The Remote Control

Your new integrated amplifier comes with a versatile remote control which can control both the CAP-2100 itself and several aspects of the rest of a Classé-based system. The buttons are arranged in logical groups according to their functions.

1Basic Functions

This section along the top of the remote control groups four functions that control your basic interactions with the CAP-2100.

•Light switches the backlighting of the remote control on, for better visibility under low-light conditions. After a few moments of inactivity, the backlight switches off automatically.

•Info takes you directly to the status screen in the LCD menu system, displaying several items of information about the CAP-2100 and its current operational status.

•Disp (for Display) cycles through the three brightness settings of the screen display.

•Standby toggles the CAP-2100 between standby and operate.

2Navigation Keys

The central section of the remote control contains the navigation keys. This array of buttons is similar to what you may have seen on remote controls for DVD players, and is used for navigation of the menu system of the CAP-2100.

•Home returns you to the normal input selection controls normally shown on the LCD screen on the front panel of the CAP-2100. This provides a quick way to get back to normal operation, regardless of how deep you might be in the menu system.

•Menu serves two functions: it calls up the menu system when you need it in order to adjust something to your preference; once within the menu system, pressing Menu returns you to the previous level of the menu system. If you press Menu when at the top level of the menu system, it will take you back out of the menu system to the normal display.

•Up/Down/Left/Right keys allow you to move within a particular menu screen, changing the highlighted item up/down/ left/right as you like, from the comfort of your listening position.

•The Enter key allows you to select the highlighted item, having the same effect as if you had pressed the button on the LCD touchscreen.

•The Tape key is not a navigation key, per se, but allows you to easily toggle between listening to the selected source and listening to the output of your recording device. If you have a recording device (such as a three-head tape deck) which can play back a recording while it is being made, you will be able to compare the original signal to the recording while you are making it.
