The CDP-502 provides discrete infrared (IR) command codes for all its functions, a list that extends far beyond what is required by normal remote controls. However, many of these functions are critical if you plan to create a customized remote control with macros that take command of your entire system. Without these discrete codes, many of the macros you might want to create will simply not work reliably.
The teach IR screen provides a scrolling list of all the available IR codes in the CDP-502. By scrolling to the command your macro-capable remote needs to learn, and then pressing the send IR code button, the CDP-502 will send the appropriate command code out its front panel—where it can be learned by your third-party remote control.
For more information on such control systems, we recommend you speak with your authorized Classé dealer.
This button brings up the display setup menu, which itself has subordinate menus. For more detailed information, please see the display setup menu, found later in this manual. (It allows you to configure the CDP-502’s LCD screen brightness, the display timeout, the language used in the touchscreen and menu system, the temporary display, and how volume settings are displayed if you use the variable volume capability of the CDP-502.)
Each of the CDP-502 DC Triggers may be programmed as to its “logic level,” which is to say, whether its voltage is low (essentially 0V), or high (approximately 12VDC) when the trigger is activated. The ability to change the level of a trigger’s on state can solve installation-specific problems that otherwise require external devices that add to both the cost and complexity of your system.
If this seems an obscure point, that’s okay. It is a feature designed to solve problems you may not even have, but your installation professional appreciates being able to solve such problems when they occur.
