You don't say how old your kid is, but a couple of things strike me.
First, I personally don't allow my kids to touch my stereo equipment
until they reach teenage years. Then, the instructions for use are
accompanied with "you're old enough to earn money to replace anything
here you break. Please use it carefully". That works. Get them their
own stuff, cheap stuff at first. Tell them if they break their stuff,
it won't be replaced. That works too.

Secondly, figuring that the world has too many unsocial couch potatos,
I tried not to add to that population. I never looked at using a remote
as a skill I wanted to encourage. Get him/her a ball instead, teach them
how to use it. Best would be a ball for a game you need someone else to
play with.

If you want to expose them to music, do so but you or your fellow
parent should turn it on and off. I'd make the technology NOT a part of
the experience. That way, you'll know whether they like to listen or
not. 

The good thing about parenting - you can do it how you like, but the
problem is that the consequences of screwing it up are pretty serious.

Good luck.
