Front Panel Controls

Figure 1: Nēo 260D Front panel

The front panel will look similar to Figure 1 (above).

The large digital display window indicates the track

number of the compact disc currently playing (or the

total number of tracks in stop mode) and
corresponding time information. For units equipped

with the

optional 32-bit DAC

, the display will indicate

the selected digital input (“D1” thru “D4”) and the

corresponding sampling frequency in kHz (“44.1”

thru “192.0”) of the source material currently being
played.

The “Standby” button disengages all internal

circuitry from the power supply, except for the

controller circuit and the IR receiver. The blue

indicator LED turns off when the Nēo 260D is in
“Standby” mode. The 260D will automatically go

into standby mode after approximately 20 minutes

of inactivity. However, you can disable this

automatic standby

feature by pressing and holding

the “Program” button for two seconds until “0 EuP”

appears in the display window. To revert back to the
default mode, simply repeat this operation; press

and hold the “Program” button for two seconds until

appears “1 EuP” in the display window.

The “Program” button allows you to program a

selection of tracks to play in any desired order. After
loading a compact disc into the Nēo 260D, select

the first track you wish to listen to, using the  or


buttons and then press “Program”. To program a

second track, select it the same way you did for the

first one and press “Program” again. Repeat this

operation as many times as you want to program
tracks to a maximum of 30 tracks. Once you’ve

completed programming your track selection(s), the

digital display window will show the number of

tracks that have been programmed and their total

time. To begin playing your programmed selections,

simply press the X button. Pressing „ will only
suspend the playing of the programmed selection.

Pressing „ a second time will clear your program

selection from the 260D’s memory. As well,
opening the top drawer at any time will also clear

your program. After you begin creating your

program list, the LED immediately to the left of the

“Program” button will illuminate and remain on until

you clear your program from memory.

The “Display” button allows you to turn the digital

display on and off.

Pressing the “Repeat” button once results in the

entire disc being played again once it has reached
the end of the final track. Pressing “Repeat” a

second time will result in the track currently playing

being repeated again once it has ended. To cancel

this mode, simply press the “Repeat” button a third

time or open the CD drawer. There are two (2)

LED’s located to the left of the “Repeat” button; The
top one will illuminate when the current track is

being repeated and both will illuminate when the

entire disc is being repeated. If you have created a

program of selected tracks, pressing “Repeat” once

will result in your entire program repeating itself

once it has completed its cycle; Pressing “Repeat” a
second time will result in the current track from your

program being played again once it has ended;

Pressing “Repeat” a third time will terminate the

“Repeat” mode.
