function. For example, mode + would either: add a track to a
play list; select the next digital input; advance to the next
time indication; or raise the volume.

Along with mode + and mode –, the mode button is also used
to change the option settings. (See Special Functions.)

7. Repeat button

You may choose to either repeat the entire disc (including any
programs you might have entered for that particular disc) or
an individual track by pressing the repeat button. From
normal operation, the first press of the repeat button will
light the disc repeat LED below the display (number 11 in the
front panel illustration). Pressing the repeat button again will
light the track repeat LED (number 13 in the front panel
illustration). Pressing it a third time will cycle out of any
repeating mode, as will pressing stop/drawer at any time. In
either case, both repeat LEDs will be extinguished to indicate
the absence of any repeat mode.

8. Drawer

The Nº390S employs an elegant, slim drawer that is machined
from a solid piece of aluminum. It is normally opened and
closed by pressing the stop/drawer button (number 15 in the
front panel illustration). If opened, it may also be closed
simply by gently pushing the front edge inward (as though
you were going to close it manually). The Nº390S will interpret
this as a request to close the drawer and take over for you,
smoothly closing the drawer.

If the Nº390S senses an obstruction during opening of the
drawer mechanism, it will attempt to re-close. If successful, it
will read the disc’s table of contents and display the disc’s
number of tracks and total time (followed by the play list’s
track and time information, if one exists). If for any reason
the drawer does not close fully, the display will show DRAWER
to indicate the problem. After removing the obstruction, press
the stop/drawer button again to close the drawer normally.

Similarly, if the Nº390S senses an obstruction during the
closing of its drawer, it is designed to stop immediately and
will attempt to reopen. If the nature of the obstruction
prevents this also, it will stop where it is and wait for your
intervention, displaying STOPPED! to indicate the problem.
After removing the obstruction, press the stop/drawer button
again to close the drawer.

9. HDCD® indicator

This LED will illuminate when the Nº390S is playing HDCD-
encoded material, whether from the CD transport or from an
external digital source.
