In the relative system, there is a calibrated, reference volume referred to as 0dB. This reference volume is the same level at which movies are played in theaters. Regardless of how large or how small the theater, a setting of 0dB is always the same, known volume. Changes from that volume level are shown as either positive (louder) or negative (quieter). People who have spent any time making recordings will recognize that this is similar to the notion of 0dB on a record level meter.

In any event, the CAP-2100 offers both systems so that you may choose what makes the most sense to you personally.

If you Enable Large Volume the volume level will be magnified on the touchscreen during volume adjustments.

The main balance control gives you both a numeric and a graphical indication of the current balance setting for the CAP-2100. Some recordings are not balanced particularly well between the left and right channels. If the image presented by a particular recording seems heavily weighted to the left (for example), you can restore a more natural perspective with the balance control. To shift the image to the right, touch the right>> button one or more times as needed to correct the perceived imbalance.

The remote control supplied with the CAP-2100 has four function keys (Fkeys) that allow you to have instant, easy access to specific system functions that might otherwise be buried in a menu somewhere.

For example, if you use the balance control frequently, you may want to consider programming one of the Fkeys to take you straight to that screen. Doing so will save you having to access the control menu, followed by pressing the balance button (which might be hard to see from across the room).

The remote Fkey menu has four buttons, one each for the four Fkeys on your remote control. Pressing any of these buttons on the LCD touchscreen takes you

to a subordinate, scrolling list of possible functions for that particular Fkey.
