Changing Remote Control Code

This Remote is capable of transmitting two control codes; one set to respond to A code control signals and another set to respond to B code control signals. This Remote control is preset to send A code signals because your VCR is initially set to respond to A code signals. You can easily modify your VCR and the Remote to respond to B code signals. When using two JVC VCRs, set two VCRs and their Remotes to different codes, so that you can operate these VCRs separately.

ASet remote control code for Remote

APress and hold A/B.

BPress the Number key “2”.

C Press OK, and release A/B.

● The Remote now can transmit B code control signals.

BCheck remote control code for VCR

Press and hold 4 on the VCR for more than 5 seconds while the VCR is turned off. The code currently set appears on the display panel.

CChange code for VCR

Press any key on the Remote. The VCR now responds to B code control signals.

●To set the Remote and the VCR back to A code control signals,

repeat the same procedure as shown above except pressing the Number key “1” in step B of 1.

To control two VCRs with the same Remote

You can control two JVC VCRs by switching the remote control code for the Remote between A and B ( step A), keeping two VCRs to different control codes.

●To change only the remote control code for the Remote, DO NOT perform steps Band C.
