I moved this post from the Amateur section. The VR-120D is a receiver. Hopefully more people will see the post here and someone can help.

I don't have one but I did have a look at the VR120 Commander website. I noticed that it says
"Currently, only the US version of the VR-120 is supported. " Could the problem be yours is not a US version?

I am only guessing.
