the rav212 is the only yamaha remote that will give all the set-up features..... the others do not give all the features. I have the same problem except I have another model yamaha learning remote.
Get a One For All remote, one that's telephone upgradable. If it won't do everything you need it to do, it can be upgraded over the phone. If it still doesn't do what you need and it's a learning remote, take it to an electronics store and borrow theirs to teach it what you need. I've had to do it that way in the past.
