Basic Operation

Before operating your Nº390S, take a minute to become familiar with its controls and their locations. (See “Front Panel, Nº390S” and “Remote Control, Nº390S.”)

To load a CD:

1.Make sure that the main power switch is set to the “” position.

2.Press stop/drawer to open the drawer.

3.Place a CD into the recess of the drawer, label side up. Handle the CD by the outer edges and center hole only.

4.Press stop/drawer.

Note: If you have previously saved a program for the CD, the letter P will appear preceding the track number on the display. (See “Programming the Nº390S.”)

To override a previously saved program, briefly press mode – once while in program mode. All of the CD’s tracks will be accessible for basic operation, but the program will still be retained in the Nº390S’s memory.

To play all tracks on the CD, press the play button. All tracks will play in order. Play will stop automatically at the end of the CD.

To begin play with a track other than the first track:

1.Before pressing play, press next until the number of the desired track shows on the Display. If you pass the track you want to play, you can “back up” by pressing previous. (You may also select the track using the numbered buttons on the Remote Control.)

2.Press play to begin playing that track. The remaining tracks will play in order. Play will stop automatically at the end of the CD.

To return to the beginning of a track while it is playing, press play. Play will be suspended briefly, then that track will replay followed by the remaining tracks on the CD.

Using the Remote Control, you may have the Nº390S play tracks at random. To do this, press the 0 (zero) numbered key, then press play. The display will show RANDOM briefly to indicate that you have entered the random-play mode. Subsequently, the letter R will appear preceding the track number in the display as a reminder. To cancel random play, press stop.
