display setup menu The display setup menu, described in the following pages, allows you to define
your preferences for three aspects of the CDP-100’s LCD display: the
brightness
of the backlighting, the timeout of the backlighting, and the language used.
brightness The brightness setting of the CDP-100 has three possible values: low, medium,
and high. Select the appropriate setting based on the level of ambient light
typically found in your listening room while using the system. A high brightness
setting usually works best in brightly-lit rooms; you may find that a lower setting
is less visually intrusive under more subdued lighting conditions.
timeout If you prefer listening to music in a dimly-lit or darkened room, you may find
even the low brightness setting of the display somewhat distracting. If so, you
can vary the
timeout of the backlighting so as to turn it off entirely after a
period of inactivity you select.
In this context, activity refers to any use of the user interface. This includes hard
buttons, the LCD touchscreen, and the remote control.
For example, if you reduce the timeout to its minimum setting, the backlighting
will illuminate the display as soon as you interact with any of the CDP-100
controls, and stay on for only three seconds—just long enough for you to check
on something. If you continue to use any of the controls (at least once every
three seconds), the display will remain lit. It will then extinguish itself after three
seconds of inactivity on your part.
If you prefer the display of the CDP-100 to remain on whenever not in
standby
, choose the never timeout setting. The lamp in the LCD display was
designed for harsh automotive environments and will give you many years of
reliable operation. If you plan to leave the unit on continuously, however, we
recommend that you keep the timeout delay set to less than one minute. (Note
that setting the brightness to a lower setting does not increase the life of the lamp.)
