Thanks to your question and resultant replies I now know how to solve my problem with the DVD player. I have a question for you since you said your other components function flawlessly. Did you perhaps successfully load the codes into your remote to enable control of your other components? I tried several times to follow the manual instructions but had 0 success. I see no indication on receiver nor remote that an attempt is being made to enter codes.
I'm glad my question helped you,.. that is what this is all about.
Anyhow, as for the remote, programming I assume, I haven't even bothered with that at the moment.
Of course, the 'dilemma' faced with so many people who do a proper home entertainment setup of any kind is they end up with 2, .. 3.. 4 or more remotes... Which is a hassle.
Some have the built in 'learn' function that you can point one remote at the other and program the infra-red output from one remote to the main remote you wish to use. I am not sure if this Pioneer remote possesses this feature, but will make use of it if so.
This setup has a Direct TV remote, Pioneer KURO plasma remote, The pioneer 822 Amp remote, and an Internet box/Blu ray LG remote.
Given that I went to the extra step of purchasing the computer to mount conveniently in the room with touch screen and wireless keyboard/mouse it makes the LG bluray (internet box) redundant, even the Sony playstations internet functions redundant.. as it is just more simple to go to a touch screen monitor in the room and stream and media, from audio, spotify, netflix, youtube, (and the list never ends..).
I would like to get the Direct TV remote working with the pioneer receiver remote, but never had the pre-conceived notion that it would be that simple.
Just a heads up, I did attach an aftermarket (non pioneer) Netgear universal wireless adapter that has an Ethernet port out to make the Pioneer 822 linked to my LAN and the internet. So I then downloaded the free APP for the receiver on my Iphone 4.. (also works on droid, etc). Which allows input select, active volume change, power off, mute, and so on. Which is handy when you have a remote across the room, under a couch, and so on. The ultimate goal would be to have a way to combine them all to one remote -- perhaps going with a Logitech Harmony Remote which *will* do the job. A little pricey, but if that is your goal I've heard great things about them.
Here is a link if you haven't already looked into it:

I am no expert on the remotes, just have looked at them back in 07/08 -- and since then they seem to have emerged as the best of their genre.. (up to debate I'm sure).
Good luck on your system!
