Thanks. Yeah I saw the original manuals, but like I said, they seem to be missing pages...as you found out :D

I remember coming across those pages you posted, but after hours of staring at remote numbers over several days, I guess I didn't think to look closely at the bit that gives the alternate original vcr's they came with!

Thanks for the reminder, I checked out some of the US manuals listed and the setup procedure/codes worked! I wish at least one button on the remote would pop-up the channel info, but oh well, channel/vol/power/av is good enough for now!

thank you again.
