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?

Purchase a home theater master remote for $300 on the internet. It will solve all your problems. I have one remote with amazing buttons, backlighting, full programability w. macros and works all over the house as it is both IR & RF bassed. You will love it.
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.
