Default DVD player for seniors

Hello!

I am looking for a DVD player for a senior.
It has to be an easy to use player which big buttons to push and a remote, which is readable for a senior wearing glasses.

Has somebody seen such a kind of player?

DVD players are for all ages. Why are they going to push it manually when it has a remote control that comes with it?

Do you know what you are talking about?

Yes, I know what I am talking about- I think you not really.

I am looking for DVD player with big buttons on the remote and on the player.
Maybe you do not know, but there a phones and supply for seniors available which help them for their special needs (like having big letters on the buttons and flashlight if someone calls and the senior does not hear the bell).

Here is such a phone for seniors:


And in this case our grand parents have bad eyes and are wearing thick glasses.
If you are over 70 years old, you forget were you put the remote and need to use the player manually. So the buttons on the player have to have big letters like the ones on the remote.

Ever seen such a DVD player?

Well all dvd players seem to have the smaller remotes but what you can do is buy a universal remote with the big numbers...I know brookstone carry them...maybe that's what you can use...we got that for my great aunt and she loves it.
