Abstract: The present invention provides for a simplified remote control device for use by small children and others without supervision or assistance. Each button of a remote control device may be programmed to correspond to a specific track or chapter of a DVD or to a specific channel for a television. A menu card that slides in and out of a slot behind the remote control unit's buttons may be utilized to change the appearance of the remote control unit, such that the appearance may be tailored to the content of specific DVDs and the like. Other embodiments of the present invention provide for a simplified remote control device that may be used by seniors, or used by personnel in specialized settings such as sports bars.
