The HD720’s advanced programming
capability enables you to preset the order
in which tracks play, to repeat one track
or all tracks, and to repeat any portion of
a disc without regard to track numbers.

To program the order in which the 
tracks on a disc play, begin by pressing
the 

button

the

indicator will light in 

the

number of tracks and total disc playing
time will also appear.

You may now begin to enter the tracks in
the order in which you wish to have
them play. When entering track numbers
from the remote control, simply enter the
numbers using the

of track numbers 10 and above within
two seconds of the first number. Tracks
may also be entered from the front panel
or remote by pressing the 

buttons

appears. Press the 

button

to enter the track to memory, and

then proceed to select the next track you
wish to program.

As tracks are entered, two displays will
alternate. The first will indicate the 
total number of tracks that have been
programmed along with the last track
number entered.

The second display will show the total
cumulative running time of all tracks
entered along with the last track number
programmed. After 6 seconds, only this
display will appear if no other track
number is entered.

As each track is added to the program
list, its number will illuminate at the
bottom of the display.

When you have entered all the tracks 
that you wish to program, press the 

button 

4 j

to begin playback of the

programmed sequence. The tracks will
now play back in the order in which they
were programmed.

When the complete set of programmed
tracks has played, the unit will stop. 
The program will remain and may be
started again by pressing the 

button

player’s memory as long as the disc is 
not removed.

Note that once the disc drawer is opened,
the program information is lost, and
must be re-entered even if the same disc
is placed back in the machine.

regardless of how many tracks are on the
disc, and how many individual tracks
have been programmed.
