timeout

The display setup menu allows you to define your preferences for three aspects of the CDP-502’s LCD display: the brightness of the backlighting, the timeout of the backlighting, and the language used.

The brightness setting of the CDP-502 has three possible values: low, medium, and high. Select the appropriate setting based on the level of ambient light typically found in your listening room while using the system. A high brightness setting usually works best in brightly-lit rooms; you may find that a lower setting is less visually intrusive under more subdued lighting conditions.

If you prefer listening to music in a dimly-lit or darkened room, you may find even the low brightness setting of the display somewhat distracting. If so, you can vary the timeout of the backlighting so as to turn it off entirely after a period of inactivity you select.

In this context, activity refers to any use of the user interface. This includes hard buttons, the LCD touchscreen, and the remote control.

For example, if you reduce the timeout to its minimum setting, the backlighting will illuminate the display as soon as you interact with any of the CDP-502 controls, and stay on for only three seconds—just long enough for you to check on something. If you continue to use any of the controls (at least once every three seconds), the display will remain lit. It will then extinguish itself after three seconds of inactivity on your part.
