remote Fkeys

cautionary note on Fkey use

The language menu offers you any of six different languages supported by the CDP-100. Classé have provided our international distributors with a software tool that makes it possible for them to customize the translations to suit their local customs and terminology, in an effort to ensure that the CDP-100’s operation is as intuitive to use in every country as it is in our home country of Canada.

As mentioned above, the remote control supplied with the CDP-100 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 shuffle mode frequently, you may want to consider programming one of the Fkeys to toggle that function on and off. Doing so will save you having to access the control menu, followed by pressing the shuffle button (which might be hard to see from across the room, even though you could do so from the remote control with an fkey assignment).

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.

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 preamplifier’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 preamplifier to the CD input, and also set the CD player to Play, both from the press of a single Fkey.
