Page 1 of JVC XV-S302, remote hack, help appreciated

This is how far I´ve gotten:

Unplug.
Hold down open/close and play.
Plug.
Release open/close and play.
Press menu.
Press 9.

What I get then is a screen which reads 0070 FFFF.
The numbers can be changed by clicking on 9 again, but I haven´t got a clue on what they mean and what happens after that.

I discovered the same but there seemed to be an underlying pattern.

I started by pressing 5 then repeatedly pressed 9 which caused the first set of four digits to increment by 1 between hex values 70 and FF. The second set of four digits remain mostly 0000 but every so often they change to:
00B0 00C8
00B2 FF37
00B9 0602
00BA 050E
00BB 0500
00BC 00FF
00BD B892
00BE 0001
00BF 0302
00C0 010B
00C1 0003
00C2 00FF
00C3 B698

The link between the first and second set of four digits is not fixed but the pattern in the second column remains intact.
Anyone clever enough to work out the significance of all this?

Ever notice that the 3d-phonic button causes the DTS display light on the player to go on and that pressing the 3d-button again doesn`t turn it off after that? could this be a "save" function? haven`t tried it yet but you could try it after every single digit set, then reset...

This seems to be a difficult player to hack. If you discover the full hack instructions help would be appreciated.

you can rent an upgrade tool

which is what, and where from?
