2. Infrared Transceiver (within display)
Infrared commands transmitted from the remote control are
received by a receiver behind this section of the display.
Remote control of the Nº390S may be unreliable if there is not
a clear line of sight between the remote control and the
receiver (if the remote is far off-axis, or if the Nº390S is within
a cabinet, for example). In such a case consider using a third-
party IR repeater to route the signal to the IR input jack on
the rear panel (see Rear Panel, Nº390S).
In addition to receiving IR commands, the Nº390S has the
ability to teach a learning remote control its own commands
from an IR transmitter located in this same area. (See Using
Learning Remote Controls for more information.)
3. Special Mode Indicator
The first character in the display is reserved for indication of
special modes of operation. For example, a P is displayed in
this space to indicate a Program (a special sequence of tracks)
is being played: A and B alternate while an A-B loop is being
repeated. Similarly, an R is displayed to denote random play,
and
is displayed to denote pause.
4. Track Indicator
The next two characters are used to indicate the number of
the track being played. When a compact disc is loaded but the
transport is in the stop mode, this same space indicates the
total number of tracks on the disc (or in the program for the
current disc, if programmed).
