Blind Person Needs a New FM Receiver

I need advice. My grandfather is 85 years old, is blind, and needs a new FM receiver, but can't find something that meets his special needs. His old FM receiver, a Yamaha KR 1000, finally bit the dust. He is looking for a new self contained integrated unit that he can examine, if possible, that has the following features: high definition FM tuner, CDP, push button controls - no LCD because he can't see the display, amp and pre-amp in the same unit of course.

Your advice is greatly appreciated!!! Thanks.

I like my trio, however not for a blind person. The remote is impossible to use in the dark because all of the buttons are identical. You have to use the remote for certain functions as well.
Have you looked at the NAD or Rotel. It could be a dvd receiver, couln't it?
The little denon units work well too. I put one in an elderly friends house and she was quite pleased with how simple it was.
