User manual CLASSE AUDIO CP-700 V1.5

[. . . ] The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated dangerous voltage within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. the exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance. Marking by the "CE" symbol (shown left) indicates compliance of this device with the EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) and LVD (Low Voltage Directive) standards of the European Community. Classe products are designed to comply with international directives on the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) in electrical and electronic equipment and the disposal of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). [. . . ] Your new preamplifier comes with a versatile remote control which can control both the CP-700 itself and several aspects of the rest of a Classé-based system. The buttons are arranged in logical groups according to their functions. Basic Functions This section along the top of the remote control groups four functions that control your basic interactions with the CP-700. Light switches the backlighting of the remote control on, for better visibility under low-light conditions. After a few moments of inactivity, the backlight switches off automatically. Info takes you directly to the status screen in the LCD menu system, displaying several items of information about the CP-700 and its current operational status. Disp (for Display) cycles through the three brightness settings of the screen display. Input Selection & Volume The Up and Down arrow keys on the left side of the remote control will cycle through the active inputs on your CP-700. If you have inputs you are not using, we suggest deactivating them in order to provide faster, easier access to the inputs you are actually using. (See the section The Menu System for information on how to do this. ) The Up and Down arrow keys on the right side of the remote control will raise and lower volume; the square key between them will activate the Mute function of the CP-700 (as defined in the menu system; see The Menu System for more on your mute options). This array of buttons is similar to what you may have seen on remote controls for DVD players, and is used for navigation of the menu system of the CP-700. Home returns you to the normal input selection controls normally shown on the LCD screen on the front panel of the CP-700. This provides a quick way to get back to normal operation, regardless of how deep you might be in the menu system. Menu serves two functions: it calls up the menu system when you need it in order to adjust something to your preference; once within the menu system, pressing Menu returns you to the previous level of the menu system. If you press Menu when at the top level of the menu system, it will take you back out of the menu system to the normal display. The Bal (balance) key takes you directly to the balance screen in the menu system; once there, you can use the navigation keys on the remote to select either the left or right buttons on the LCD touchscreen, depending on which way you wish to move the balance. Adjust the relative left-right balance of the system by using the Enter key on the remote to "press" the appropriate button on the display. Up/Down/Left/Right keys allow you to move within a particular menu screen, changing the highlighted item up/down/ left/right as you like, from the comfort of your listening position. The Enter key allows you to select the highlighted item, having the same effect as if you had pressed the button on the LCD touchscreen. The Tape key is not a navigation key, per se, but allows you to easily toggle between listening to the selected source and listening to the output of your recording device. If you have a recording device (such as a three-head tape deck) which can play back a recording while it is being made, you will be able to compare the original signal to the recording while you are making it. [. . . ] If you are in doubt, consult your authorized Classé dealer. There is a mechanical hum coming from the unit. This symptom suggests you have a lot of electrical noise on your AC mains line. Try connecting to another AC circuit (not merely a different plug, but a different circuit). [. . . ]
