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 3. The PROGRAM indicator will light in the Information Display 1, the number
001will 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 2corresponding 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 787to 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 3again. Repeat this proce- dure for each program step until you have com- pleted the desired programming. Press the Stop button 6Aonce to complete a program sequence, or press Play 49to 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.
Once a program list has been entered, press the Play button 49to begin listening to the sequence. After the entire program has been played, the CD player will stop. As long as the Stop button 6Ahas not been pressed twice and the PROGRAM indicator remains lit, you may repeat the programmed-play sequence again by pressing the Play button 49.
Editing a Program
A program can be edited even after it was com- pleted by pressing the Stop button 6A once: Each time you press the Program button
3the track number and program step number will be displayed in the programmed order, but with steady tracks numbers (not blinking) in con- trast to the programming mode. As soon as the track number starts blinking (this will take
1 second), the appropriate program step number shown at the left side is not programmed yet; now you can change the track number with the Skip buttons 787or the Numeric but- tons 2as described above and add it to the program list by pressing the Program button 3.
Pressing the Stop button 6Atwice will return to normal mode and the PROGRAM indi- cator will go out, but the program will stay in memory and can be recalled easily by pressing the Program button. But pressing the Clear button 4(see below) or opening the disc drawer by pressing Open/Close 3F, will erase the program information from the unit’s memory.
Checking Program Contents
To check the contents of a program while the unit is stopped at first note that the PROGRAM indicator is lit (otherwise press Program) and the program step indication PROG-01:is not lit (otherwise press Stop once). Each time the Check button Eis pressed now, the Information Display will step through each of the programmed tracks. To cancel the check mode press the Stop button twice.
Clearing Programs
To clear a single track from the program list, press the Program button 3until the track to be delet- ed from the program sequence appears in the Information Display 1. When the track number appears, press the Clear 4once, the track selected will be deleted and the track number will be replaced by the next programmed one. Now you can delete that track too with the Clear button or press the Stop button 6A and again the Program 3button to select lower track numbers to be deleted.
When the unit is stopped and the program step indication PROG-01: 001is not lit (otherwise press Stop once), but the PROGRAM indicator is still lit (otherwise press Program 3) you may clear the entire contents of a program by pressing the Clear button 4.
Important Note: When you’ve pressed the Program button 3(once or several times) and the track number on the right starts blinking, the appropriate program step number (e.g. PROG-02: 008) shown at the left display side is not programmed yet. Do not continue to press the Program button now, otherwise the track selected will be memorized too. If you´re in doubt, press Stop button 6Aand start the procedure again with Program 3.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Tracks programmed as described above in chapter ”Programmed Play” can be played repeatedly too: When you press Repeat 5once after a program is created (the PROGRAM indicator must be lit, (otherwise press Program) and the program is played, the REPEAT 1 indicator will light and the track currently playing will be repeated continuously. If Repeat is pressed twice REPEAT ALL will be displayed, all programmed tracks will be played subsequently and the sequence will be repeated continuously until the Stop button is pressed.
