A/B REPEAT BUTTON
The Nº39 may be set to repeat any contiguous segment of a disc:
A-B
: Press once to establish a beginning point (point
A
) for an end-
less playback loop. The display will flash the letter
B
to indicate
that it is ready to accept your designated ending point (point
B
).
(Note that
A
must precede
B
on the disc.) Once this has been
done, the Nº39 will repeat the segment of the disc between
points
A
and
B
until you press
stop
or
A-B
again.

MODE BUTTONS
Using these three buttons, either of two Nº39 functions can be controlled
from the remote control:
•
PROGRAM
(for creating custom playlists)
•
TIMES
(for selecting a time indication)
Either of these modes may be accessed by repeatedly pressing the
mode
button, thereby toggling back and forth between 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; or advance to the next time
indication.
Along with
mode +
and
mode –
, the
mode
button is also used to change
the option settings. (See
Special Functions
.)

Programming the
Nº39

NUMERIC KEYPAD
The numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 may be used to directly access in-
dividual track numbers of discs played by the Nº39. For example, to go di-
rectly to track 13, press
1
followed by
3
, and then press
play
. You do not
have to add a 0 before a single-digit track number:
7
, followed by
play
, will
take you directly to track number 7. (In fact, if the Nº39 is already in play,
simply pressing the number button will be sufficient.)
The Nº39 displays a certain amount of intelligence with respect to direct
track access. If the first number entered identifies a particular track unam-
biguously (such as
2
on a 12-track disc), the Nº39 is “smart” enough to im-
mediately move to that track. If the first number entered could be the first
of two digits (such as
1
on a 12-track disc), the Nº39 will wait for a moment
to determine whether you wish to enter a second number. If not, it will
then go to the single-digit track you selected.
Random Play
Incidentally, if you press
0
followed by
play
, the Nº39 will enter a
random play
mode in which the order of the current disc’s playlist is
scrambled, and then played. The first character of the display (that shows a
P
when playing a custom program) will show
R
to indicate
random play
.
Moreover, placing the Nº39 into
random play
mode while the
disc
repeat
function is engaged will cause it to play the various tracks on the
disc randomly indefinitely (until you stop it). This can be a great way to
provide background music during a dinner party, for example.
