The service manual also states the same:

COMMAND MODE CHANGE MODE

The command mode of the remote-commander which this set receives can be changed.
Procedure:
1. While pressing the [2CH/A. DIRECT] button, press the [POWER] button to turn on the main power.
2. Either the message “C. MODE AV1” or “C. MODE AV2” appears.
Select the desired mode.

If it doesn't work for the receiver, it could be similar to the problems encountered with the STR-DE485/495/585/595 series receivers that does not allow you to change the command mode on the receivers but it does on the remote. It seems as if Sony leaves that capability off of the lower end models of the receiver line, for some odd reason.

I just installed a new STR-DG920. Sadly, it appears just different enough from the DA2400 to not include the ability to switch controller modes. Pages 35-36 in the DG920 manual are similar to what is shown for the DA2400, minus the ability to switch modes.

I guess it is time to use the learning feature of my Sony VL900, but it will be a shame not to be able to use the TiVo Peanut remote too.

Sadly I can also confirm that the STR-DG920 does not switch to AV1 with this. Still looking for a way to do this, and rather upset that last year's model (DG910) and it's high-end "twin" (DA2400) both support this while the 920 does not. It's driving my wife nuts, which in turn is driving me nuts.
