If you prefer the display of the CDP-502 to remain on whenever not in
standby, choose the never timeout setting.  e 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.)
language e language menu off ers you any of fi ve diff erent languages supported by the
CDP-502. Classé have provided our international distributors with a software
tool that makes it possible for them to customize the translations to suit their
local customs and terminology, in an eff ort to ensure that the CDP-502’s
operation is as intuitive to use in every country as it is in our home country of
Canada.
colors e CDP-502 has the ability to change the color of the GUI menu system to
either blue, red, green or silver.
temporary display When playing a DVD, the CDP-502 displays the picture information on
its LCD touchscreen in a “preview” mode.  is can be helpful in cueing up
material before sending the picture to the main display (saving your guests from
the otherwise inevitable FBI warnings). It is also a wonderful way of navigating
through DVD-Audio disc menu systems without having to turn on your main
video display simply to enjoy some music.
When you make use of any of the control functions of the CDP-502, the display
will change from its normal preview mode to display the user interface screens.
e temporary display setting determines how long this user interface remains
displayed before the touchscreen reverts to its usual preview mode.
volume display If you elect to use the variable volume capability of the CDP-502, you have two
choices as to how the volume setting is displayed.
Absolute is how most volume controls work, namely that a setting of “0”
indicates no sound, while larger numbers represent higher volumes.
• In the relative system, there is a calibrated, reference volume at which
movies are played in theaters, which is duplicated in your environment and
referred to as “0 dB.” Regardless of how large or how small the theater, a
setting of “0 dB” is always the same, known volume. Changes from that
volume level are shown as either positive (louder) or negative (quieter).
People who have spent any time making recordings will recognize that this
is similar to the notion of “0 dB” on a record level meter.
large number volume display is function displays the volume level in large numbers on the touchscreen
during volume adjustments, so it is visible from further away.
