Selecting the one you want is as simple as scrolling through the list (by touching either the up or down arrows on the right), and then touching the specific function in the list that you want that Fkey to perform.

Note that all Classé remote controls provide these same four Fkeys, so that you need not worry about which remote you happen to pick up. Thus F1 on the integrated amplifier’s remote control sends the same infrared signal as F1 on the CD player’s remote control.

While this is intended to minimize confusion amongst different remotes (since this aspect of them will all perform identically), you should take care when assigning different functions on different components to the same Fkey. Doing so would result in two components doing two different things at once, in response to a single press of a button on the remote control. This can sometimes be useful. As an example, F1 could set the integrated amplifier to the CD input, and also set the CD player to Play, both from the press of a single Fkey.

The primary function of the status screen is to provide information about the current operating status of the CAP-2100. It also provides access to version info screen, which displays information about the unit’s software, and the sensors screen, which displays information from the internal sensors about the temperature and input power.

The version info button on the status screen takes you to the version information screen, which displays information on various pieces of software used by your CAP-2100. If you ever have occasion to call our technical support people to ask a question not covered in this manual, they may want to know precisely what version of software your unit is running. Having this information available will help enable them to give you the best possible service.

The sensors button on the status screen takes you to the sensors screen, which displays information about several internal sensors within the CAP-2100. It is unlikely you might ever need the sensor information, unless directed to do so by a customer service representative at Classé in order to help troubleshoot some unexpected problem.

Classé’s Controller Area Network, or CAN-Bus, opens the way to a new level of interaction between our Delta range of amplifiers, preamps, processors and source components. When the CAP-2100 is connected with CAN-Bus, the different elements of a Delta series system are in constant communication, creating a “global” network that delivers system wide status information and shared operational features, all through the touchscreen display.
