well, i do wonder how many remotes have died over the years thanks to exposure to some liquid or other from either a kid or clumsy adult...

Right.

Nothing makes a lady feel more special than when a dude is fiddling with a remote when he should be pouring her champagne.

Has Sony had the same dim-witted remote control designer to the last 20 years? Who, in 2009, designes a remote control with all of the buttons exactly the same size and arranged in a perfect grid?

What a usability nightmare. Sure I can use it in the jacuzzi, but heaven help me if I try to use it in the dark.

I think this is great for the hotel industry, PLEASE soak my remote in sanitizer before my stay, thanks.

When I saw the buttons on this remote, I obsessively had to know what they do. I found a manual for a similar model with the exact same button layout: Sony RM-PZ1SD. After using online translation tools and search, the top 9 buttons seem to be:

audio switch, display, power.
analog, digital, input.
BS, CS, 10-key.

(BS = broadcast satellite, CS = communications satellite.)

Guy #4: The 10 button is also the 0 button. (It actually says "10/0" on it.)

Anonymous #6: The top-left button ("audio switch"?), the 5 button, and the CH+ button have little raised dots on them so you can feel where they are.

this is perfect.

last month I accidentally put my remote through the washing mashing. (I still don't know how I managed that one)

I could use it, I'm into water sports porn.

(Not really, I just had to suggest a use)
