Assembling a Play List
The Nº390S’s memory can store play lists for thousands of different CDs. Saved play lists remain in memory when you place the Nº390S into standby, when you turn off the main power switch
— even if AC power is interrupted.
When you load a CD, the Nº390S reads that CD’s unique identification code. If you assemble a play list for a particular CD and save it into the Nº390S’s memory, the Nº390S “remembers” that CD’s play list.
The next time you load that CD, the Nº390S will recognize the CD’s identification code and automatically load the previously saved play list. (The display initially shows the number of tracks and total time on the disc, preceded by the letter P in the display.)
Even if you have previously saved a play list for a CD, the Nº390S allows you to temporarily override it (and have access to all tracks on the CD), without erasing it from memory. This temporary override applies to polarity programming as well.
To temporarily override a previously saved play list, click the mode button until PROGRAM is displayed on the front panel, and press mode – while the CD is loaded but before play has started. All of the CD’s tracks will subsequently be accessible for normal operations, but the original play list will still be retained in the Nº390S’s memory. You can even create a temporary play list as an alternative to your normal, permanent play list.
To assemble a new play list:
1.Load a CD, and wait for the display to show the number of tracks and their total playing time.
2.Make sure that the Nº390S is in the programming mode by clicking the mode button until you see PROGRAM in the display.
3.Using the next and previous buttons (or the numbered buttons on the Remote Control), select the first track in your play list.
4.Add the first selection to your play list by pressing mode +. The display will acknowledge your command by showing a P preceding the track number on the display to indicate that it has been added to the play list.
5.Assemble the rest of your play list by repeating steps 2 and 3. Make sure to press mode + after each selection.
