Alternatively, you might want to set the Nº390S to play music for a specific period of time. Say you’d like to listen to music until the evening news begins in 30 minutes. Make sure both the time on disc and time remaining LEDs are on (indicating time remaining on disc, the default display mode when in stop); press time; enter 3 0 0 0; and press play. This sequence will direct the Nº390S to a point 30 minutes from the end of the disc, and engage play at that point. When the music ends, you will know it is time to turn on the news.

To suspend play while a CD is playing, press pause. To resume play at the same point, press pause again.

If left in pause for about two minutes, the transport will stop spinning and the laser will turn off (thereby enhancing the longevity of both). This extended pause mode will be indicated by the display showing a slowly flashing quotation mark ( ) as a reminder that you are in the extended pause mode (since this mark mimics the double bars used to indicate pause).

Alternatively, extended pause may be engaged by pressing and holding the pause button until the double bars begin to blink.

To repeat (continuously) all tracks on a CD, press repeat until the disc repeat LED is lit. To return to normal play, press repeat (or rpt disc/trk on the remote) again two more times (to cycle through track repeat to normal play). Pressing stop will also restore the Nº390S to normal (non-repeating) operation.

To repeat (continuously) the track in (normal) play, press repeat (or rpt disc/trk on the remote) twice to cycle through disc repeat to track repeat. While the track repeat function is active, the LED above the button is lit.

This feature is helpful (for example) when trying to learn how to play a particular song by playing along with the disc. To learn sections of the song, you may want to use the A-B repeat function described on the next page. Once you have most of the sections learned, you can put them together with a track repeat.

Track repeat takes priority over other functions such as next and previous. To return to normal operation, press repeat again.
