this U4 remote is soo damn hard to use, its not like it was on the T4 you can use it blind folded you actually have to look where your fingers are going now.
e.g. when fast forwarding through recordings, you have to look where the play button is as its the other end of the remote, where the T4 its right next to it and you can go by feel only. quite annoying.
the row of controls up the top with play and that on them need to be at the bottom like the T4 used to be.

Hi Wozzzzza,

You are not alone in you thoughts about the U4 remote control design.

Regards,
Ian.

You should try going back & forth between the U4’s remote & the T2’s remote. Talk about pressing the wrong buttons. :roll:

But I hate to admit it, both remotes have their strong points.

The T3 remote is still my preference.
