Ashley:

Thanks for the changes...  I have updated the code:

(1) It will now accept either vendor/model ID.   There must be different 
versions of the Moto 6200 out there. 

(2) I have change the code to use the AV/C command you suggested.   I 
don't have the problem with changing to channels that end with zero but 
your code works just as well for my unit.

This should help make this code a little more device independent.

Best Regards,

-stacey.
