It is possible that your VCR is confused. Most JVC VCRs are capable of operating on two different remote codes (A code or B code). In order to reset the code in the VCR to the one your remote is set to, follow these steps. Unplug the VCR for approximately 10 minutes. If the remote control has a switch labeled TV – VIDEO or TV – VCR – CABLE, make sure this is set to VIDEO or VCR. Also if the remote control has a switch labeled DUET EDIT, ON-OFF, set it to OFF. Once you have plugged the VCR back in and correctly set any of the above-mentioned switches, press the POWER button on the VCR remote. Note; Do not press any other button on any remote until you press POWER on the VCR remote as this would re-confuse the VCR.
