The Remote Control
Your new preampli–er comes with a versatile remote control which can control
both the CP-500 itself and several aspects of the rest of a Classé-based system.
The buttons are arranged in logical groups according to their functions.
1 Basic Functions
This section along the top of the remote control groups four functions that
control your basic interactions with the CP-500.
• Light switches the backlighting of the remote control on, for
better visibility under low-light conditions. After a few moments
of inactivity, the backlight switches off automatically.
• Info takes you directly to the status screen in the LCD menu
system, displaying several items of information about the CP-
500 and its current operational status.
• Disp (for Display) cycles through the three brightness settings of
the screen display.
• Standby toggles the CP-500 between standby and operate.
2 Navigation Keys
The central section of the remote control contains the navigation keys.
This array of buttons is similar to what you may have seen on remote
controls for DVD players, and is used for navigation of the menu system
of the CP-500.
• Home returns you to the normal input selection controls
normally shown on the LCD screen on the front panel of the
CP-500. This provides a quick way to get back to normal
operation, regardless of how deep you might be in the menu
system.
• Menu serves two functions: it calls up the menu system when
you need it in order to adjust something to your preference;
once within the menu system, pressing Menu returns you to the
previous level of the menu system. If you press Menu when at
the top level of the menu system, it will take you back out of the
menu system to the normal display.
• Up/Down/Left/Right keys allow you to move within a
particular menu screen, changing the highlighted item up/down/
left/right as you like, from the comfort of your listening position.
• The
Enter key allows you to select the highlighted item, having
the same effect as if you had pressed the button on the LCD
touchscreen.
• The
Tape key is not a navigation key, per se, but allows you
to easily toggle between listening to the selected source and
listening to the output of your recording device. If you have
a recording device (such as a three-head tape deck) which can
play back a recording while it is being made, you will be able
to compare the original signal to the recording while you are
making it.
