Vcr now pseudo-discrete also.. odd had to change setup codes

Its a Panny PV-9446, was using setup code 1062, where the EFC 016 did not work, changed to 0162, and EFC 016 now works as discrete on.

thanx for all your help, hopefully jp1 gets here soon, and i can start defining and nesting macros

VCR/1062, 1162, 1262, etc are all "combo" codes that do not accept advanced codes. These setup codes all combine VCR/0162 and VCR/0454 (and occassionally TV/0250 also). So it's totally normal to have to temporarily switch to TVR/0162 or 0454 to program an advanced code, then switch back to the main setup code.
