The buttons needn't have Watch and Listen on them.
They can merely have a longer, thicker bar that lights
up when the "Light" button is pushed. Watch and Listen
aren't always used as "Watch" and "Listen".
Anything but Watch and Listen. It is too restrictive.
I would even put one long bar with the word MAIN in the
center and something like the little bar that you see
for the Page buttons on each side to push for the Left
Main and the Right Main, but you only see what each one
is by the label at the top of the remote.
I'm not sure that it is that intuitive, but there has
to be something better than Watch and Listen.
Frankly, a single MAIN button worked just fine for me
on the MX-500 to MX-850, and then use the Page buttons
to move to the next Main page.
Thoughts?
I agree 100%. I think the Watch/Listen forces the end user to have push extra buttons unnecessarily.
Because we are now forced to use the watch/listen pages I put the same buttons/labels/macros on both the watch/listen page with the exception of a few minor differences on page 3 of the watch/listen page. That way it doesn't matter what activity my wife pushes. She will be able to get to what she wants to do whehter or not she pushes watch or listen.
