Your remote is from when Zenith sold JVC built VCR's. It will
run almost any Zenith TV IR remote. Uses a J type battery. Millions
are out there as a Zenith VCR comes with one also.
The A1926W is non remote. Zenith remote model would start with "S".
IIRC the comparable remote to yours is SA1927W. You cant add
remote, it takes a LOT more than an IR detector.
