cautionary note on Fkey use

This button brings up the remote Fkeys menu.
The remote control supplied with your Classé product includes four user- programmable function keys, or “Fkeys.” They are labeled F1, F2, F3, and
F4, and are located near the bottom of the remote control. The “remote Fkeys” menu allows you to define how your
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
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 disc player to Play, both from the press of a single Fkey.
