TIME ON DISC AND TIME REMAINING LED INDICATORS
These LEDs are used to indicate which of the four available display modes
the Nº37 is in. The four indications of time that can be displayed are:
•
time elapsed in track
(neither LED lit)
•
time elapsed on disc
(
time on disc
LED lit)
•
time remaining on disc
(
time on disc
and
time remaining
LEDs lit)
•
time remaining on track
(
time remaining
LED lit)
These four options are accessed by repeatedly pressing the
mode
button,
which cycles through the four modes. If a custom playlist exists for the cur-
rent disc, time elapsed or remaining “on disc” refers to the
playlist
rather
than the entire disc.

PLAY BUTTON
As you might guess, press this button in order to
play
a disc. If a pro-
grammed sequence of tracks exists for that particular disc, the program will
be played from its beginning. Also, as you might expect, you may press the
play
button immediately after placing a disc in the Nº37’s drawer; the
drawer will close and the Nº37 will enter the play mode as soon as it has
read the disc’s table of contents and checked to see if a program exists that
ought to be played.
The
play
button has another important function: if you wish to return to
the beginning of the track currently playing, simply press
play
to restart at
the beginning of that same track. If the Nº37 is in
pause
, pressing
play
will
resume play.
Playing “Index 0”
A few CDs have recorded sounds in the space immediately preceding the
songs themselves. This space is referred to as “Index 0” (as distinct from
Index 1, which is where the track is normally thought of as “beginning.”)
This is most common among live concert CDs, where you may hear some
crowd noise before the each song begins. Some people find this audience
noise distracting, and prefer to mute the inter-track output of the Nº37 on
those few discs where it exists. (From the factory, the Nº37 is set to let you
hear everything on the disc.)
To change whether or not Index 0 is audible,
press and hold
the
play
but-
ton for a few seconds, until the display reads
NDXØ OFF
or
NDXØ ON
. To
toggle between on and off, click on the
play
button. When you have made
your selection, press and hold the
play
button again until the display reads
SAVED
.

PAUSE BUTTON
Pressing this button once during play will
pause
the Nº37 at that point
within the track; the display will show double bars (
"
) as a reminder that
you are in the
pause
mode.
the extended pause mode
After about two minutes in
pause
, the Nº37 will go into an “extended
pause” mode, showing
X-PAUSE
briefly in the display.
Extended pause
stops
the disc and turns off the laser against the possibility that you have been
called away and may not return for some time. The Nº37 will slowly flash
the double bars (
"
) to indicate that you are in the
extended pause
mode
rather than normal
pause
.
