Actually, out of all the universal remotes that I've purchased, this (15-1994) was the first found that I found that actually worked for my Technics reciever. The power button works fine for me, plus, I taught the remote how to change my surround mode and to change the volume of the rear channel speakers. The only thing I haven't been able to do is switch between VCR/CD/FM etc, so if that's your problem, then I don't know what to tell you.
