cautionary note on Fkey use

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.

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.

cp-700 specifications

The Classe Audio CP-700 is a high-performance audio preamplifier that exemplifies the brand’s commitment to sound quality, design, and innovative technology. Tailored for audiophiles and music enthusiasts, the CP-700 combines superior build quality with advanced circuitry to deliver an immersive listening experience.

One of the standout features of the CP-700 is its robust digital processing capabilities. It includes a high-resolution DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter) that supports audio formats up to 24-bit/192kHz. This ensures that every detail of the music is reproduced with outstanding clarity and precision. The preamplifier also boasts multiple digital inputs, including USB, coaxial, and optical, making it versatile enough to accommodate various audio sources.

The analog section of the CP-700 is equally impressive, featuring Classe's proprietary technologies that minimize noise and distortion.
