Classe Audio CDP-10 owner manual Display, Functions And Operations, AC Line Input, DC Trigger

AC Line Input

The AC line input is located at the back of the unit below the AC Power switch Connect the supplied AC power cord to this input. As the CAUTION section on the previous page indicates, it is always a wise PRECAUTION to connect all interconnect cables before attaching the AC power cords.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Make sure that the operation voltage of the unit matches the AC outlet voltage in your area. You will find the operating voltage of your unit on the serial number tag at the back of the CDP-10. Improper voltage connection can severely damage your CDP-10.

Infrared (IR) Input and Output

The CDP-10 is equipped with 3.5mm mono-plug connectors that allow the unit to directly receive and transmit remote IR commands. These connectors can be used with equipment that receives IR commands and converts them for transmission on copper wire. This is especially useful for situations where the CDP-10 is outside of the line-of-sight of your listening location. These connections will be found to the right of the fuse holder at the back of the unit.

IR IN will permit you to install an outboard infra- red sensor and therefore be able to control the CDP-10 remotely from another room where the outboard IR sensor has been installed.

IR OUT will permit you to communicate IR signals to other Classé components. You will have to install a 2 conductor shielded cable with 3.5mm mini mono plugs at each end.

DC Trigger

This connection is located is located directly to the right of the IR IN connection near the fuse holder at the back of the unit. This connection will permit you to trigger on or off another unit when the CDP-10 will be put out or in STANDBY mode. The CDP-0 will output a 12 VDC trigger when the unit is out of STANDBY. There will be no voltage present when the CDP-10 is in STANDBY mode. For this purpose you will need to install a conductor shielded cable with 3.5mm mini mono plugs at each end. Polarity should be positive on the tip.

Please consult you Classé dealer regarding these accessories.

DISPLAY, FUNCTIONS AND

OPERATIONS

1. Functions

The front panel of the CDP-10 has nine buttons that perform all the basic necessary functions. The remote control contains all the basic functions found on the front panel (except the LOAD and POWER buttons) as well as all advanced programming features.

Using Figure 1, the front panel controls are (from left to right):

LOAD: Press this button once to open the disk tray. Pressing it again will close the tray.

STANDBY: Press this button to take the unit in or out of STANDBY mode. Please note that this button will only work if the back panel power switch is ON.

PREVIOUS (<): Pressed once during playback, the CDP-10 will start playing the previous track. Pressing it sequentially will cause the CDP-10 to go back one track each time it is pressed. This button is also used to select tracks to play and program into memory.

NEXT (>): Each time this button is pressed, the CDP-10 will advance one track i.e. press it twice to advance two tracks, three for three tracks, etc. If pressed during playback, the CDP-10 resumes playing from the desired track. If pressed while stopped, the CDP-10 will await further commands. This button is also used to select tracks to play and program into memory.

STOP: Press this button to stop the CD from playing.

PLAY: Press this button to start playback. If pressed during playback the CDP-10 resumes play from the start of the current track.

PAUSE: This button is used to pause the PLAY function. To resume playback, press the PAUSE key again.

FORWARD (>>) AND REVERSE (<<) SEARCH:

The CDP-10 employs a convenient 2-speed search. These buttons allow you to quickly search through the disk in both directions. Press and hold down the desired SEARCH button. The time counter will approximately double in speed, and the track heard will be reduced in volume. Once the desired point is reached, release the SEARCH button, playback will resume.

If the SEARCH button is held for more than

4seconds, the CDP-10 goes into a high-speed search mode, and the time counter advances very rapidly. During high-speed search, the volume is completely muted.

NOTE: In addition to the function keys described above (except for the POWER switch), these other function keys are found on the remote handset. For visual aid, refer to fig.2 page 15.

STANDBY (On remote control and on the unit): Use this key to put the CDP-10 in or out of standby mode. Please note that this function will only work if the back panel Power switch is ON.

SHUFFLE (On remote control only): Will access and play the CD tracks randomly, in a different order in which they were originally put on the CD.

SCAN (On remote control only): This function will play the first 10 seconds of each track of the CD.

NUMERIC KEYPAD (digits 0 through 9)

(On remote control only): This is a convenient

alternative to the PREVIOUS and NEXT buttons. Pressing the desired track number on the numeric keypad is usually faster than the PREVIOUS and NEXT buttons. For example, if you just inserted a disk and wish to play track 8, pressing 8 followed by PLAY is easier than pressing the NEXT button eight times, and then PLAY.

REPEAT (On remote control only): Repeats the whole disk, the programmed tracks or just the single track being heard.

A-B(On remote control only): This function will permit you to ‘loop’ a portion of a track when in PLAY mode. When you have arrived at the starting point of the desired loop, press the A-B key once. When you have arrived at the end of the desired portion of the loop, press the A-B key again, the CDP-10 will then start playing this portion.

DISPLAY (On remote control only): When pressed once, the display will count upwards the total time on the disc. If pressed once more, the display will count backwards giving the total remaining time on the disc. If pressed once again, the display will return to its normal function.

PROG (On remote control only): Stores selected tracks into memory for playback. Up to 20 tracks can be stored into the memory of the CDP-10. NOTE: The front panel display of the CDP-10 will not show the ‘total time’ if more than 13 tracks are programmed.

NOTE: There is no variable output on the CDP-10.

2.Display Information and Various Modes of Operation

To insert a disk, press LOAD to open the CD tray. Gently place the disk with the label side up on the tray, and press LOAD again, the tray will close, and several seconds later the display will indicate the total number of tracks on the disk with the total playing time. If the disk has not been properly inserted, or is inserted upside down, ‘NO DISC’ will appear on the display. Disks with bad scratches, finger marks, pinholes, or other severe manufacturing defects might also not be useable.

Once the display confirms the number of tracks and playing time, the CDP-10 is in STOP mode. At this point, you can carry out several different playback modes. Each is described in detail below.

Playback from the beginning or from a selected track

To play an entire disk from the beginning, press PLAY. The CDP-10 will start playing in a few seconds, and will play the entire disk. To play from a desired track onwards, select the desired track using the NEXT (>) and/or PREVIOUS (<) buttons, or with the numeric keypad on the remote control. Then press PLAY. The disk will
