Hmm, I don't know yet and it will be at least 2 weeks before I can get home to set the remote up for my mother (unless my dad decides to try and tackle it). I don't know the model of the VCR. I was hoping some one would know what device code would work with a particular model of a component and be able to give me that code and the advanced codes I'll be looking for.

Gut feeling tells me though that I won't find most of what I'am looking for. Starbase doens't list any descrete on/off codes for any of the JVC vcr device codes and the other components I've mentioned aren't listed there at all.

I guess I won't be able to make the remote operation completely idiot proof for my mother, but I still should be able to significantly reduce the complexity of operating the ht with its current 3 remotes.
