PROGRAMMED PLAY OPERATION  

The HD 755’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 allows you to program up to
32 tracks into the HD 755’s memory. To begin
programming the HD 755, press the Program
button 8

light in the Information Display %, the
number 01 will blink below the Track indicator,
showing the track number selected, and  
P-01

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

be certain to enter the second number of two
digit numbers within two seconds after the first
number was entered. You may also use the Skip

track is selected, press the Program button 8

maximum of 32 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
