December 22, 2025Dec 22 I want to control the volume of my surround sound with my BT-400 remote. Is it possible to pair this remote to the receiver? If so, how?
December 22, 2025Dec 22 No, the BT400 only pairs to some limited brands of TVs only. And there is no IR learning keys either. The BT/IR200 series of remotes, does not pair with other devices, but they have 4 keys which can "learn" IR codes from other IR remotes. The IR/BT100 remotes have 2 keys which can "learn" IR codes from other IR remotes. What I typically do in cases like this is set my receiver (and I have an old Yamaha myself), to about the 60% position (which would represent the max volume I would ever use), and then disable the "force max volume" option, so that way the volume buttons on the BT400 remote actually control a variable volume level from the box itself. So when the box says 10%, 50%, etc.. of volume, that represents a proportion of the max level you have already dialed in on your receiver. I know it may not sound convenient, but at least this way, you only need to set a volume once on your receiver, and then the rest of the time, you can control the volume from your Buzz box remote. PS: If you have already tried to pair/program the BT400 remote, you may need to just do a factory reset on the remote. If you wish to factory reset your remote to erase all settings press and hold the D-Pad Down button and the 0 (Zero) button for 4 seconds until it blinks 3 times to indicate the remote is factory reset BT300/400 remote manual: https://buzztv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/BT400-300_manual_MOBILE_v6_Compress.pdf
