Introduction to Play Lists

Important Note:

To repeat (continuously) a specific phrase or passage on a CD (when learning how to play a favorite solo, for example), press A–Bon the remote at the beginning of the passage you would like to repeat. At the end of the passage, press A–Bon the remote again. The passage you selected will repeat continuously.

While the repeat A–Bfunction is active, the letters A and B will alternate, preceding the track number on the display. To return to normal play, press the A–Bbutton again.

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

Rather than playing an entire CD, you may choose to play only 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, 41 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.

Assembling a play list is possible only when the disc is stopped.
