I could imagine several reasons, like programming the VCR using some known language instead of endlessly pushing those stupid tiny buttons with hieroglyphs (which can no way resemble a decent icon)... and having Bowman's button (sound off, in this case) just a click away, and having things like "FF 15 sec", "FF 30 sec", "FF 2 min" etc handy :) Really, are things like that feasible with a VCR controller card?
