A kinder, gentler VCR

Article Abstract:

Most video cassette recorders (VCR) are hard to operate. Numerous VCR owners attest to the difficulty in setting the VCR clock and in manipulating the control buttons. Most users believe that the machine could be enhanced by simplifying its operations. For instance, the merging of the stop, rewind and eject buttons into a single button, the usage of multi-shaped color-coded buttons, the installation of an LCD status indicator and the automation of the rewind and eject functions can very well eliminate the difficulties encountered by most VCR owners.
