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.
