rpt disc/trk
: Press once to enter
disc repeat
mode (repeating the
entire disc, or an entire playlist if one is entered). This action will
illuminate the
disc repeat LED
. Press a second time to enter the
track repeat
mode (repeating a single track ad nauseum). A third
press will cycle you back to normal operation, as will pressing
stop
.
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
).
Once this has been done, the Nº37 will repeat the segment of the
disc between points
A
and
B
until you press
A-B
again, or
stop
.
(Note that
A
must precede
B
on the disc.)
Accessing a point
after
the endpoint of the A–B loop by using
next
,
direct track
or
direct time
will also disengage the A–B func-
tion, entering normal
play
at your selected point. Using either
previous
or
direct time
access
prior
to point A will leave the A–B
loop active: when you play back into the loop, it will reinstate
itself. (
This is helpful when learning to play a particular segment
of music, since you can “back up” to hear the lead-in to the seg-
ment occasionally without losing your A–B points.

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 Nº37. 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 Nº37 is already in play,
simply pressing the number button will be sufficient.)
The Nº37 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 Nº37 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 Nº37 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 Nº37 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 playlist) will show
R
to indicate
random play
. Moreover,
placing the Nº37 into
random play
mode while the
disc repeat
function is
engaged will cause it to play the various tracks on the disc randomly indefi-
nitely (until you stop it). This can be a great way to provide background
music during a dinner party, for example.
These numbers may also be used in conjunction with other features, such
as programming and direct access by time. For example, when in the
stop
mode, you may press
5
and press the
prog –
button to delete track 5 from
your playlist. In this case, the Nº37 would play that particular disc normally,
except that it would automatically skip from track 4 to track 6.
Selecting a particular track does not affect the operating mode. That is to
say, pressing
7
while in
play
begins playing track 7; pressing
4
while in
pause
leaves you paused at the beginning of track 4.
