Also, this remote has no JP1 connector, though apparently it does have
JP1 pins.

If I recall correctly, when I set the units on a dark surface without
too much light in the room, it went easier.  Maybe experiment with
distances between the keyboard and the remote, or maybe angles. 

One other thing -- there appears to be a limit to the number of keys it
can learn from the keyboard, but it's enough for me.
