HDX-SSD  Hard  Disk  Player  Introduction

1  HDX-SSD  Hard  Disk  Player  Introduction

The Naim HDX-SSD hard disk player will completely change the way you access and 
listen to your music collection. While the HDX-SSD may look like a CD player and can 
play CDs conventionally, it is intended to operate in a fundamentally different way.

• 

 Rather than reproducing the audio on a CD inserted in its transport, HDX-SSD 

reads and stores the CD data on a network connected hard disk drive for replay 
at any later time. Network stored files can be either audio files ripped from CD or 
compatible audio files created by other means.

• 

 The HDX-SSD operates as a UPnP™ server providing audio files to any UPnP™ 

compatible playback hardware connected on the same network.

• 

 In addition to its conventional analogue or digital audio outputs, the HDX-SSD can 

provide up to six NaimNet/StreamNet network streams for playback in multiple 
remote areas.

• 

 When the HDX-SSD first reads the data from a CD, it automatically accesses 

an internet  music database and downloads the information held for that CD. 
The information can include title, tracks, artist, composer, genre and numerous 
additional details. This can then be used by the HDX-SSD to select or search 
for material and to build custom playlists. The CD cover artwork will also be 
downloaded if available and displayed by the user interface.

• 

 The HDX-SSD is able to operate as a conventional CD player. A CD inserted in the 

drawer can be played immediately with its audio routed to the analogue and digital 
audio outputs. 

The mode of control and operation of your HDX-SSD will depend upon the type of system 
with which it is integrated. These different “user interfaces” are introduced in Section 1.1 
while the touch screen controlled Front Panel Display Interface is described in detail in 
Section 4.

If the HDX-SSD is your first experience of a network connected product you may find 
it worthwhile to read the glossary in Section 9 before moving on to installation and 
operation.

1.1  HDX-SSD  User  Interfaces

Unlike a conventional item of hi-fi equipment, the HDX-
SSD can be operated in a number of different ways using 
a variety of user interfaces. The user interface you use to 
control your HDX-SSD will depend on the type of system in 
which it is installed and the ancillary equipment available. 
The following short paragraphs and table describe each 
user interface.

1.1.1 The Front Panel Display Interface

The HDX-SSD is most conveniently operated via its Front 
Panel Display Interface using either the front panel touch 
screen or the remote handset.

Note:

 The Front Panel Display Interface can also be 

configured to control any StreamNet compliant device 
connected to the network.

1.1.2 The External Display Interface

The HDX-SSD can be operated via its 

External Display 

Interface

 using the supplied 

remote handset

 (or a 

keyboard and/or mouse), in combination with an 
additional external display screen. The screen may be a 
monitor or TV with composite video, S-video or VGA input.

The External Display Interface is closely related to the Front 
Panel Display Interface and similarly provides access to 
HDX-SSD operational and setup features.

1.1.3 The NaimNet/StreamNet Touch Screen Interface

If the HDX-SSD is installed in a NaimNet home network, 
HDX-SSD network audio streams can be controlled 
from the NaimNet/StreamNet Interface. The NaimNet/
StreamNet Interface can be accessed from a StreamNet 
compliant touch screen or a web browser. The interface 
can also control any StreamNet compliant device.

Note:

 The NaimNet/StreamNet Interface is not covered in 

this manual.
