    It should be in the back of your remote's instruction manual. The code is different depending on your remote's model. You can find a list of Insignia codes online if you don't have access to the manual.

    Try re-programming your remote and your device. There may have been a software update that is interfering with some of your buttons. If the up and down buttons on your standard remote are working, this is likely the case. Run through the programming process again to reset it.

    Program your remote to synchronize it with the television, not the Chromecast. It should work the same as a standard remote. Keep in mind, the only buttons that work with Chromecast (on any remote) are the play and pause buttons. You still have to control what plays through your phone or computer.

    My remote, after reprogramming it multiple times, still uses the “OK” button to turn up the volume. This is frustrating because I cannot access my Roku or anything. It just turns up the volume. What should I do?

    Try turning off your television's HDMI CEC. This setting can be found in a television's settings menu. Essentially, HDMI CEC automates the settings for remote devices so that they run optimally, but the CEC can interfere with your universal remote's signals.

    Follow the steps listed above, holding down "CBL" or "STB" depending on your remote. Then, consult the back of your remote's manual to find the specific code for your device. If you don't have the manual, there are a few codes for Yamaha audio/video receivers: 0176, 0376, 1176, 1276, 1331, 1375, 1376, 1476, 1815, 2061, 2455, 2467, and 2471.
