The Remote Control

Your new preamplifier 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.
• Display cycles through the three brightness settings of the screen display.
• Standby toggles the CP-500 between standby and operate.
2 Input Selection and Volume
The Up and Down arrow keys on the left side of the remote control will cycle
through the active inputs on your CP-500.
If you have inputs you are not using, we suggest deactivating them in order to
provide faster, easier access to the inputs you are actually using. (See the section
The Menu System for information on how to do this.)
The Up and Down arrow keys on the right side of the remote control will raise
and lower volume; the square key between them will activate the Mute function
of the CP-500 (as defined in the menu system; see The Menu System for more on
your mute options).
The Tape key 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.
