Yamaha HTR-5400 rdu file question

I bought a new receiver the other day and in anticipation of it arriving I started looking around for the upgrade codes that I can put into my remote.

I noticed in the rdu file for RM a comment for one EFC that it is "Service Mode, DANGER"

On my last receiver, when I was looking for other things, I kept building upgrades that used EVERY EFC to see what happened. If I do this with the new receiver and it gets into DANGER, what do I then do?

Maybe the message is not to experiment, but hey that's what this is all about....

You can still experiment, just avoid the code that's labelled as dangerous. Unless you want to find out first hand what it was labelled that way! :)

Check out the Yamaha website (a link might be listed at the Yahoo jp1 site). They don't have IR codes listed explicitly for the HTR series, but if you can match your reciever up to the equivalent RX series, you will get a pretty good list. (The difference is that the HTRs are the mail order version, and the RX series is supposedly only sold by authorized dealers) I once found that an HTR-5280 was about the same as a RX-V800. Some of the RX codes didn't work, but my searches didn't find any working codes that weren't on the list. There are other messages posted here about how to compute the EFCs from the codes that Yamaha provides.
