CD Player Control and Operation
19 CD Player Control and operation
The operation and control of all naim CD players is based on a common user interface.
This section of the manual describes the user interface, drawing attention to differences
between players where they occur.
The CD player control buttons are duplicated on the remote control handset which may
also provide some extra functions. The handset also provides CD programming facilities.
see sections 20 and 21 for more information.
