Short Story: I'm stupid...have no clue about remotes and need help

Long Story: Bought an Amp from Goodwill to use in my woodshop to listen to music, but the amp running the theatre died so I put in the Goodwill amp in it's place.

So my main goal is to get a remote that can control the Amp - but it would be nice if I could have it control other things too.

My list of items:

TV - Sony KV-2080R - only need to have a power button on this as this TV is 20+ years old...yes, I know...upgrade, but money is tight and I'm waiting for prices on TVs to come down before the Superbowl.

Digital TV Converter - Tivax - STB-T8 - We got rid of Cable TV as it was getting TOO expensive

DVD Player - KLH Digital - KD-1220

Tivo - Series 1 - you do see a pattern, don't you? If it works, why replace it?

AMP - Harmon Kardon AVR 225

The only piece that I don't have a remote for is the AMP, which is the main reason I'm looking for a universal remote that won't break the budget.

I did a search to see if the AVR 225 in all three places - found a file to download, guessing to program a remote. Searched the forums and didn't find anything current - latest was 2007, which really isn't current as I'm sure whatever remote was recommended won't be available anyway...

So, I'm hoping someone out there with a kind heart will help me in finding a remote that will work for the amp and maybe a few others.

Get a RCA RCRP05B (<$20 at Best buy, Walgreens, Sears, etc) Call the store first. Or get it off the internet.

TiVo units were made by several manufacturers, so  if the "TiVo" button doesn't work, post back with the manufacturer name.  The individual buttons on the RCRP05B are user customizable, and we can tell you how to do that.
