Have the remote tested, it can be done easily without the unit, also most digital cameras in a very very dark room can be used--point remote at camera (with it on) and press buttons, you should see a tiny flash on the display screen of the camera.
If the remote tests good the remote receiver in the unit it operates may be bad.
Attached is a typical receiver, yours may not have the metal bracket and the item in the picture is actually less than 1/2 inch tall.
Hello, I don't know if you ever found the solution for the remote not being recognized by the recorder, but I have the same unit & on it you can set it to work with 3 remote IR settings - 1,2 or 3. You can change the remote settings by pressing the DVD Recorder power button (on the remote) along with 1, 2, or 3 according to the way the recorder is setup currently. Once you get it setup you can find the different code settins under "action." Hope this helps.

My remote is not working. When I press a button, I get the following message on my unit: U12, U30, SET #, CHK REMOTE #, or RC #. What can I do to fix this? The message displayed means that the remote control and unit are not communicating and the remote needs to be programmed. To program the remote, press and hold the same number that is displaying on the unit and the [ENTER] or [OK] button for more than 2 seconds. For example, if the unit displays “SET 2”, press and hold [2] and [ENTER] or [OK] for more than 2 seconds.

That would seem to be a error code, if remote working that is either a mechanical or circuit problem--maybe time t o have the unit looked at.
