Menu button, LCD touchscreen, Eject button

ENGLISH

2Menu button

Pressing the front panel Menu button will call up the menu system, replacing the normal status display in the LCD touchscreen.

3LCD touchscreen

You may control the player by using the front panel LCD touchscreen. It will usually display the information you are accustomed to seeing on the front of most CD and disc players (track number, time, etc.), as well as the basic transport controls. In addition, the touchscreen can be used to preview videos you may be “cueing up” for friends or family, and to navigate DVD-Audio discs’ menu systems without the distraction of having to turn on your main video display.

By pressing the Menu button, you can also call up the menu system, which gives you control over many of the operational details of the disc 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 into complex systems.

For more information, see the section The Menu System later in this manual.

4Eject button

The front panel Eject button operates the slot-loading mechanism of the disc player. It will eject a loaded disc. There may be a short delay prior to ejection whilst a disc is playing, in order to give the disc time to come to a stop.

A blue light illuminates the slot when there is no disc loaded.

5IR window

The infrared (IR) receiver and transmitter are located behind this window. Ordinarily, the disc player 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 disc player, refer to the section Rear Panel later in this manual, or contact your local Classé dealer.
