4 Mute Control
The Mute button reduces the CP-800 volume by a pre-determined
amount. Pressing it a second time restores the volume to its previous level.
This behavior can be easily customized for very specific user requirements.
(See the section on Volume Setup for more information.)
NOTE: If you increase the volume using either the front panel
volume knob or the remote control while
Mute
is engaged, the
mute control disengages, and audio adjustments are executed
starting from the muted level. This is a safety measure to prevent
accidentally restoring the volume at unexpectedly high levels.
5 IR Window
The location of the IR (infrared) transceiver for the remote control is
behind this window. In most cases, there must be a clear path between
the IR window and the remote control in order for the CP-800 to
acknowledge the remote control commands.
If the IR window is not in view, for example if it’s placed in a cabinet or
closet, then the rear panel IR input can be utilized for remote control. For
more details about this option, see the IR input description in the Rear
Panel section found later in this manual.
In addition to receiving IR commands, the CP-800 can also transmit IR
commands to third-party learning remote controls. For more details about
this option, refer to the Teach IR description in the Menu System section
found later in this manual.
6 USB Host Connector
The front panel USB connector allows the CP-800 to work with Apple’s
portable media devices such as iPad™, iPod® and iPhone® which require this
type of connection. The front panel USB connector accepts digital audio
from these devices as well as providing power for recharging them. Limited
control is also available for these devices using the navigation keys on the
CP-800 remote control.
The front panel USB connector is also used to load firmware updates.
When updates are posted in the software downloads section of the Classé
web site, they may be loaded onto a USB stick and plugged into the front
panel of the CP-800. When the power is switched on from the rear panel,
the update will proceed automatically. Near the end of the update you will
be asked to touch the screen in three identified locations for touchscreen
calibration. Once complete, the light on the USB stick will extinguish and
the touchscreen will show the Home page. Remove the USB stick and
continue using the CP-800. Remember that any subsequent setup changes
are stored when the CP-800 is put into standby.
7 Headphone Jack
The 1/4 ” (6.35mm) Headphone Jack accommodates stereo headphones.
Inserting a headphone plug mutes the main audio outputs.
