i loved sony pre-1996 when their audio components (at least the es series) were still top notch but man some of their ideas were bonkers

i had a 555es receiver that had this abomination for a remote



thats a resistive touchscreen that was barely legible (tho it had a backlight) and there was a stylus that tucked into the back. it used like 4 aa batteries (or maybe 6? idk)

the step up was the 777es which had this



which had a little joystick to navigate an interface that was just crazy bad

family-owned sony was like pre-1992 daimler mercedes where the engineers ran the show and it was glorious and maddening
