4 The Front Panel Display Interface
As introduced in Section 1.1, the HDX can be controlled via a number of different
interfaces. This section covers the Front Panel Display Interface.
The Front Panel Display Interface is a graphical touch screen interface based on
navigation around pages and selection of icons. The emphasis in this section is on the use
of the interface via the touch screen although the supplied remote handset can also be
used. The handset can also be used to operate Naim preamplifiers, integrated amplifiers
and CD players.
The following paragraphs and illustrations describe how the Front Panel Display Interface
is used to access some of the most frequently used HDX functions. Other functions can
be accessed by following the same principles of interface navigation and selection. A
navigation diagram showing the top levels of the interface can be found in Section 8. The
remote handset is illustrated and its functions described in Section 4.9.
