Of course, it is possible to bump into the knob by accident, which might
result in its spinning very quickly indeed. Rather than increasing the volume
uncontrollably under these conditions, the CP-500 actually slows everything
down again as a safety measure against accidentally blowing your speakers. In
fact, if you like you may establish a speed limit beyond which the knob will
simply be ignored.
The factory default settings for these behaviors are generally found to be intuitive
and a pleasure to use. However, if you prefer to alter these behaviors, you may do
so in the rotary menu, shown below.
All of the rotary setup settings are interactive. You can set the value, and then
adjust the volume to see whether the effect is what you desired.
• low range: determines the degree to which the responsiveness of
the volume control is boosted at low volume control settings, in
order to get through them more quickly. A setting of 0 disengages
the effect, while a setting of 100 maximizes it.
• low speed: determines the responsiveness of the control when the
knob is being turned slowly. A setting of 0 will cause the volume
to change as slowly as possible at low knob speeds; a setting of
100 will cause the volume to change as quickly as allowed at low
knob speeds. (The menu is the same as the one above except for the
indication that it is for the “low speed” adjustment.)
• medium speed: determines the responsiveness of the control
when the knob is being turned at a moderate speed. A setting of
0 will cause the volume to change as slowly as possible at medium
speeds; a setting of 100 will cause the volume to change as quickly
as allowed at medium knob speeds.
(The menu is the same as the
one above except for the indication that it is for the “medium speed”
adjustment.)
• high speed: determines the responsiveness of the control when the
knob is being turned rapidly. A setting of 0 will cause the volume
to change as slowly as possible at high knob speeds; a setting of
100 will cause the volume to change as quickly as allowed at high
knob speeds. (The menu is the same as the one above except for the
indication that it is for the “high speed” adjustment.)
