Once the Nēo 260D successfully locks onto the digital signal, the four dashes will be replaced by the sampling rate frequency
of this digital signal. When the DAC cannot lock onto the selected digital input signal, “----” remains in the display window.
The 260D’s DAC is capable of processing a digital signal at one of the following six (6) different sampling rates: “44.1”,
“48.0”, “88.2”, “96.0” , “176.4” and “192.0” (all in kHz).
To return back to the disc input, simply press the “Input” button; the disc input follows the “D4” input.
The “Random” button, when pressed, will play each of the tracks on a compact disc in a completely random order, as opposed
to the sequential order as they appear on the disc. If you have already created a program of selected tracks, it will play these
programmed tracks in a random order. The LED located immediately to the left of the “Random” button will illuminate when
you’ve engaged the random mode.
The “Time” button allows you to scroll through the four (4) different display modes for time related information. Each time
you press the “Time” button, the system scrolls to the next time information mode. By default, the Nēo 260D will display the
elapsed time of the track currently playing. The scrolling order is as follows:
1. Elapsed time of the current track
2. Remaining time of the current track
3. Elapsed time of the entire compact disc (or programmed tracks)
4. Remaining time of the entire compact disc (or programmed tracks)
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; 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. Finally, the display mode that you select will continue to be used until you either select
another mode or power down the Nēo 260D using the main power switch located on the rear panel.
To load a compact disc into the Nēo 260D, press Sto open the drawer. While the drawer is opened, four (4) dashes “----”
will appear in the display. Place the CD in the drawer with the label side facing up. To close the drawer, press Sagain; 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 a CD that contains no musical tracks (i.e. data only), the word ‘DATA’ will appear in the display window. As
well, if you load a disc that is not compatible with the 260D (i.e. SACD, DVD-A, DVD-Video etc), the phrase ‘NO DISC’ will
appear in the display window. Finally, when you inadvertently leave the drawer open, it will automatically close
after approximately three (3) minutes.
Press Xto begin playing a compact disc. Pressing Xwhile a track is already playing will result in the current track
immediately playing again, starting from the beginning. Press to search backward or to search forward through the
compact disc’s tracks. When you’ve located the track number, press Xto begin playing that track. When you initiate a
forward or backward track change while a disc is already playing, it will automatically start playing the track you select; you
need not press X.
Pressto pause the compact disc currently playing. The disc will continue spinning and the laser will be suspended in its
current position. Pressa second time or Xto resume playing the disc. Press to stop the compact disc from playing. The
laser will return to the start position of the disc.
