Remote not connecting to old DC50x box on old Panasonic 1980's TV

I have an old TV with an old box on top (I think it's a DC50x).  The box works fine and the remote did too, but recently it no longer connects to the box.  It will turn the TV on and off and change the volume on the TV, so it connects to the TV, but it won't change the channel on the box. the remote is an old XR2. Do you know how I can connect them again?  Thanks!

... it won't change the channel on the box. ...

Try:

  1. Unplugging the box for a minute or so
  2. Changing the batteries in the remote
  3. Replacing the remote
  4. Replacing the box
