A-B Repeat To repeat (continuously) a specific phrase or passage on a CD
(when learning how to play a favorite solo, for example), press
A–B
on the remote at the beginning of the passage you would like
to repeat. At the end of the passage, press A–B on the remote
again. The passage you selected will repeat continuously.
While the repeat A–B function is active, the letters A and B will
alternate, preceding the track number on the display. To return to
normal play, press the A–B button again.
Polarity The Nº390S can change its playback polarity to compensate for
the inverted polarity of some recordings. When you first press
polarity
on the remote control, the Nº390S will display its current
polarity, either NORMAL or INVERTED. Subsequent clicks on the
polarity
button while the display is indicating the current polarity
will toggle between the two possibilities.
Programming the Nº390S
Introduction to Play Rather than playing an entire CD, you may choose to play only
Lists certain selections. To do this, you create a “play list.” If this is a
one-time play list, it may be used immediately upon being created
(and will vanish when a new play list is created). Alternatively,
thousands of play lists may be stored in the Nº390S’s permanent
memory, at which point each becomes the default play list for the
particular disc with which it is associated (until you explicitly
change it).
Before using your Nº390S’s programming features, become familiar
with its controls and their locations, as well as their basic functions.
Note: During the playing of a play list, the Nº390S’s basic functions
operate as described in “Basic Operation,” except that they affect the
playback of the program, not the entire CD. For instance, pressing next
during play skips to the next track in the play list, whether or not it is
the next track on the CD. In the same way, engaging disc repeat will
repeat the entire play list, not the entire disc.
The Nº390S allows up to 99 selections per play list, with any given
track appearing once only. In practical terms, the only limitation
on the length of your play list is the number of tracks on your
disc.
Important Note: Assembling a play list is possible only when the disc is stopped.
