Thanks to Owner-Manuals.com! This manual was exactly what I needed. As Amana was purchased by Maytag and later by Whirlpool, there was no way to receive it from their websites. I was lucky to find this resource.
A comprehensive Operating and Service Manual. All schematics are complete and easy to read. The PCB drawings and complete parts list are very helpful. I would definitely recommend this manual.

Try it out. The Channel and VCR buttons on the remote should now operate the VCR. Remember, if this doesn't work the first time, repeat steps using the same remote code number. If after a second try the remote does not operate your VCR, and there are more code numbers listed for your brand VCR, use the next listed code number. If after repeated attempts the code number method does not work your VCR, try the "VCR SEARCH" method on page 40.
