Programmed Play Operation
The HD 970’s advanced programming capability
enables you to select certain tracks, to preset the
order in which these tracks play, and to clear
specific programmed tracks after the program
was made.
Programmed Play
Programmed play allows you to program up to
32 tracks into the HD 970’s memory. To begin
programming the CD player, make sure that the
unit is in Stop mode, then press the Program
button

the Information Display 1, the number
001
will blink below the Program indicator,
showing the track number selected, and
PROG-01: 001
will appear in the
Information Display, replacing the track time.
This indicates that you are about to program the
first track.
You may now begin to enter the tracks in the
order in which you wish to have them play. To
select a track on the disc, press the Numeric
buttons
2 corresponding to the desired track,
be certain to enter the second and/or third num-
ber of two- or three-digit numbers within two
seconds after the first number was entered. You
may also use the Skip buttons 7 8

select a track. When the track is selected, press
the Program button
3. Note that the
program-step indication on the right side of
the Information Display will change to
PROG-02: 001
.
You may now select another track for the next
program step, following the instruction shown
above. When the track is selected, press the
Program button

dure for each program step until you have com-
pleted the desired programming. Press the Stop
button 6
A once to complete a program
sequence, or press Play 4 9 to begin
immediate play of a program sequence. If the
maximum of 99 program steps is reached, the
program-step indication at the right side of the
Information Display will go out, and the disc and
track that have been programmed as the first
program step will be shown.
