2Menu button
Pressing the front panel Menu button will call up the menu system, replacing the normal status display in the LCD touchscreen of the CDP-300.
3LCD touchscreen
Most of your interaction with the CDP-300 will be with the front panel LCD touchscreen (and with the CDP-300’s supplied remote control). It will usually display the information you are accustomed to seeing on the front of most CD and DVD players (track number, time, etc.), as well as the basic transport controls. In addition, the touchscreen can be used to preview videos you may be “cueing up” for friends or family, and to navigate DVD-Audio discs’ menu systems without the distraction of having to turn on your main video display.
By pressing the Menu button, you can also call up the menu system of the CDP-300, which gives you control over many of the operational details of the DVD player, including system setup options, various display options (including the language in which the menu system itself displays), and several custom-installation capabilities that allow superior integration of the CDP-300 into complex systems.
For more information, see the section The Menu System later in this manual.
4Eject button
The front panel Eject button operates the slot-loading mechanism of the CDP-300. It will eject a loaded disc. There may be a short delay prior to ejection whilst a disc is playing, in order to give the disc time to come to a stop.
A blue light illuminates the slot when there is no disc loaded.
5IR window
The infrared (IR) receiver and transmitter are located behind this window. Ordinarily, your Classé CDP-300 must be able to “see” the remote control from this window in order to respond to remote control commands.
If your DVD player will be located behind closed doors, or for any other reason will not be able to “see” the remote control during normal operation, you may use the rear panel IR input and output mini-jacks and an IR repeater system to solve the problem. For more information about using an infrared repeater system to route signals to and from the CDP-300, refer to the section Rear Panel later in this manual, or contact your local Classé dealer.
