To complicate matters further, different portions of (or instruments on) the recording may experience even or odd numbers of inversions, resulting in no single “correct” playback setting. This problem is particularly common among
Fortunately, if the Nº390S can control the playback polarity of its processor from the remote control. Moreover, the Nº390S can be asked to “remember” your preference (should you have one) for each recording.
Programmed play lists include polarity information. The Nº390S will ensure the “correct” polarity (that is, the polarity you chose when creating the program) upon playback of that play list.
This polarity may only be overridden by either temporarily overriding the play list or by
If you want to remember only the preferred polarity for an entire disc, and do not wish to store a custom play list:
1.Press stop. When in stop, the Nº390S displays the total number of tracks and time on the disc. (You must not have a preexisting program if you wish to save a single polarity for the entire disc in one step. To erase a preexisting program, press and hold the mode – button.)
2.Make sure that the Nº390S is in the programming mode by clicking the mode button until you see PROGRAM in the display.
3.Choose your preferred polarity. You may use either the polarity button on the processor or the polarity button on the Nº390S remote control. Select your preferred setting.
4.Press and hold the mode + button. The display will show

Some discs seem to flip back and forth in polarity between one track and the next. If you wish to store polarity on a
