Figure 1: MOON 750D 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 750D’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 750D, 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 750D’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.
