VCR/DVD Punch-Through Feature

This remote lets you Punch-through to the last VCR or DVD device used. Normally other types of remotes only punch-through (from another Mode) on the 6 VCR buttons, to the device programmed under the VCR Mode button. This is not much use if you are using a DVD programmed under a Mode other than VCR. This remote punches-through to the last VCR or DVD device you used. For example, if you have 3 DVD/VCR devices programmed into this remote, the last one you accessed on the remote will be the one that has control of the 6 VCR/DVD buttons when in any other mode.
