We take great pride in offering components that combine exceptional sonic performance and long-term reliability. As with all Classé components, your SACD2 benefits from the investment we've made in extraordinary design and manufacturing facilities. We trust that you will enjoy your purchase for many years to come. CLASSÉ DESIGN PHILOSOPHY All of our components benefit from the same rigorous design goal: All Classé products must reproduce music with the harmonic and spatial integrity typical of fine instruments heard in a live, unamplified performance. [. . . ] Infrared (IR) input and output The Omega SACD2 Player is equipped with 1/ 8" mini-plug connectors that allow the unit to directly receive and transmit remote IR commands. These connectors can be used with equipment that receives IR commands and converts them for transmission on copper wire. This is especially useful for situations where the Omega SACD2 Player is outside of the line-of-sight of your listening location. Contact your Classé dealer for information on installing and using remote IR repeating equipment.

Turning on AC power The Omega SACD2 is turned on by means of a power switch located on the rear of the unit. Do not turn the AC power on until all connections have been made. Standby mode If the Omega SACD2 Player is left idle for more than five minutes, it will automatically enter Standby mode. In this mode, the front panel display and transport power supplies are turned off, saving power. However, the low-level analog power supplies remain on for maximum sonic performance When the Omega SACD2 Player is in Standby mode, a single LED indicator on the front panel will illuminate. The Omega SACD2 Player will automatically return to regular operation when any key on the front panel or remote control is pressed. Front panel controls Below is an illustration of the Classé Omega SACD2 front panel controls and a brief description of each button. STOP Pressing STOP will cause the Omega SACD2 to stop playing. PLAY Pressing the PLAY key will begin playing. If the drawer is open, PLAY will cause the drawer to close. SKIP FORWARD/SKIP BACK Use these keys to select a track on a disc.

Pressing PLAY will also cause the door to close. SACD/CD This key allows the user to select which layer of a multi-layer hybrid SACD disc is played.

When using a single layer disc ­ either SACD or standard CD ­ the Omega SACD2 player automatically selects the appropriate layer and the SACD/CD key is disabled. In addition, the Omega SACD2 automatically defaults to the SACD layer when playing a dual-layer hybrid SACD/CD disc.
