i would like a nice remote control that is not too hard to understand.
not too sure what you mean with "hard to understand." if you mean set-up or use
are there remote controls that display text, cause my Sony 300 Disc Changer has text and I would like it displayed on the remote so i can easily view it.
The best one for CD changers (at least in my opinion) is one of the remotes in the Pronto family
(Philips Pronto, ProntoPro, Marantz 5200, 9200, Onkyo Chad, Yamaha Rav2000)
it will not read the info off your Sony changer, but you can create an index on it for disk and tracks if you want. There is a review of the ProntoPro and the Pronto TSU2000.

this is not easy to do, and to get something good takes time.
But I do think it is the only remote that will be able to give you the list functionality on the CD changer
