Changing Remote Control Code

This remote control 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 recorder is initially set to 
respond to A code signals. You can easily modify your recorder 
and the remote control to respond to B code signals. When using 
two JVC recorders, set two recorders and their remote controls to 
different codes, so that you can operate these recorders separately.
