Page 9: Warm Up/Break-In Period
warm up/break-in period Your new Classé disc player will deliver outstanding performance immediately. However, you should expect to hear it improve somewhat as it reaches its normal operating temperatures and its various components “break-in.” It has been our experience that the greatest changes occur within the ﬁ rst 300 hours, as the player reaches thermal equilibrium and the capacitors fully form.
Page 10: Special Design Features
Special Design Features flexible GUI Th e LCD touchscreen on the front panel of your new component supports an extremely ﬂ exible and versatile graphical user interface (GUI) while maintaining a clean, uncluttered appearance. Th e touchscreen accesses a range of controls that might otherwise require dozens of buttons and knobs on the front panel.
