Interesting deck. I worked on a LOT of VCR's in the 90's and being Zenith authorized (among many others) I saw a LOT of Zenith's.
That said, I only saw 3 of these 1986 JVC built Zenith model VR1830's during that time. And, not for any extreme problems- one was just a power cord replacement and the others had minor issues like cleaning and alignment.
There was another side-loading model. But, I don't remember the model number.
The flashing '3' has nothing to do with the RF switch on the rear panel. It likely has to do with channel tuning but, for the life of me, I don't remember how to set that function.
Most '86 JVC's have about 3 or 4 problems and, once those are ironed out, become a very high quality 'keeper'. Looks like it, and the remote, are in good shape. Have fun with yours!
