The Menu System

Your CAP-2100 includes a versatile LCD touchscreen which supports both an attractive information display and a flexible menu system. While its use is quite intuitive, it is also quite extensive. This section of the owner’s manual outlines the many capabilities found in the menu system.

The operational menu provides easy access to the most basic functions of the integrated amplifier: input selection and tape monitor. It also provides both a numeric and a graphic depiction of the current volume setting

Pressing any of the input buttons on the touchscreen will switch to the appropriate input. You may have as many as three line inputs (meaning single- ended connections using RCA connectors) and one bal input (balanced connector using an XLR connector). If you do not have this many sources in your system, you can elect to deactivate the unused inputs. Doing so removes their associated buttons from the touchscreen, reducing confusion for occasional users of the system.

In addition, the CAP-2100 has a dedicated tape loop for use with sources that can both record and play back, bringing the total number of sources you can connect to the CAP-2100 to five (four single-ended and one balanced).

When you touch the tape button to highlight it, you will notice that the previously selected input remains highlighted. Whenever any input is selected for listening, it is also selected for possible recording; a copy of its signal is sent to the recording device connected to the tape output. You may record it or not as you please.

When you select the tape button, you are asking the CAP-2100 to continue with this recording feed (whether or not it is being used), while switching to monitor the output of the tape deck (or CD recorder, or whatever else you might have connected to the record loop). In this way, you can monitor the result of your recording while you are making it, in real time. (This assumes that your recording device supports this capability, as do three-head tape decks.)
