- Description of the remote
Recording programs on a VCR has been a complex if not
impossible task. The VCRPRO 8 allows you to easily tape your favorite
movies and shows when you're away. A few simple steps allow you to program future shows in
seconds. Just enter the date, time, channel and length of the program -- right into the remote!
The VCRPRO 8 is also an outstanding universal remote designed to eliminate the clutter of
up to eight seperate remotes.
Since the VCRPRO 8 is preprogrammed, it already knows how to operate your electronic
devices. This not only insures easy setup, but makes it a perfect replacement for lost or broken
remotes.
The VCRPRO 8 is clearly the perfect solution for anyone fed up with the complexity of
programming a VCR and searching through a pile of remotes.

- Fixing Worn Out Buttons:
If a button stops working due to over use, it is possible to fix it. There is a product
that you can get from most auto part stores made by Loctite called "Quick Grid Rear Window
Defogger Repair Kit". It is a conductive fluid usually used to fix rear window defrosters
in cars. To fix your remote, open up the casing and paint the fluid on the base of the
buttons that are not working effectively, et it dry, and it should work again, good as new!
