I think what he meant is for the times that they want do do slightly more involved things or multiple thinngs at the same time... i.e. record from the CamCorder to VHS, or rewind an audio tape without interupting the movie.

I added an entire Help section to the Pronto. Each page has a description for what the buttons do, and the home page help screen describes the basics of the remote and has a section on recording. check it out!

P.S. Yes it was way more work than it was worth, But it was for a friend of mine, so I incorporate it into the rest of my systems with some minor tweaking.
