2Menu button
Pressing the front panel Menu button will call up the menu system, replacing the normal status display in the LCD touchscreen of the CDP-100.
3LCD touchscreen
Most of your interaction with the CDP-100 will be with the front panel LCD touchscreen (and with the CDP-100’s supplied remote control). It will usually display the information you are accustomed to seeing on the front of most CD players (track number, time, etc.), as well as the basic transport controls.
By pressing the Menu button, you can also call up the menu system of the CDP-100, which gives you control over many of the operational details of the CD player, including system setup options, various display options (including the language in which the menu system itself displays), and several custom-installation capabilities that allow superior integration of the CDP-100 into complex systems.
For more information, see the section The Menu System later in this manual.
4Load button
The front panel Load button operates the drawer mechanism of the CDP-100. It will toggle the drawer between open and closed. There may be a short delay when opening the drawer while a disc is playing, in order to give the disc time to come to a stop.
5IR window
The infrared (IR) receiver and transmitter are located behind this window. Ordinarily, your Classé CDP-100 must be able to “see” the remote control from this window in order to respond to remote control commands.
If your CD player will be located behind closed doors, or for any other reason will not be able to “see” the remote control during normal operation, you may use the rear panel IR input and output mini-jacks and an IR repeater system to solve the problem. For more information about using an infrared repeater system to route signals to and from the CDP-100, refer to the section Rear Panel later in this manual, or contact your local Classé dealer.
