the rear input connectors, make sure that there is nothing connected to the front connectors. (HR-J420U only)

To control two JVC VCRs

The remote control is capable of controlling two JVC VCRs

independently using the A/B CODE switch (_::_'p.7).You can set this VCR so that it responds to the remote control only when the switch is in the "B" position and set another JVC VCR so that it

responds only when the switch is in the "A" position. This way you can control two JVC VCRs independently with a single

remote control. The A/B CODE switch is preset to the "A" position because your

VCR is initially set to respond to A code signals. You can easily modify your VCR to respond to B code signals.

[] Unplug the VCR's power cord from the AC outlet. [] Set the A/B CODE switch on the remote control unit to "B".

[] Plug the VCR's power cord back into the AC outlet. Do not
