Repeating a specific passage

Inverting playback polarity

Stopping play

To repeat (continuously) a specific phrase or passage on a CD, press repeat A-Bat the beginning of the passage you would like to repeat. At the end of the pas- sage, press repeat A-Bagain. The passage you selected will repeat continuously.

While the repeat A-Bfunction is active, A then B will appear preceding the track number on the display. To return to normal play without interruption, press the repeat A-Bbutton again.

While in the repeat A-B mode, the following keys behave as outlined below:

play will restart play at point A (much as doing so normally re- turns you to the beginning of the current track).

search reverse will “rewind” the disc back, beginning play when you release the button. This allows you to review the lead-in to your A-B section, as when learning a piece of music by ear. search forward will “fast forward” the music as far as the “B” point, stopping there for easy access to the end of your A-B loop.

stop will leave the repeat A-Bmode and enter stop.

previous will move you to the previous track (or index if in index mode) whether or not it lies within the A-B loop.

next will move you to the next track (or index if in index mode). If this location lies beyond the defined A–B loop, the Nº31.5 will leave repeat A–Bmode, reverting to normal play.

direct track access will override your A-B loop if you go beyond the defined A–B loop.

direct time access will also override your A-B loop if you go be- yond the defined A–B loop.

If your Nº31.5 is linked to a compatible Mark Levinson digital processor via the communication ports, you may change the playback polarity. (See Setting Op- tions.)

After loading a CD, press the polarity invert button on the digital processor’s front panel, or press d/a polarity on the Nº31.5’s Remote Control, then press play. The CD will play with inverted polarity.

If you want this CD to always play with inverted polarity, press program save before pressing play. The display will show POLARITY PRG, a small P will appear preceding the track number on the display, and inverted polarity will be saved as a “program” for that CD. (See Programming.)

To stop play before the end of the CD, press Stop. The display will show the total number of tracks and their total playing time.

You may also stop play by pressing Lid Open/Close. In this case, play will stop and the Lid will open.
