The Menu System
Your CAP-2100 includes a versatile LCD touchscreen which supports both an
attractive information display and a fl exible menu system. While its use is quite
intuitive, it is also quite extensive. is section of the owner’s manual outlines
the many capabilities found in the menu system.
operational menu
e operational menu provides easy access to the most basic functions of the
integrated amplifi er: input selection and tape monitor. It also provides both a
numeric and a graphic depiction of the current volume setting
input selection Pressing any of the input buttons on the touchscreen will switch to the
appropriate input. You may have as many as three line inputs (meaning single-
ended connections using RCA connectors) and one bal input (balanced
connector using an XLR connector). If you do not have this many sources in
your system, you can elect to deactivate the unused inputs. Doing so removes
their associated buttons from the touchscreen, reducing confusion for occasional
users of the system.
tape loop In addition, the CAP-2100 has a dedicated tape loop for use with sources that
can both record and play back, bringing the total number of sources you can
connect to the CAP-2100 to fi ve (four single-ended and one balanced).
When you touch the tape button to highlight it, you will notice that the
previously selected input remains highlighted. Whenever any input is selected
for listening, it is also selected for possible recording; a copy of its signal is sent
to the recording device connected to the tape output. You may record it or not as
you please.
When you select the tape button, you are asking the CAP-2100 to continue
with this recording feed (whether or not it is being used), while switching to
monitor the output of the tape deck (or CD recorder, or whatever else you might
have connected to the record loop). In this way, you can monitor the result of
your recording while you are making it, in real time. ( is assumes that your
recording device supports this capability, as do three-head tape decks.)
