If you stick within almost any major product line for both the receiver and DVD player, you often can use a proprietary lin (Denon, Pioneer) and easily connect the two together and control them with a single remote easily. If it is just the remote issue, look into the Harmony universals, they truly can make a difficult system easy to use. My family can use my reference system without ever calling me since I got one, and my system would be almost impossible for even my to remember all the intricacies of without it!
DVD / 5 channel receiver combo
I'm looking to put together a home theater system for a friend of my parents and was hoping to find a combination DVD player / 5 channel receiver. The issue is that she's technologically challenged, and just having one remote with one "box" to turn on would be much easier for her to deal with. Hoping to stay away from HTIB though. I know NAD has one, but it is only a 2 channel receiver; the Linn is too expensive. Not asking for much, am I??? LOL
Any suggestions would be apppreciated.
Thanks, Erik
