10. mode – and mode + buttons
Using these two buttons in conjunction with the mode button,
any of four different Nº390S functions can be controlled from
the front panel:
• PROGRAM (for creating custom play lists)
• INPUTS (for selecting a digital source)
• TIMES (for selecting a time indication)
• VOLUME* (for controlling the volume of the Nº390S*)
* (Note that the volume control is only made available if
the Nº390S’s variable output mode is engaged; see Special
Functions for more information.)
Any of these four modes (three modes if using the fixed output)
may be accessed by repeatedly pressing the mode button,
thereby cycling through the options.
Once a particular mode is chosen, pressing the mode + and
mode –
buttons “increases” or “decreases” that particular
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.)
For detailed information on programming the Nº390S, see
Programming the Nº390S later in this manual.
11. disc repeat LED
This LED is lit when the Nº390S is set to repeat a disc (or a
disc’s program, if it has one) endlessly. This feature is accessed
using the repeat button (see number 7, page 19).
12. prev/rew button
Pressing this button momentarily will return you to the begin-
ning of the previous track. Pressing and holding this button will
instead perform a reverse scan of the music, reminiscent of
the rewind function found on many tape decks. This scanning
mode may be either audible or silent (according to your
choice in the setup: sound menu; see Special Functions), and it
allows you to quickly find a particular point within a track.
(Incidentally, if you wish to listen to the current track over
again from the beginning, simply press play while the track is
playing.)
