player utilizes a unique graphical user interface which works in 

conjunction with the capacitive touch pad interface.  Instead of using a traditional “home”

strip or as a digital book shelf, with the various features organized in a horizontal manner as 

shown below: 

 

Each of the 8 basic features always appears in the order as shown: 

1.
