An optimized layout of 57 programmable buttons enables easy access to every system function. Buttons are clearly labeled for power, volume, mute, channel selection, onscreen menu navigation, transport control, alphanumeric keypad, and navigating the LCD screen. Electroluminescent blue button backlighting creates an alluring appearance while facilitating control in a darkened room.
