Refer to your ONKYO receiver's original manual for specific functions and menu navigation details, as this remote replicates those commands.

4. Maintenance

4.1. Battery Replacement

Replace batteries when the remote's response becomes sluggish or stops working. Always replace both batteries at the same time with new AAA batteries. Do not mix old and new batteries, or different types of batteries.

4.2. Cleaning

To clean the remote control, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with water. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or alcohol, as these can damage the remote's surface or internal components.

4.3. Storage

Store the remote control in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If the remote will not be used for an extended period, it is advisable to remove the batteries to prevent leakage and potential damage.

5. Troubleshooting

If you experience issues with your replacement remote control, please refer to the following common solutions:

• Remote not responding:
  • Check if the batteries are inserted correctly with the correct polarity (+/-).
  • Replace old batteries with new ones.
  • Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote and your ONKYO receiver.
  • Make sure you are within the effective operating range and pointing the remote directly at the receiver's IR sensor.
• Certain functions not working:
  • This remote is a direct replacement and does not require setup codes. If a specific function is not working, verify that the corresponding button on the remote is clean and not stuck.
  • Confirm that your ONKYO receiver model (TXDS595, 24140447, RC447M) is listed as compatible.
  • Note that some ONKYO receiver models, like the TXDS595, may have specific power-on sequences. If the remote turns off but not on, this behavior might be consistent with the original unit's design or a known characteristic for certain older models, as reported by some users. The remote is designed to replicate the original's functions as closely as possible.
• Remote works intermittently:
  • This often indicates low battery power. Replace the batteries.
  • Ensure no strong light sources (like direct sunlight or bright fluorescent lights) are interfering with the receiver's IR sensor.
