[. . . ] Owner's Manual CDP-100 CD Player WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE. CAUTION RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED PERSONNEL. The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated dangerous voltage within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance. Marking by the "CE" symbol (shown left) indicates compliance of this device with the EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) and LVD (Low Voltage Directive) standards of the European Community. NOTICE All of us at Classé take extreme care to ensure that your purchase will remain a prized investment. [. . . ] If you are not using balanced analog interconnection, then connect these single-ended outputs to your preamplifier/processor using high quality RCA-terminated cables. Your Classé dealer can advise you on the selection of cables suitable for your system. 14 4 IR Input and Output Your Classé player includes two 1/8th-inch mono mini-jacks in order to support the infrared (IR) remote controls that are ubiquitous today. Infrared commands exist (for example) for toggling the player between operate and standby, in addition to discrete command codes for either operate or standby. These codes may be used in "macros" for sophisticated remote control systems, facilitating the control of the player in the larger context of a complete system. The list of commands available is quite extensive, enabling even complex macros (chains of commands strung together) to operate flawlessly. If this capability is of interest to you, we strongly recommend discussing it with your authorized Classé dealer. Note that IR Input and Output is a bit of a misnomer: the input and output of these plugs is electrical in nature, not infrared. They are used with standard IR receivers, distribution amplifiers, and emitters (available from your dealer) to translate the remote's IR signal to an electrical signal and vice versa. The big advantages here include being able to easily route the signals anywhere they might need to go and the reliability of a solid electrical connection. Since an IR distribution system such as your dealer may design for you usually must control many products, your player includes both an IR input (for the control of this product) and an IR output (so as to pass along the same signal to the next product). This allows you to "daisy chain" your control wires from one product to the next. The player is designed to respond to IR commands of 5 Volts DC, with the tip of the mini-plug defined to be "positive" relative to the shank of the plug. 5 DC Trigger Input and Output Many audio/video components can supply a DC control voltage to associated equipment in order to induce desired behavior. Your Classé player can take advantage of these capabilities in order to be switched between operate and standby automatically, usually in concert with the A/V preamp itself. The 1/8th-inch mini-jack Trigger In is for remote-controlled turn-on (that is, toggling between operate and standby) of the player. Two 1/8th-inch mini-jacks provide individually controllable DC trigger outputs which can be used for any of a number of purposes, as described in The Menu System. For example, your dealer can program Trigger Out1 to toggle your Classé power amplifier between operate and standby with your CDP-100. 15 The remote Trigger In will respond to the presence of 5­12VDC, with tip polarity as shown below: Similarly, Trigger Out will create a 12VDC signal that can source up to 100mA of current. 6 Classé CAN Bus Control Ports These RJ-45 connectors are reserved for future control and communication applications using Classé Audio's implementation of the Controller Area Network (CAN) Bus specification. RS-232 Control Port This DB-9 connector has two purposes: · downloading new operating software into your player · external control of your preamplifier by systems such as i-CommandTM, AMX® and CrestronTM For more information, please contact your dealer and ask about home automation systems. 8 AC Mains Power switch The main power switch for the CDP-100 is located at the right side of the rear panel. The player should be in standby mode before being switched off. Switching the unit on puts it in standby mode. Potentially dangerous voltages and current capabilities exist within your CD player, even when disconnected from AC mains. [. . . ] · Check that both interconnect cables are properly connected between the outputs of the CDP-100 and the inputs of your preamplifier or integrated amplifier. · Ensure that the preamplifier/amplifier units being used are properly configured. (You may need to consult those units' owner's manuals for more information. ) 2. 3. 4. 26 5. The screen shows an error message and the Load button does not eject the disc (or the player shows some other anomalous behavior). · Press the Standby button so the screen dims and the blue light goes on.
