I have to ask the obvious - do you have a remote definition called
"JVC_RAW" in your ledxmit.conf remote control configuration file?

The above command is trying to send the button named "2" from the
remote defintion called "JVC_RAW". I'm not sure whether irsend will
error out if it cannot find it.
