Brightness; Timeout; Language; Main Balance - Classe Audio CP-500 - V2.4 Owner's Manual

brightness

The brightness setting of the CP-500 has three possible values: low, medium, and high.
Select the appropriate setting based on the level of ambient light typically found in your
listening room while using the system. A high brightness setting usually works best in
brightly-lit rooms; you may find that a lower setting is less visually intrusive under more
subdued lighting conditions.

timeout

If you prefer listening to music in a dimly-lit or darkened room, you may find even
the low brightness setting of the display somewhat distracting. If so, you can vary the
timeout of the backlighting so as to turn it off entirely after a period of inactivity you
select.
In this context, activity refers to any use of the user interface. This includes hard buttons,
the LCD touchscreen, and the remote control.
For example, if you reduce the timeout to its minimum setting, the backlighting will
illuminate the display as soon as you interact with any of the CP-500 controls, and stay
on for only three seconds – just long enough for you to check on something. If you
continue to use any of the controls (at least once every three seconds), the display will
remain lit. It will then extinguish itself after three seconds of inactivity on your part.
If you prefer the display of the CP-500 to remain on whenever not in standby, choose the
never timeout setting. The lamp in the LCD display was designed for harsh automotive
environments and will give you many years of reliable operation. If you plan to leave
the unit on continuously, however, we recommend that you keep the timeout delay set
to less than one minute. (Note that setting the brightness to a lower setting does not
increase the life of the lamp.)

language

The language menu offers you any of the different languages supported by the CP-
500 GUI. Classé has provided our international distributors with a software tool that
makes it possible for them to customize the translations to suit their local customs and
terminology, in an effort to ensure that the CP-500's operation is as intuitive to use in
every country as it is in our home country of Canada.

main balance

The main balance control gives you both a numeric and a graphical indication of the
current balance setting for the CP-500.
Some recordings are not balanced particularly well between the left and right channels.
If the image presented by a particular recording seems heavily weighted to the left (for
example), you can restore a more natural perspective with the balance control. To shift
the image to the right, touch the right>> button one or more times as needed to correct
the perceived imbalance.
