I understand your problems getting others, or
even yourself, to understand such a potentially complicated remote. I've had the same problems
getting my "significant other" to understand the
remotes.

My solution, albeit an obvious one, is to print
out what each button does on a computer, cut and
paste this information on the back of the remote,
and anywhere you can on it. Also include the
instructions on how to operate the tv. Cover the
paper with transparent Mac-Tac.
