MDCF's A Guide To Sony LCD Remotes

Honestly, i have absolutely NO CLUE where this fits in the subforums, so the logical answer is to put it in the off topic section. so let's get this started; i know there are more remotes (dating pre 1999-ish-ish..) than the ones listed, and if those remotes i missed should desperately need to be here, don't hesitate to contribute! thanks! ---> please continue discussion here.
