Hello guys, I hope you can help me. I just bought this used but really good HTS from Pioneer and I don't have a remote. As you might guess, I don't want to buy a new one from Pioneer, it's ridiculously expensive. I am wondering if I can just go to walmart and get a universal remote for like 5 bucks. I only intend to control volume and power... What would you suggest? Will that work?

I think you might be better off buying the real deal rather than gambling.

If you already have a cable remote from Comcast or an Atlas, or pretty much any OneForAll, setup code Audio 1384 (31384 for the remote taking 5 digit codes) should work. If not, Audio 1023 (31023) will work.
Hard to beat <$20 for the OEM remote, though.

Thank you for your replies. As it turned out, a remote from walmart worked just fine. I ended up buying this little thing [Link: walmart.com] and it worked like a charm. I told you that I didn't need any special functions, I only intended to control volume and power. This is exactly what you would expect from this 5$ chinese piece of plastic. An original remote from pioneer (some of you suggested that I buy it) is a bit too expensive (19$ plus shipping 15$(yeah, I know, ridiculous, right?) which is roughly 35$). The codes that you told me would not work so I just did an auto search on a remote and it found it. So, anyway, thank you again, you gave me some options and opinions and I truly appreciate it!!

One never ceases to be amazed. Can I persuade you to add the manual to the Files section?
