The playback controls should be mostly familiar to anyone who's got a portable CD player. The button functions from left to right are DOOR OPEN, DIR/REC (to choose Directory playback mode, or RECORDING mode) PLAY/MODE (for choosing various playback modes, such as ALL/DIR/RANDOM/PROGRAM/DIR PROGRAM) REP/ENTER (to repeat play a song, or as the ENTER button during programming) SKIP BACKWARD, SKIP FORWARD, STOP, PLAY/PAUSE. Below and on the front is a SOUND button that toggles through 5 pre-programmed EQ settings.

The LCD display is rather basic, showing the playback mode (MP3 or CD), track playing, playback type (ALL, INTRO, RANDOM, DIR, DIR PROG, PROG), battery charge status, and track/time information. You wont find any display of song titles, and there is no support for the ubiquitous ID3 song title tag.

The left side simply shows the plug-in for the AC Power brick/charger.

On the right side, you'll find the volume control, input jacks for the headphones, and microphone (for recording mode) and a switch to select either playback or recording mode.

In the rear is where you'll find the unit's line-out jack. Used with the mini-stereo to RCA patch cord included with the unit, you can connect the player to your home stereo, or any other source that will accept RCA stereo inputs.
