Re: JVC service or questions

Hi Ms. Sample,
Can help with the following?
The remote control for the JVC DR-MV1S (dvd/vhs recorder)is supposed to be able to be able to control even non-JVC devices that might be hooked up to the unit. The manual gives instructions and listings of different vendors and their corresponding "control code" for each vendor's devices. For both my cable box (1 yr old) and my TV (5 yrs old), the codes don't seem to work. I'd at least expect the newer cable box code to work, but no-go. Additionally, as recommended, i punched in all vendor codes in an attempt to get my devices to respond, still no go. That leaves the possibility that the instructions might be faulty. For instance, the instructions say "keep pressing down Setup (while pressing down the number keys to enter control codes)". It seems to suggest doing this even when pressing the Enter key, though that seems a bit counter-intuitive considering how the unit works in every other aspect/mode. I've tried changing the sequence of key-presses accordingly, but maybe there's something else along these lines that I haven't tried?

thanks in advance
