Onkyo Rc-799m Remote Manual 👑

Because the RC-799M is from the "Pre-HDMI-CEC maturity" era, do not expect magic.

The Onkyo RC-799M is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) remote control supplied with select Onkyo home theater receivers and amplifiers, primarily from the late 2000s to early 2010s. It is most commonly paired with models like the Onkyo TX-SR606, TX-SR576, TX-SR506, and HT-R560 home-theater-in-a-box systems.

While no longer in production, the RC-799M remains a highly functional, pre-programmed universal remote that can control up to 6 different devices (TV, DVD/Blu-ray, CD, VCR, Cable/Satellite, and the Onkyo receiver itself).

Good news: This remote does not use Bluetooth or RF. It uses IR. As long as your Onkyo receiver has a clear line of sight to the remote, it will work automatically. There is no "sync" button. onkyo rc-799m remote manual
