The AudioTron front panel includes buttons for the basic play/skip/stop/etc.
controls, options control, as well as a Group songs feature. The included
remote control pretty much covers all the main functions as well as a large
menu of favorites and presets. Probably the most effective way of configuring
the AudioTron is thru the bundled software Web Server application. This way,
you can queue songs/stations, manage your preferences, playlists, clock 
settings, etc. from your computer screen instead of having to work things 
out on a small LCD screen. 

      There are also some cool 3rd party Utilities & programs written
      by AudioTron owners, available from Stan's Web Site:

The unit's rear panel includes audio output for both analogue (RCA) as well as
a digital (S/PDIF) output. (There's also a headphone jack on the front of the
unit). The AudioTron gives you some flexibility when it comes to your network
connection, offering both ethernet and phone line (HPNA 2.0) ports. Although,
you might have some buffering issues with streaming media on a phone line.

Where cabling is not an option, it will also function in a Wireless network 
so long as you have an Ethernet to Wireless Bridge.
