Special Functions

The Nº390S offers many special customization features, allowing it to serve a wide range of needs simply and completely. These options are grouped in three SETUP menus: SOUND, LINKS, and AUX IN’s.

These three menus are accessed by pressing and holding (“camping on”) the mode button until the display changes to show SETUP, followed by SOUND. Subsequent clicks of the mode button will cycle through the various major menus (LINKS, AUX IN’s, and back to SOUND); any of these menus may be selected by pressing and holding the mode button a second time. Subsequent clicks of the mode button will cycle through the various items within each major menu; pressing and holding the mode button will take you back to the three main menus (should you want to go from a SOUND item to a LINK item, for example).
