Now I understand the problem begins with JVC's remote code signal system. I did in fact know about the OFA 8820 taking 5 digit codes but I must have made a mistake somehow. I had figured out with enough patience and some questions on this site that I would get it right.
However, once I realized it would not do the macros, for me that made the MX-500 a remote I did not want to keep.
So I guess it boils down to the question:
If you buy a remote like this and find out it does not work with your equipment, should you be stuck with it or a healthy restocking fee?
Or should a manufacturer like URC and their dealer like BlueDo realize this and accept returns in this case. Or even better, shouldn't URC or Bluedo warn you in advance to owners of JVC TV's that this unit will not work with macros.
For me I bought this remote from BlueDo and they did absolutely nothing in my opinioin to help me except maybe read to themselves their own return policy.
