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

3. The PROGRAM indicator will

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 

2 corresponding to the desired track,

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
buttons 7

7 to select a track. When the

track is selected, press the Program button 8
3. Note that the program-step indication on
the right side of the Information Display will
change to P-02.

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 8

3 again. Repeat this

procedure for each program step until you have
completed the desired programming. Press the
Stop button 5

A once to complete a pro-

gram sequence, or press Play 4

9 to begin

immediate play of a program sequence. If the
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
Play button 4

9 to begin listening to the

sequence. After the entire program has been
played, the HD 755 will stop. As long as the
Stop button 5

A has not been pressed twice

and the PROGRAM indicator remains lit, you may
repeat the programmed-play sequence again by
pressing the Play button 4

A program can be edited even after it was com-
pleted by pressing the Stop button 5

A

once: Each time you press the Program button
8

3 the track number and program step

number will be displayed in the programmed
order, but with steady tracks numbers (not blink-
ing) in contrast to the programming mode. As
soon as the track number starts blinking, the
appropriate program step number shown at the
right side is not programmed yet; now you can
change the track number with the Skip buttons
7

7 or the Numeric buttons 2 as

described above and add it to the program list
by pressing the Program button 8

indicator is lit (otherwise press Program) and
the program step indication P-01 just below
the PROGRAM indicator is not lit (otherwise press
Stop once). Each time the Check button 

E is

pressed now, the Information Display will step
through each of the programmed tracks.

To clear a single track from the program list, press
the Program button 8

3 until the track to be

deleted from the program sequence appears in the
Information Display %.When the track number
appears, press the Clear
