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.
