Language; Colors; Volume; Main Balance - Classe Audio CP-700 Owner's Manual

language The language menu offers you any of the different languages supported by
the CP-700 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-700's
operation is as intuitive to use in every country as it is in our home country of
Canada.
colors The Colors menu page gives you the ability to customize the color of the
touchscreen. Besides the default blue, the screen may be shown in silver, red, or
green. If a different color is chosen, the change takes place immediately so you
can view the colors before leaving the menu page.
volume There are two common ways of displaying the volume information in a multi-
channel system: absolute and relative.
The absolute system refers to the notion that most people think of the number
0 as meaning nothing, e.g., no sound at all. In this system, 0 means "sound off "
and larger numbers indicate high volumes. While this method is intuitive, there's
really no reference for how loud a particular setting is except through prior
experience.
In the relative system, there is a calibrated, reference volume referred to as 0dB.
This reference volume is the same level at which movies are played in theaters.
Regardless of how large or how small the theater, a setting of 0dB is always
the same, known volume. Changes from that volume level are shown as either
positive (louder) or negative (quieter). People who have spent any time making
recordings will recognize that this is similar to the notion of 0dB on a record
level meter.
In any event, the CP-700 offers both systems so that you may choose what
makes the most sense to you personally.
If you Enable Large Volume the volume level will be magnified on the
touchscreen during volume adjustments.

main balance

The main balance control gives you both a numeric and a graphic indication of
the current balance setting for the CP-700.
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.
