Yamaha RX-V series receivers - complete mapping

[TFay]

Hi, 

I have mapped out what I believe to be fairly complete coverage of the Yamaha RX-V679 home theatre reciever, which I believe should be applicable to other similar Yamaha receivers of that generation.

It covers:

- System wide controls (Power on/off, Party Mode)

- Main Zone power, volume, mute, surround modes, sources, etc.

- Zone 2 power, volume, sources

- Play Controls for all sources, including sample Tuner controls

There are a LOT of network resources required to cover everything, so I've divided them up into more easily consumable files, which you can import based on your particular needs (no reason to waste resources on functions/sources you don't plan to use). 

I have also packaged up the entire set of controls in the file "Yamaha RG-Vxxx Complete.zip."

I assume that different Yamaha models of this generation may have varying number of HDMI inputs, AV inputs, etc. from the RX-V679, so depending on your specific receiver you may need to customize the specifics to your unit, such as deleting or adding sources, surround modes, etc.

Please note that in addition to the standard Web GUI you can control by going to your Yamaha's URL (e.g. http://192.168.0.71), you can also access a more in-depth advanced config GUI that gives you all manner of options. Simply add /Setup to your URL (e.g. http://192.168.0/71/Setup).

Enjoy!

@TFay thanks for what looks like a lot of work!  As a fellow RXV-679 owner I'm wondering how I can use these?  Currently using a Polisy on the latest firmware but don't use any network or polyglot resources yet...

You are very welcome!

I have mine set up with different modes in my Home Theatre. I have a KeypadLinc 8 button module with buttons for "Movie" "XBOX" "Party" etc., and programs that set the lighting, Turn on the XBOX, etc., and set the Yahama receiver to the appropriate settings for that mode. Movie mode wakes the Yahama and XBOX, for example, and sets the Yamaha to use straight through DTS with HDMI (calling Scene 1), whereas Party Mode uses 7 ch stereo and starts playing music from s NAS sharing my music library via DLNA.

Thanks to TFay for putting this together. It works great with my RX-V683.

I'm going to add some information for those (like me) who haven't used Network Resources before:

1. You need to have Network Resources enabled. It's included with ISY Portal subscriptions or you can purchase it separately.

2. The zip files provided here can be imported at the admin console tab, Configuration-->Networking-->Network Resources

3. Each resulting Network Resource needs to be edited to change the IP address to the address of your Yamaha AVR.

4. Programs can be written to execute these NR commands using the Network Resource category.

5. When the OP talks about there being a lot of network resource requirements, he's not talking about it bogging down your network.
