>All these years I have wished for an audio video receiver that is
>accessible.  I've owned a couple of them and in both cases I needed sighted
>help each time I wanted to set them up or make changes.  Well, for the most
>part there finally are several as follows from Denon Electronics.  They
>didn't set out to make them accessible but they for the most part are.  They
>range from the lowest priced Denon X1000 and include the X2000, X3000 and
>the X4000.  At this point I should mention that for them to be accessible
>you will need an internet connection.  The receiver must be connected to
>your router or your network using Ethernet cable otherwise known as CAT5.
>This will allow you to connect their web interface and this is where it
>becomes accessible.  You can even turn the receiver on/off and raise and
>lower the volume.  You can change channels as well as change from any of
>many different program sources.  The receiver supports Pandora, Spotify(if
>you have a premium account), and Sirius XM which requires an account.  Only
>Pandora will work on the free trial account.  The receiver also boasts phono
>jacks for those of us who like to listen their vynil collection.  Of course
>using the web interface you can make changes to the receivers many settings
>including setting up the speakers using the supplied microphone.  I really
>can't stop saying great things about it.

>There may be other companies who have the same type of accessible web
>interface but the only one I've checked out is the Denon X4000.  A friend of
>mine has the X3000 and is enjoying his as well.  I should also point out the
>the supplied remote is also pretty user friendly.  If you've ever wanted an
>accessible AV receiver than this might be the one for you with 4 units
>ranging widely in price.  I am using JAWS for Windows version 15 but I would
>expect good results with other screen readers.
