• The button acts like the backspace key on a computer keyboard,

moving the cursor to the left and eliminating any characters along

the way.

• The

button moves the cursor to the right, adding characters

along the way. (Change each character to what you want as you go

along, using the + and √ buttons.)

• The + and √ buttons change the current character through the

available characters. They include all upper and lower case letters

of the alphabet, the numbers 0-9, and a variety of punctuation.

When done, your main display might look like this (note the

change in what would otherwise be the bal 1 input).

Warning! When an input is renamed ‘SSP’, it becomes a unity

gain input. When such an input is selected, the volume

control of the CP-500 is disabled, all outputs are driven

at line level and the volume indication is removed from

the main menu.

This is useful in situations where the CP-500 is being

used to pass through a signal coming from a component

with its own volume control (e.g. Classé SSP-300

surround sound processor), or when one of its outputs is

sent to a component with its own volume control (SSP-

300). Care should be taken to adjust the volume control

of the other component before selecting the SSP input,

as the resulting volume level may be uncomfortably

loud.

• input balance adjusts an input-speci–c balance adjustment to

compensate for the possibility that a particular source might be

slightly imbalanced. This is especially common with turntables,

since even the –nest handmade cartridges are subject to small

channel imbalance problems.

• input offset provides a way to compensate for differences in

output level between various source components. Doing so

can eliminate the sometimes annoying and abrupt changes in

volume encountered when switching between different source

components.
