Bill: I'd hate for her to not use that nice system. Why don't you try making large print labels, Braille labels or come up with your own raised dot system for the controls? I don't know what the buttons are like on that system. If they are small, that might be a little difficult. If they are large, then that will make labeling them a little easier. These solutions are very inexpensive. These solutions probably wouldn't work for the remote due to its size. If I knew exactly what system she owned, perhaps I could come up with a better solution. If you can get me the specific model, the next time I'm at Best Buy or some store like that, I'll take a look at it to see if there is anything that can be done. Hope this helps. Have a nice weekend. ________________________________________________ Terry A.
