Remote Fkeys; Cautionary Note On Fkey Use - Classe Audio CP-500 - V2.4 Owner's Manual

remote Fkeys

The remote control supplied with the CP-500 has four function keys (Fkeys) that allow
you to have instant, easy access to specific system functions that might otherwise be
buried in a menu somewhere.
For example, if you use the balance control frequently, you may want to consider
programming one of the Fkeys to take you straight to that screen. Doing so will save
you having to access the control menu, followed by pressing the balance button (which
might be hard to see from across the room).
The remote Fkey menu has four buttons, one each for the four Fkeys on your
remote control. Pressing any of these buttons on the LCD touchscreen takes you to a
subordinate, scrolling list of possible functions for that particular Fkey.
Selecting the one you want is as simple as scrolling through the list (by touching either
the up or down arrows on the right), and then touching the specific function in the list
that you want that Fkey to perform.

cautionary note on Fkey use

Note that all Classé remote controls provide these same four Fkeys, so that you need not
worry about which remote you happen to pick up. Thus F1 on the preamplifier's remote
control sends the same infrared signal as F1 on the CD player's remote control.
While this is intended to minimize confusion amongst different remotes (since this
aspect of them will all perform identically), you should take care when assigning
different functions on different components to the same Fkey. Doing so would result
in two components doing two different things at once, in response to a single press of a
button on the remote control. This can sometimes be useful. As an example, F1 could
set the preamplifier to the CD input, and also set the CD player to Play, both from the
press of a single Fkey.
