You are testing a VCR code
tosee if thereceiver controls
aVCR.
TheVCR does not do the

TheVCR may not be turned ON,there
maynot be a tape inserted, the tape
maynot be rewound, or the write-
protecttab on the tape may have been
removed.
Thecode you are testing may not be
valid for the VCR.
Makesu re the VCR is turned ON, with a blank tape insert ed on which

protecttab on the tape is intact.
Try another VCR cod e from the VCR Codes table. The remote
controluser guide provides this table.
