I am not so sure it's just women in this case. Most people I know have trouble operating any (sufficiently interesting) theater system they did not set up. My girfriend was fine with it once I showed her how to change inputs and what everything was plugged into.

Now, if after repeated instruction they are still hopeless (and you don't want to cough up the dough for one of these) then type up a little crib-sheet and leave it on the coffee table.
