Worst remote nomination...

I wish to nominate the remote to my Wadia 861xi CDP as the worst of a large number of remotes I have lying around the house. The little buttons are irrationally located, have obscure labels, and need to be pushed just so to get them to work. On top of that, it practically takes a sniper scope to get it pointed so it will operate the player from just ten feet away. What were they thinking?

Sorry, just had to vent.

Anyone else have remotes they love to hate?

The remote on my Onkyo DVD player is abysmal.

I recently auditioned the Muse UDP and its remote is ridiculous. About 50 tiny buttons, all the same size.

Interesting to see the old odometer slowly rack up on this thread. I hope the manufacturers are reading it...The remotes you love to hate.

Mezmo, I too have the laptop sized Meridian "System" remote for only my 588 CD player. Have you found any suitable replacement remote that will work?

Pass Lab X-1 Pre-amp. Small metalic remote and 4 buttons with no word/symbol...nothing.

Afx, nope. Pretty much quit looking. Word has it that Meridian intially had a seperate remote for the older 508 / 506 series players which was more managable and appropriately sized (and someone was even kind enough to send me a picture), but I never managed to track one down -- and I'm not positive it would work with your newer version, anyway. Alas. I've begrudgingly gotten used to my lovely "console."
