buttons change the current character through the
available characters. Th ey include all upper and lower case letters
of the alphabet, the numbers 0-9, and a variety of punctuation.
When done, your main display might look like this (note the
change in what would otherwise be the bal 1 input).
Warning! When an input is renamed ‘SSP’, it becomes a unity
gain input. When such an input is selected, the volume
control of the CP-500 is disabled, all outputs are driven
at line level and the volume indication is removed from
the main menu.
This is useful in situations where the CP-500 is being
used to pass through a signal coming from a component
with its own volume control (e.g. Classé SSP-300
surround sound processor), or when one of its outputs is
sent to a component with its own volume control
(SSP-300). Care should be taken to adjust the volume
control of the other component before selecting
the SSP input, as the resulting volume level may be
uncomfortably loud.
• input balance adjusts an input-specifi c balance adjustment to
compensate for the possibility that a particular source might be
slightly imbalanced. Th
is is especially common with turntables,
since even the fi nest handmade cartridges are subject to small
channel imbalance problems.
• input off set provides a way to compensate for diff erences in
output level between various source components. Doing so
can eliminate the sometimes annoying and abrupt changes in
volume encountered when switching between diff erent source
components.
