At this point an underline character appears in the bottom row of the LCD display. (On the on-screen display, one of the characters of the current name will flash.) The cursor will move to the leftmost character of the mode name. Now push PARAM ▲ or ▼ until the character you want appears in the space. (Holding either button for one second activates an auto-repeat mode to speed you through the list.) All letters are available, in upper case, as are digits 0-9, a blank space and an assortment of other characters. When the first space in the display is correct, press PARAM, use PARAM ▲ and ▼ to set the second character and repeat until the new name is complete.

Press SETUP to exit to the main Setup menu. Press SETUP again to resume normal operation.

Lastly, the CP-3 is designed to be operated day to day with the Standard

Remote. Unless you are an incorrigible tweaker, simply put the Expanded

Remote away, with its batteries removed for safe keeping.

Custom Modes

When the CP-3 is powered up via the Standard remote, it will automatically restrict itself to the five operating modes in User Bank B that correspond to those listed on the remote. These modes are stored in registers B2, B6, B11, B10, and B15. Since these modes are stored in User registers, it is possible to change these modes so that a new operating mode is engaged when one of the five mode buttons on the Standard remote is pressed. For instance, you may choose to have NIGHTCLUB load a small Ambience hall instead of the default Panorama Wide mode — To do this, simply load the small Ambience hall into register B2. Of course you can also adjust any of the parameters in the mode. Adjustments will be saved automatically.
