The white-on-black LCD display presents the user with a large amount of
information in a small space. With graphical support for scrolling text, icons, and
bargraphs, the APAD delivers an ideal user interface for controlling audio and a
range of other possible functions throughout the home or office. Four "softkey"
buttons beneath the display permit intuitive menu navigation and function selection.
Nav Wheel
The APAD's navigation wheel (Nav Wheel) enabl es easy navigation of menus,
scrolling through lists of items and/or functions, and adjusting values that appear on
the display. The built-in "key click" feature audibly enhances the Nav Wheel's
natural feel, and the “soft” button to the right quickly executes the desired selection
set by the Nav Wheel. A dedicated, programmable power button is also included for
fast, easy power on/off control of system devices.
Backlit Buttons
The buttons on the APAD are translucent with adjustable white LED backlighting
for a luxurious, luminous appearance and easy operation under low lighting
conditions.
