CAN-Bus

CAN-Bus Classé's Controller Area Network, or CAN-Bus, allows communication and
control between similarly featured Classé components. When the Delta PRE
is connected with other CAN-Bus-equipped Classé components, the different
elements in the system are in constant communication, creating a "global"
network that delivers system wide status information and shared operational
features, all through the preamp/processor's touchscreen display.
Note that some components will require a software update to be recognized on
the CAN-Bus. Check the Classé website periodically for updates.
features CAN-Bus will allow a Classé touchscreen to:
• Display status information for every connected unit, including
amplifiers which do not have a touchscreen display.
• Create a "PlayLink" that allows an SSP or Preamp to automatically switch
to the correct input when a Delta series source component starts playback.
• Adjust the global system brightness.
• Configure the entire system to go in and out of standby at the touch of
a button and also bring individual components in and out of standby.
• Mute any connected unit.
Classé CAN-Bus Equipped Products
Two or more Classé CAN-Bus equipped products are required, at least one of
which must have a touchscreen display.
2 Category 5 Network Cables
These are ordinary network cables, commonly used for broadband Internet
connections. They should be typical "straight through" cables not the "crossed
over" type, and the total required will be one less than the total number of
CAN-Bus equipped components in your system. Daisy chain the components
from one to the next using these network cables.
3 CAN-Bus Terminator
A single CAN-Bus Terminator may be required. It is inserted into the
CAN-Bus OUT connector of the last component in the CAN-Bus daisy
chain. One is included in the box with your amplifier. They are also available
for a small fee from your nearest Classé Customer Support Centre.

so equipped. There is no master component, so Classé series systems where
two or more units have a touchscreen can be controlled through any of the
touchscreens. However, it is probably easiest to start using CAN-Bus through
just one.
CAN-Bus is accessed by pressing the menu button on the face of the unit or
remote, then the status button, followed by the more button (right arrow) in
the upper right corner of the screen. The touchscreen will then display the CAN-
Bus devices screen, which lists connected components by model & serial
number.
