Figure 1:  MOON 230D 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 time information.  
 
The “Standby” button disengages the transport mechanism from the rest of the 230D’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 LED on the 230D will no longer be illuminated when the player is in “Standby” mode. 
 
On  the  left  side  of  the  display  window,  from top to bottom, are four (4) red indicator LED’s that will illuminate as follows  
(each of these functions is described in detail in “Remote Control Operation” section beginning on page 10): 

 

 

 

‘Program’ - 

when Program mode is engaged 

 

 

‘Repeat’   - 

Both LED’s - when Repeat mode is engaged for the entire compact disc 

 

 

 

 

Lower  LED  only  -  when  Repeat  mode is engaged for one (1) specific track 

 

 

‘Random’ - 

when “Random” play mode is engaged
