Operation - The Local Inter face
4 The Local Interface
As introduced in Section 1, the Local Interface can be accessed by a number of different
means - TV/video monitor with the supplied remote handset or a keyboard/mouse, or a
touch screen.
The Local Interface is a graphical interface based on navigation around pages and
selection of command icons. The emphasis in this section is on the use of the interface via
the supplied remote handset in combination with a TV/video display. The Local Interface
is however functionally identical when presented on a suitable touch screen. The handset
can also be used to operate Naim preamplifiers, integrated amplifiers and CD players.
The following paragraphs and illustrations first describe the handset functions and then
demonstrate how the Local Interface is used to access some of the most often used music
server functions. Other functions can be accessed by following the same principles of
interface navigation and selection. A navigation diagram showing the top levels of the
interface can be found in Section 4.12
