Front Panel Controls

Figure 1: MOON 650D 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.

The “Standby” button disengages the transport
mechanism from the rest of the 650D’s circuitry

and turns off the digital display. However, when in

“Standby” mode, all digital and analog audio

circuitry remains powered up to help maintain

optimal performance. The blue pilot LED centrally

located above the display window will no longer be
illuminated when the player is in “Standby” mode.

The “Program” button allows you to program a

selection of tracks in the order that you wish to

listen them. After loading a compact disc into the

650D, 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

650D’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 adjust the

brightness of the large digital display window. It also

provides you with the option of turning off the
display. There are three (3) different levels of

brightness; The default is medium.

Pressing the

“Display” button once will increase the brightness

level to highest setting. Pressing the button a

second time will decrease the brightness to the

lowest setting. Pressing the “Display” button a third
time returns the display to its default setting of

medium.

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.
