Your problem is that the Logitech Y-RC14 keyboard is an *RF* keyboard.  
"RF" stands for "Radio Frequency", as opposed to "IR (Infra-Red)".  You 
can't use an RF device with an IR device.  If you want to have a remote 
learn your wireless keyboard codes, you'll either need to get an IR 
keyboard or an RF remote (though getting an RF remote might not solve 
the problem if it's a different frequency).  An IR keyboard will 
definitely give you what you want.
