that is a good point Arwing! My VCR is annoying because you can accidentally turn on the on screen display with the remote, but then you can easily lose the remote and so you are stuck with an irritating OSD on the screen showing the tape counter! My TV remote is the same, settings etc need to be adjusted with the remote, only the channel and volume can be adjusted on the set itself.
At least DVDs have subtitles unlike VHS. And I hate losing the controllers because when I do it takes me several minutes just to start playing something on my TV.
sometimes Video Cassette Tapes can have subtitles built into them (well at least the ones 1999 and after, though some TVs might have code built in for older tapes), I do recall watching a VHS tape of Lion King: Special Edition and it did have subtitles. But then again VHS is no longer supported so. But yea they definitively need to add those buttons on their DVD sets.
Then Kinect is for you.

@ArwingPilot Slow is used for a frame by frame analysis of the DVD or VHS. That why they put it there.
I highly agree that they should put an up down left right button on DVD players, such as the one in the family room of my house.

YOU ARE SO RIGHT!
I'm happy I'm not the only one with this problem.... I hear just fine, but I prefer subtitles... I think any gamer does.

True, but the problem with some of those games is that the letters can be the size of an ant, and that discriminates the slightly visually-impared.

Yeah, it's also annoying when the remote dies! If you have no batteries and have no money to get 'em, your screwed!
