Anthem userfriendlyness?

By this title, I don't mean to know if it is easy to use by yourself but by other family members like your wife and your children ( no not your toddlers!)

So, is it easy to master (well, use it) for them?

Can you give me an example of why you ask this? My standard is my wife's acceptance of a device and, frankly, she has had no problem with any of the AVRs or prepros (including the Anthem) that I have had. The only things I have to do are (1) do the programming/setup in advance and (2) indicate to her which remote is relevant.

  Since I'm not always home, they cannot wait for me to watch movies or listen to music. I still have my defective (for surround) b&K and sometimes they don't know how to use it. when they get confused, they will push any button until something happens. Sometimes it ends by them turning off the processor.

    They cannot discern the ON/OFF, input selection and volume buttons? If so, nothing will suit them.
    
    Gee whiz, I didn't really appreciate my wife's capabilities in this sphere before. ;-)

      They know the on/off button. Sometimes they manage, sometimes they don't, (after messing everything, they will turn it off).

        I am sympathetic but that issue is relevant to any control device. My point is that the Anthem RC is no more difficult than any other AVR RC.

        I agree with you kal . I've just saw a big picture of an Anthem processor. Many buttons, but it has a logical layout. Everything is separated in smaller groups.
        
        With an Harmony remote, it should be easy to use.
