toggle for an Onkyo receiver. The TiVo-provided codes only turn the receiver on, not off.
