Of course, it is possible to bump into the knob by accident, which might result in its
spinning very quickly indeed. Rather than increasing the volume uncontrollably under
these conditions, the CP-500 actually slows everything down again as a safety measure
against accidentally blowing your speakers. In fact, if you like you may establish a speed
limit beyond which the knob will simply be ignored.
The factory default settings for these behaviors are generally found to be intuitive and
a pleasure to use. However, if you prefer to alter these behaviors, you may do so in the
rotary menu, shown below.
All of the rotary setup settings are interactive. You can set the value, and then adjust the
volume to see whether the effect is what you desired.
• low range: determines the degree to which the responsiveness of the volume
control is boosted at low volume control settings, in order to get through them
more quickly. A setting of 0 disengages the effect, while a setting of 100 maximizes
it.
• low speed: determines the responsiveness of the control when the knob is being
turned slowly. A setting of 0 will cause the volume to change as slowly as possible
at low knob speeds; a setting of 100 will cause the volume to change as quickly as
allowed at low knob speeds. (The menu is the same as the one above except for the
indication that it is for the "low speed" adjustment.)
• medium speed: determines the responsiveness of the control when the knob is
being turned at a moderate speed. A setting of 0 will cause the volume to change
as slowly as possible at medium speeds; a setting of 100 will cause the volume to
change as quickly as allowed at medium knob speeds. (The menu is the same as the
one above except for the indication that it is for the "medium speed" adjustment.)
• high speed: determines the responsiveness of the control when the knob is being
turned rapidly. A setting of 0 will cause the volume to change as slowly as possible
at high knob speeds; a setting of 100 will cause the volume to change as quickly as
allowed at high knob speeds. (The menu is the same as the one above except for the
indication that it is for the "high speed" adjustment.)
