The optional iPod docking station allows for direct playback and control of iPod devices.
The system offers a user-friendly interface with both touch buttons on the main unit and a comprehensive remote control. The touch buttons on the main unit are designed for easy operation, with precautions provided for their use, such as using clean, dry hands and avoiding excessive force.

The last scene memory feature recalls the last viewed scene of a DVD, even after removing the disc or turning off the unit.
