Introduction to Playlists

Important Note:
Programming the Nº39
Rather than playing an entire CD, you may choose to play only certain selections.
To do this, you create a "playlist." If this is a one-time playlist, it may be used im-
mediately upon being created (and will vanish when a new playlist is created).
Alternatively, thousands of playlists may be stored in the Nº39's permanent
memory, at which point each becomes the default playlist for the particular disc
with which it is associated (until you explicitly change it).
Before using your Nº39's programming features, become familiar with its controls
and their locations, as well as their basic functions.
Note: During the playing of a playlist, the Nº39's basic functions
operate as described in "Basic Operation," except that they affect
the playback of the program, not the entire CD. For instance, press-
ing during play skips to the next track in the playlist, whether
next
or not it is the next track on the CD. In the same way, engaging
repeat will repeat the entire playlist, not the entire disc.
The Nº39 allows up to 99 selections per playlist, with any given track appearing
once only. In practical terms, the only limitation on the length of your playlist is
the number of tracks on your disc.
Assembling a playlist is possible only when the disc is
stopped.
The Nº39's memory can store playlists for thousands of different CDs. Saved
playlists remain in memory when you place the Nº39 into

When you load a CD, the Nº39 reads that CD's unique identification code. If you
assemble a playlist for a particular CD and save it into the Nº39's memory , the
Nº39 "remembers" that CD's playlist.
The next time you load that CD, the Nº39 will recognize the CD's identification
code and automatically load the previously saved playlist. (The display initially
shows the number of tracks and total time on the disc, followed by the number
of tracks and total time of the playlist, preceded by the letter
Even if you have previously saved a playlist for a CD, the Nº39 allows you to tem-
porarily override it (and have access to all tracks on the CD), without erasing it
from memory . This temporary override applies to polarity programming as well.
To temporarily override a previously saved playlist, click the
