As shown in FIG. 9A, the playback device 902 includes an example control panel 906, with a “play” button, a “volume up” button, and a “volume down” button. Other variations of the control panel 906, with other functional buttons are also possible. Also shown in FIG. 9A is an example user 908 approaching the playback device 902. The approach of the user 908 may be detected by the proximity sensing abilities 904 of the playback device 902. In one example, as indicated previously, the playback device 902 may include one or more sensors implemented and configured to detect movement relative to the playback device 902. For instance, the one or more sensors may be configured to detect an approach of the user 908 toward the playback device 902. In one case, the one or more sensors may be configured to specifically detect movements in relation to a particular part of the playback device 902, such as the control panel 906. In this case, the proximity sensing abilities 904 of the play back device 902 may detect an approach of the user 908 toward the control panel 906.
