NAC-N 172 XS Operation
3 NAC-N 172 XS Operation
The NAC-N 172 XS can be operated from either its front panel controls, from the supplied
remote control handset or via the n-Stream iPhone and iPad app. Setting up and
operating a NAC-N 172 XS involves navigation through a menu-based user interface. The
general principles of the interface are carried across each NAC-N 172 XS element so this
section of the manual describes and illustrates those general principles.
