brightness e brightness setting of the CAP-2100 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ndthatalowersetting
is less visually intrusive under more subdued lighting conditions.
timeout 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. is 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 CAP-2100
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.
If you prefer the display of the CAP-2100 to remain on whenever not in
standby, choose the nevertimeoutsetting.elampintheLCDdisplaywas
designed for harsh automotive environments and will give you many years of
reliable operation. If you plan to leave the unit on continuously, however, we
recommend that you keep the timeout delay set to less than one minute. (Note
that setting the brightness to a lower setting does not increase the life of the lamp.)
language e language menu offers you any of six different languages supported by the
CAP-2100. Classé has provided our international distributors with a software
tool that makes it possible for them to customize the translations to suit their

operation is as intuitive to use in every country as it is in our home country of
Canada.
colors e Colors menu page gives you the ability to customize the color of the
touchscreen. Besides the default blue, the screen may be shown in silver, red, or
green. If a different color is chosen, the change takes place immediately so you
can view the colors before leaving the menu page.
volume ere are two common ways of displaying the volume information in a multi-
channel system: absolute and relative.
e absolute system refers to the notion that most people think of the number
0 as meaning nothing, e.g., no sound at all. In this system, 0 means “sound off ”

really no reference for how loud a particular setting is except through prior
experience.
