* (Note that the
volume
control is only made available if the Nº39’s
variable output mode is engaged; see
Special Functions
for more
information.)
Any of these four modes (three modes if using the fixed output) may be
accessed by repeatedly pressing the
mode
button, thereby cycling through
the options.
Once a particular mode is chosen, pressing the
mode +
and
mode –
but-
tons increments or decrements that particular function. For example,
mode +
would either: add a track to a playlist; select the next digital input;
advance to the next time indication; or raise the volume.
Along with
mode +
and
mode –
, the
mode
button is also used to change
the option settings. (See
Special Functions
.)

REPEAT BUTTON
You may choose to either repeat the entire disc (including any programs
you might have entered for that particular disc) or an individual track by
pressing the
repeat
button. From normal operation, the first press of the
repeat button will light the
disc repeat
LED below the display (number 11
in the front panel illustration). Pressing the
repeat
button again will light
the
track repeat
LED (number 13 in the front panel illustration). Pressing it
a third time will cycle out of any repeating mode, as will pressing
stop/
drawer
at any time. In either case, both repeat LEDs will be extinguished to
indicate the absence of any repeat mode.

DRAWER
The Nº39 employs an elegant, slim drawer that is machined from a solid
piece of aluminum. It is normally opened and closed by pressing the
stop/drawer
button (number 15 in the front panel illustration). If opened, it
may also be closed simply by gently pushing the front edge inward (as
though you were going to close it manually). The Nº39 will interpret this as
a request to close the drawer and take over for you, smoothly closing the
drawer.
If the Nº39 senses an obstruction during opening of the drawer mechanism,
it will attempt to re-close. If successful, it will read the disc’s table of con-
tents and display the disc’s number of tracks and total time (followed by
the playlist’s track and time information, if one exists). If for any reason the
drawer does not close fully, the display will show
DRAWER
to indicate the
problem. After removing the obstruction, press the
stop/drawer
button
again to close the drawer normally.
Similarly, if the Nº39 senses an obstruction during the closing of its drawer,
it is designed to stop immediately and will attempt to reopen. If the nature
of the obstruction prevents this also, it will stop where it is and wait for
your intervention, displaying
STOPPED!
to indicate the problem. After remov-
ing the obstruction, press the
stop/drawer
button again to close the drawer.

HDCD
®
INDICATOR
This LED will illuminate when the Nº39 is playing HDCD-encoded material,
whether from the CD transport or from an external digital source.
