The CS510 looks like a throwback to an earlier era, before glossy black supplanted silver as the preferred color of home electronics. Head-on, the CS510 is boxy and looks like it would be more at home mounted in a hidden equipment rack than on display in a home theater. The brushed-metal look may not be the most attractive, but it gives the receiver the appearance of having solid build quality. To the far left, there’s a hard-power on/off switch; if you turn it off, the CS510 won’t turn on when you hit the power button on the remote. In the center of the unit is the LED display and further right is a USB port. Note that there are no front-panel controls, so you have to use the remote to control the CS510.

The remote is a little below average, but it’s passable. The biggest misstep is placement of the Play, Stop, Fast-forward, and Rewind controls at the bottom of the remote–far from the central navigational pad–so we were constantly moving the remote around in our hand. We did appreciate the dedicated volume and page up/down rockers, but once we got into the user interface, we noticed that the page up/down function didn’t actually work, it just moved one item down instead of skipping a whole page. Of course, you can replace the included clicker with a good universal remote, but that still probably won’t solve the page up/down issue.
