Hi, I am behind so you may already have your answer but hear it goes.
As for an accessible receiver, I don't think you will find one as advanced as the one you are needing which will be accessible. The answer, however, is an accessible remote. Do research on the logitech harmony remote Toll Free Support USA & Canada 1-866 291-1505 I have one and love it. I did have to get a sighted person to help program it but now I can with a choice of several buttons which are macro driven; turn on the A/V receiver, DVD player, HD LCD TV. Or, turn on the A/V receiver and DVD player for music. Or, turn on the A/V receiver, VCR and HD LCD TV. Also the correct inputs are automatic chosen for each device. BTW, My DVD player can play SACD or DVD-A discs, so I have one button which turns on the A/V receiver, the DVD player and selects 6 channel out put. Killer set up. .
