Balance

To adjust the L/R Balance, when on the Balance page, use the volume knob or
the volume up/down keys of the remote control. Balance is adjusted in 0.5 dB
increments by alternately boosting and cutting 0.5 dB from each channel. In this
way, the overall level stays roughly the same as the balance shifts. The Balance
control works by making adjustments with the master volume control, so no
additional circuitry enters the signal path when balance adjustments are made.
The Balance control offers a range of +/- 10.0 dB and moving the control to
either extreme turns off the opposite channel (used mostly for troubleshooting).
NOTE: Your L & R speakers may not produce the exact same
output for a given input, or their location in the room or relative
to your listening position may contribute to a perceived imbalance
of up to a few dB. To compensate for this, play a simple vocal
recording and put the CP-800 in Mono (press Menu, then Mono).
Open the Balance control page and using the remote, adjust the
balance until the sound image is perfectly centered. If you close your
eyes and do this a few times, you will find that one number, (e.g.
Right 1.5 dB) may appear consistently. If so, you know that is the
adjustment your system requires. Leave the setting there, return
to normal stereo operation and then forget all about the balance
control.
You may create up to six different output configurations to accommodate
preferences like with or without subwoofer(s), or with subwoofer(s) having
different crossover settings. While these configurations may be associated with
specific sources, they may also be called from the Main Menu page or the remote
control. Pressing the Configurations button in the Main Menu or choosing
Config Select on the remote opens the Configurations page. Choose the
configuration you wish to employ.
To customize configurations, see the Configuration Setup description in the
System Setup section.

Mono

Pressing the Mono button combines L & R channels, resulting in monaural
output on all channels (including Auxiliary and subwoofer channels). When in
Mono, the Mono button is shaded. Press again to deselect and return to normal
stereo operation. When in Mono, the word Mono appears on the Home page.

Status

The Status screen provides several items of information on the currently selected
source and configuration as well as access to information on the firmware used
in and the internal settings and sensors of the CP-800. While on this page,
pressing the more button will access the CAN-Bus features for connected Classé
components.
