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.
