You need to select the SYS INFO AVAIL mode(s) and transmit/receive the appropriate codes. Unfortunately the the RX11/15 manuals were written in the "older" Yamaha style, and unlike the newer QX7 and TX7 manuals, do -not- contain the Yamaha exclusive format listing. Jim Smerdel at Yamaha has given the IMA most of the Yamaha format sheets explaining the exclusive messages. So just ask IMA for the format sheets. p.s. It -does- work!
