Instead, it controls circuitry that does so with greater ﬁdelity and precision than traditional volume potentiometers could ever achieveThe 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 settingsThe 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 menuteach IR display setup brightness timeout language main balanceremote Fkeys cautionary note on Fkey usestatus version info sensorsTroubleshooting 4.The IR remote control seems not to function 3.Only one speaker seems to be playing5.There is a hum coming out of the speakers 6.There is a mechanical hum coming from the unitCare and Maintenance cleaning the cabinetRated power consumption Overall dimensionsNet weight Shipping weightDimensions Classé Audio 5070 François Cusson Lachine, Quebec Canada H8T 1B3 +1 514 +1 514 636-1428faxv2.5 080906
