The Remote Control

Your new disc player comes with a versatile remote control which can control both the CDP-502 itself and several aspects of the rest of a Classé-based system. The keys are arranged in logical groups according to their functions.

1Basic Functions

This section along the top of the remote control includes two groups of four functions that control your basic interactions with the CDP-502. The general group is located in the topmost row, and includes:

•Light switches the backlighting of the remote control on, for better visibility under low-light conditions. After a few moments of inactivity, the backlight switches off automatically.

•Info takes you directly to the status screen in the LCD menu system, displaying several items of information about the CDP-502 and its current operational status.

•Disp (for Display) cycles through the three brightness settings of the screen display.

•Standby toggles the CDP-502 between standby and operate.

The DVD-specific group addresses secondary features of the DVD standard which you may have seen on other DVD players, namely:

•Zoom cycles through the available “zoomed in” or magnified views of the DVD.

•Angle cycles through the available camera angles of the DVD being watched. (Relatively few discs take advantage of this optional feature of the DVD standard.)

•Audio cycles through the various available soundtracks on the disc being played. (You can set your preference in the menu system, and it will become the default; this button cycles you through the other options, should you want to explore them.)

•Subtitle cycles through the available subtitles in various languages.

2Numeric Keypad, Programming & Volume

The next section down on the remote control provides the numeric keypad for use in directly accessing particular tracks on the CD/DVD you are playing, as well as two keys that are frequently used in conjunction with the numeric keys. The Volume and Mute controls are also in this section.

•The Numeric Keypad can be used to access specific tracks/ chapters directly from your remote control. Simply press the appropriate number key (or keys) followed by the Play key. The CDP-502 will go directly to your selection and begin to play. For example, to play track 12, press the 1, 2, and Play keys in sequence.
