Yep, this is an annoyance! Can't tell you how many times I went to navigate the menu just to stop the DVD. While ramdonly pressing keys I discovered that four of the round buttons controlled the navigation, I didn't like the way they were set up so I reprogammed them. It took some time but I finally go for these round buttons instead of the arrows. Why didn't I just reprogram the arrow buttons? Because my wife and daughter also use this remote and the arrow keys are labeled with their function and they "read" the labels on the keys.
