The Menu System
operational menu
main menu system system setup
rotary
The rotary knob on the front panel does not directly control the volume. Instead, it controls circuitry that does so with greater fidelity and precision than traditional volume potentiometers could ever achieve
The factory default settings for these behaviors are generally found to be intuitive and a pleasure to use. However, if you prefer to alter these behaviors, you may do so in the rotary menu, shown below
input
reset defaults if after experimenting with various settings you decide you prefer it the way it operated as it came from the factory, pressing this button will restore the factory default settings. So feel free to experiment - you can always return to the original settings
The t button acts like the backspace key on a computer keyboard, moving the cursor to the left and eliminating any characters along the way
phono gain triggers max volume
The phono gain menu is only active if the optional phono module is installed otherwise it is grayed out. When it is installed, the CP-500will automatically recognize it, rename the line 1 input to phono, and activate the input on the main menu
