Front Panel Controls (continued)
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 right
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.
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 level to medium. Pressing the button a second time will further increase the brightness
to the highest setting. Pressing the “Display” button a third time returns the display to its default setting of low.
If you want to turn the display off, press and hold the “Display” button for 3 seconds. When the display is turned off, it will
still come back on for a short period of time whenever you press any of the buttons located on the front panel or the remote
control, using the brightness level that was previously established; the display will automatically turn off again once you are
done. To turn the display back on, simply press and hold the “Display” button for 3 seconds. The sonic performance of the
MOON SuperNova CD Player may improve slightly when the display is turned off.
The “Source” button is used to select an external digital source which must be connected to the BNC S/PDIF digital input on
the rear panel. The MOON SuperNova will then function as a reference quality Digital-to-Analog converter. Directly to the
left of this button is an LED that will illuminate only when an external digital signal is engaged.
To load a compact disc into the SuperNova, press “Open / Close” to open the drawer. While the drawer is opening, the
word “OPENING” will appear in the display window, followed by “OPEN” when the drawer is fully open. Place the CD in the
drawer with the label side facing up. To close the drawer, press “Open / Close” again; “CLOSING” will appear in the display
window followed by “LOADING” once the drawer is closed. “LOADING” indicates that the SuperNova is reading the CD’s
table of contents. Once the CD is successfully read, the total number of tracks and total playing time will appear in the display
window. As a result of various copy protection schemes, some CDs will take longer to read than others. When you load an
incompatible CD (i.e. data only, SACD, DVD-A or DVD-Video), the word ‘BAD DISC’ will appear in the display window and the
drawer will automatically open to eject this CD. Finally, in the event that you inadvertently leave the drawer open, it
will automatically close after approximately three (3) minutes.
