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-700 will automatically recognize it, rename the line 1 input to phono, and activate the input on the main menu.
Setting the phono gain is simple enough: choose low gain for most moving magnet cartridges, and for high output moving coil cartridges; choose high gain for low output moving coil cartridges. Your Classé dealer can assist you in determining what type of cartridge you have, and which setting is most appropriate.
Each of the CP-700’s trigger outputs may be programmed as to its “logic level,” which is to say, whether its voltage is low (essentially 0V), or high (approximately 12V) when the trigger is activated. The ability to change the logic 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 easily solve such problems when they occur.
The CP-700 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 CP-700. By scrolling to the command you need to learn into your macro- capable remote, and then pressing the send IR code button, the CP-700 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.
