How would I navigate?

I'm looking at the Onkyo TX-NR515 Receiver shown here:

http://www.us.onkyo.com/prod_class.cfm?class=Receiver&Source=hdrmenu

It has a front USB port for ipod and iphone and I'm assuming this port would also work for generic external drives(?)

If so, how would I navigate through folders on the drive and make selections?

The remote control doesn't have a screen and the front panel doesn't look capable.

Would I have to have some sort of mp3 player with a display attached to the drive? Recommendations? (anything but ipod!)

Thanks - rev

I don't know the specific unit in question, so I'm just guessing here...

I'd guess that the front panel will display the info - maybe inelegantly, but it will probably be there. Also, AVRs generally operate on the assumption that there's a monitor attached, so the info will likely go to the monitor, as well. If you're using this for music only, you might pick up a small monitor just for this purpose.

Good Luck
